Johann Georg Christian Kestner (28 August 1741 – 24 May 1800) was a German lawyer and archivist. He is also notable as the model for Lotte's husband Albert in The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe, with Kestner's fiancée Charlotte Buff used as the model for Lotte herself.

Life

In the 18th and 19th centuries the Kestner family was one of the families at court (German: hübsche Familien).[1] As a young Brunswick-Lüneburg legation secretary in the imperial chamber court (Reichskammergericht) in Wetzlar from 1767 to 1773, he met and became engaged to Charlotte Buff, a daughter of the bailiff of the local Deutschordenshof.

Goethe also worked at the same court during 1772 and got to know both Kestner and Buff. Goethe fell in love with Buff, nicknaming her "Lotte", even though she was already engaged. This love and Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem's suicide using Kestner's borrowed pistols were both used by Goethe in The Sorrows of Young Werther, which first appeared in 1774.

Buff and Kestner married in 1773 in Wetzlar and then moved to Hanover, where he became vice-archivist and privy councillor to the Hanoverian court. He and Buff had twelve children, with Goethe acting as godfather to the eldest son Georg, who followed his father as an archivist. Another son, August, was a diplomat and art collector. The family lived on the Aegidienstraße then on Großen Wallstraße (now known as Georgswall). Kestner died on a business trip to Lüneburg and his grave no longer survives. His and his wife's documents are now in the Stadtarchiv Hannover.[2]
