HCR diary 8.6.1826 at Aders "Beuthe, a finance minister, who has the air of a superior man - Schenkel the architect to the King of Prussia - also apparently a very superior man and a Col. Dunkelman -insignificant"

In Schinkel's English Journey ed. Bindman and Riemann, Schinkel referred often to Count Dancklemann, who was travelling with him and Beuth. In Glasgow they also met a Herr Dancklemann.
