Property formerly in the collection of Friedrich-Werner Graf von der Schulenburg (1875-1945), Friedrich-Werner Graf von der Schulenburg (1875 -1945) was a diplomat who served as the last German ambassador to the Soviet Union before Operation Barbarossa. He began his diplomatic career before the First World War, serving as consul and ambassador in, amongst others, Lviv, Prague, Warsaw and Tbilisi. At the outbreak of war in 1914 Schulenburg returned to the military, and after the First Battle of the Marne in 1914 he was promoted to captain and put in charge of an artillery battery. In 1915, he went as German liaison officer to the Ottoman Army on the Armenian Front. In 1916, he took over leadership of the Georgian Legion in the struggle with Russia, until its collapse in 1917. He received the Iron Cross and also some high Turkish honours. After the German Empire's collapse, he was captured by the British and interned on the Turkish island of Prinkipo (now called Büyük Ada), returning to Germany only in 1919. Schulenburg returned to the Foreign Office Service and became consul in Beirut and was later envoy to Tehran and Bucharest. In 1934, he was appointed German ambassador to the Soviet Union. He favoured an agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, and was instrumental in bringing about the August 1939 German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact. After the Soviet invasion of Poland, despite the state of war between Germany and Poland, he used his position as the senior ambassador in Moscow to allow Polish diplomats to leave Soviet Union. He also tried to thwart the German attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941. After the aggression began Schulenburg was interned for a few weeks, and transferred to the Soviet- Turkish border. Thereafter, Schulenburg was assigned leader of the Russia Committee, a Foreign Office post with no political influence. He was ready and willing to negotiate with Stalin in the plotters' names to overthrow Hitler. After the attempted assassination on Hitler's life in the Stauffenberg conspiracy, or 20th July plot, Schulenberg was arrested, and charged as a 69-year-old with high treason. On 23 October 1944 he was sentenced to death and hung.
