Christian Georg von Helmolt (1728-1805) was a military officer, court official, and dramatist from the duchy of Saxe-Gotha. He was the son of Christian Ludwig von Helmolt (d. 1763), from whom he and his brothers jointly inherited the Bilzingsleben estate.
Helmolt had a distinguished career at the ducal court in Gotha. He was appointed Master of the Horse (Stallmeister) in 1763 and also served as a Chamberlain (Kammerherr) from at least 1764 until after June 1768. He was later appointed Privy Councillor (Geheimerat). An accomplished linguist, he translated several works, including Alexander Pope's famous poem "Eloisa to Abelard" from English and various plays from French into German.
Von Helmolt was married to Sophie Emilie Franziska von Lengefeld (d. 1823), with whom he had at least one son, Carl Friedrich Ernst von Helmolt (d. 1804).
In June 1768, von Helmolt accompanied the hereditary prince Ernst and his younger brother August on a journey to London, where they stayed in lodgings on Suffolk Street..1
After just one day in Gotha, Boswell, on October 17, 1764, wrote in his journal that he was "allready well with Chambellan Hellmolt a fine fellow like Lord Cassilis".
