  Rudolf Von Bennigsen - LoveToKnow 1911
RUDOLF VON BENNIGSEN (1824-1902), German politician, was born at Luneburg on the 10th of July 1824.
He was descended from an old Hanoverian family, his father, Karl von Bennigsen, being an officer in the Hanoverian army, who rose to the rank of general and also held diplomatic appointments.
He at once became the recognized leader of the Liberal opposition to the reactionary government, but must be distinguished from Count Bennigsen, a member of the same family, and son of the distinguished Russian general, who was also one of the parliamentary leaders at the time.
