During the reign of Count Christian Detlef zu Rantzau, there were repeated riots at Rantzau Castle in Barmstedt, as he lived very excessively and fleeced his subjects. On a trip to Berlin he was arrested because the childless count was accused of homosexual acts. He was only released from captivity after 5 years. Meanwhile, his brother Wilhelm Adolf von Rantzau took over the government and was much more popular. But when Christian returned, he took control again and carried on as before. A year later, while he was hunting in the forest, a bullet from the undergrowth killed him. If an accident was initially assumed, his brother Wilhelm Adolf was soon suspected of being the instigator of the murder. He was imprisoned and the county of Rantzau and its possessions were confiscated by the Danish king. Nevertheless, the fratricide could never be fully proven. The memorial stone stands where the alleged fratricide is said to have taken place.

He was a grandson of the first Imperial Count Christian zu Rantzau. Christian Detlev inherited his father Detlev zu Rantzau after he died on the Drage estate in 1697. His reign was marked by disputes with the Danish King Christian V, who was also Duke of Holstein. Christian Detlev was allegedly murdered by his brother Wilhelm Adolf zu Rantzau. (Source: Wikipedia)
