Lehndorff‘s retirement diaries were published as well by the same editor as his chamberlain years ones, in Gotha 1921.

Oooh! Can you get copies of them? If not, if you want to pass on the title, I can do my best as detective-cum-librarian. :)

Title is: „Des Reichsgrafen Ernst Ahasverus Heinrich Lehndorff Tagebücher nach seiner Kammerherrenzeit“. Haven‘t checked yet whether the Stabi has them.

More on your many wonderful comments later, but for now: Stabi delivers!

It says volume 1, but so far, I've only found evidence of one volume. Will dig more later.

Ordered, and I‘ve added the Hahn quote to my other reply.

Sweet! More Lehndorff awaits us.
