Family: Adolph von Voss was born on 15. April 1788 in Diepholz as the eldest son of Karl August Friedrich von Voß (1750-1820), chief huntsman in Diepholz, Lord of Münte and Falkenhardt, and Albertine Luise, b. by Hugo (1757–1825), born. In 1819 he married Albertine, b. by Bothmer (1794–1829). With her he had two children, Albertine Louise Agnes (1820-1879) and Albert Carl August (1829-1871). After his first wife died in 1829, in 1831 he married Amalie Luise Henriette, b. von Cramm (1799-1875), who in turn had a daughter and a son, Louise Auguste Albertine Wilhelmine (1833-1861) and Ernst Friedrich Julius (* 1835). The economic and political basis of the family was the above-mentioned property in or. near Diepholz and the manor Fuldenriede south of Syke.

Life: From 1806 Voss studied law at the universities of Göttingen and Rostock. In 1807 he interrupted his studies when he accompanied his father to the island of Zealand in Denmark, who wanted to become a supplier to the English blockading fleet off Copenhagen during the naval battle of Copenhagen. After the city was bombarded in August and September 1807 and the English left, he and his brother fell into Danish captivity until Easter 1808. After his release to freedom, he continued his studies at the University of Kiel. At the end of 1808 he matriculated again at the University of Göttingen and was one of the founding members of the Corps Hannovera in 1809.

In April 1809 he left Göttingen with his Coatans Carl Jacobi and August Feder, among others, in an attempt to join an alleged uprising against the French foreign rule of Wilhelm von Dörnberg in Duisburg. He then returned to Göttingen for a short time, but left the city after the so-called gendarme affair. In October 1809 he matriculated together with his brother in Heidelberg and was a member of the loose association of Hanoverians.

Between 1812 and 1815 he took part in the wars of liberation. From 1820 he managed his estates: the Münte in Diepholz and north of it the Falkenhardt estate. He was also Drost in the Wohldenberg office near Marienburg. In 1821 he was appointed to succeed his father as a district administrator of the Hoyasche region, a position he held until his death. From 1831 he was chamber councilor of the monastery chamber in Hanoverd at the same time councilor of the domain chamber in Hanover. From 1839 to 1848 he was director of the Hanoverian domain chamber and 1844 to 1848 general director of the Hanover hydraulic engineering. Due to his office, he was a member of the Hanover State Council from 1841 to 1848 and from 1856 to 1858 due to a royal appointment. In addition to his 37-year activity in the provincial landscape of County Hoya, he also belonged to the General Assembly of Estates for a number of years, to which he first belonged between 1834 and 1840 as a deputy for the knightly and the free landowners of the counties of Hoya and Diepholz moved into the first chamber, to which he then belonged until 1848 due to his official position as chamber director.
