Hm, for some reason, the pre-1757 issues only give military and administration/organization personnel, not the court officials. But I can tell you that 1757-1759, Lehndorff lived "an der Jägerbrücke in des Güther-Verwalter Schließers Hause" and from 1760 on he lived "hinterm Zeughause am Kupfergraben in des Kriegesrath Hn. Westphals Hause".

ETA: Oh, hey, additional 1759 info, "changes during printing": Lehndorf lived "in der Commendantenstrasse an der Ecke der Friedrichsbrücke in des Zelt-Schneider Pielers Hause" - he moved twice in 1759/60?

Well, his mother and I think one of his wife's brothers moved in with him that year, so he might have had to! Anyway, thank you so much! So it seems while Marie probably saw the phosphor inscription, she didn't have to live with it for longer than a year, less than that given she spent some of it in Magdeburg anyway.

Or maybe not at all, because I suspect the address books were printed at the end of the old year, given that they also, as the title suggests, contain a calendar, and then as a last page they got the "changes during printing" one. So my guess is that Lehndorff probably moved for the first time before the February 1759 wedding, because the book, including the "during printing" page, should have been finished by then if it was to be used for the year. And then he moved again in 1759, and early enough for the new address to be included in the 1760 calendar regularly.

Good point! Okay, then his wife probably was spared the "The worthiest of mortals" inscription. Next question: Did Lehndorff have to replace the wallpaper before he moved out? Today, any landlord would have insisted, but then?

I know, I'm impressed and tickled too! No detail is too small! :D
