Waldemar Conrad von Zedtwitz

Waldemar was denied his inheritance, while in Trust, when it was confiscated during World War I. The land (537 acres) became Louisville, Kentucky's 1st airport, Bowman Field, and Seneca Golf Course.

Following his mother's death, he inherited the family property that had been owned by William S. Caldwell.

But he became involved in litigation because he was a German citizen and had served in the German army during World War I, and the property was seized by the government. Most of it was restored to him, but in 1928 the eastern estate property was purchased by the city and became Bowman Field and Seneca Park.

Story in Courier-Journal, 9/18/2015, Martha Elson

Waldemar came to New York City around 1930, became a naturalized American citizen, and remained there 47 years. In 1932 he was president of the American Bridge League, one of the organizations whose merger established the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) in 1937. The ACBL credits him with saving it by his emergency service as president in 1948 and 1949.[8] He was a founder of the World Bridge Federation.
