There, he initially worked as the preceptor of the youngest son of Franz Heinrich von Sch\u00f6nburg. In the same year (1749) Struve accompanied his young pupil (Albert Heinrich von Sch\u00f6nburg) to Erlangen. From 1750 to 1752 both were in Dresden and Leipzig. Anton Sebastian Struve then became the private secretary of the Count, Franz Heinrich, who had established himself in Dresden as the Saxonian representative in the German Reichstag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1755 Struve entered the service of Duke Peter of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf and later the service of the Russian Empire, when Peter became Tsar Peter III of Russia.  Peter appointed Anton Struve as Holstein legation secretary to the Reichstag in Regensburg and on September 19, 1755, Struve traveled from Dresden to Regensburg to take up hisappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There he met Dorothea Reimers (1735\u20131795), the daughter of his predecessor, the Holstein Legation Secretary, Claus Reimers. The marriage took place on May 11, 1756. As many as twelve children are said to have been born to the couple, six boys and six girls, three of the children died in early childhood, but only his oldest son Johann Gustav (1763 – 1828), his youngest son, Heinrich Christian Gottfried (born January 10, 1772 in Regensburg , \u2020 January 9, 1851 in Hamburg), and youngest daughter Philippine had children. With regard to the oldest, his name was either Johann Christian Gustav<\/span> or Johann Christoph Gustav. The records are not clear but we lean here toward Christian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
