Varnhagen von Ense's hypothesis on Friedrich Carl Ferdinand Freiherr von Muffling - like Grimm's on "die Jagemann" - registers an ambivalence about the Captain that Kittler's naming of Rochow does not.
The Weimar courtier Carl Wilhelm Heinrich Freiherr von Lyncker remembers von Muffling, a Prussian field marshal, as "wohl nachst Goethen unter [den] Vertrautesten und Einflussreichsten des hochstseligen Herrn" during the period of French occupation (an intimacy which, taken alone, may have worried Goethe, whose relations with his prince were then cooling rapidly).
