Andreas sweet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Süße , also Andreas Süß , (baptized February 10, 1642 in Graslitz ; † October 15, 1705 ) was a royal Polish and electoral Saxon chief miner .

Life

He was the son of Michael and Ursula Süße from Graslitz in the Kingdom of Bohemia and was baptized Protestant on February 10, 1642 in the town church there. He got his first name from his godfather, the board cutter Andreas Popp.

As an exile , he had to leave Bohemia because of his Protestant denomination. In 1680 he first settled as a miner in the mining town of Schneeberg in the Saxon Ore Mountains , but soon turned to Freiberg , where he took over the office of miner in 1687 after the death of Michael Zimmermann .

In September 1702, Süße received the appointment of chief miner for the Upper Ore Mountains by the royal Polish and electoral Saxon mining commissioner Balthasar Lehmann. As such, he was subordinate to the chief miner Abraham von Schönberg in the chief mining authority .

Sweet was a member of Bergknapp- and -brüderschaft in Freiberg, where he with cutlass and gilded mountain Häckel led the first company in uphill trains.

His son Johann Andreas Süße helped him early on in mining matters and soon became his substitute and deputy miner in Freiberg. As such, he took part in an investigation into the mines in Klingenthal in Vogtland . After his father's death on October 15, 1705, Johann Andreas Süße took over the post of chief miner in Freiberg. In 1709 he was relieved of this position as a representative of the old days, but received not inconsiderable financial compensation. Johann Andreas Süße was also the landlord in Erbisdorf as well as being a monk-free and in 1710 acquired the Harras inheritance from the widow of the deceased Colonel von Bünau in the office of Heldrungen of the Principality of Saxony-Weißenfels , which he initially used as a financial investment and pledged it for a large sum for twelve years already sold to the lessee in 1716. In 1712, Johann Andreas Süße supported the Saxon organ builder Silbermann in Erbisdorf by providing oak boards for organ building .
