Otto Didrik Schack, Count of Schackenborg (19 March 1710 – 7 October 1741) was a Danish nobleman and enfeoffed count (Danish: lensgreve). He was the third holder of the County of Schackenborg from 1719 to 1741.
Otto Didrik Schack was born on 19 March 1710 at Gram Castle in Gram in the Duchy of Schleswig. Born into the noble family of Schack, he was the fifth child and eldest surviving son of the Danish nobleman and civil servantHans Schack, and his first wife Anna Margrethe Reventlow.[1]
At the early death of his father on 22 September 1719, he inherited the County of Schackenborg and assumed the title of enfeoffed count.[1] Due to his young age, his stepmother dowager countess Anna Sophie Schack assumed the position as county administrator of Schackenborg and became manager of her late husband's estate as guardian of her stepson.[2] In 1725, Count Schack was made a chamberlain at the Danish court, and in 1735 he was appointed assessor. On 27 November the following year, he was awarded the Order of the Dannebrog.[1]
Count Schack died already on 7 October 1741, aged only 31, in Ballum in the Kingdom of Denmark.[1] He was succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Hans Schack.
