Upon the death of the childless Charles Frederick Albert, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1762, his estate reverted to the crown. After the Treaty of Hubertusburg, Frederick II granted these fortunes to the two officers for whom he had particular personal gratitude: Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz received the estate of ; and Joachim Bernhard von Prittwitz, who had escorted the king to safety from the battlefield at the Kunersdorf, received the estate at Quilitz (present-day Kwielice). Theodor Fontane gave this circumstance a special mention, writing: "Lestwitz a sauvé l'etat, Prittwitz a sauvé le roi." (Lestwitz saved the state, Prittwitz saved the king.") The staff officers of the Lestwitz regiment received a golden medal.
