Andreas von Rauchbar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas von Rauchbar (* 1559 in Quedlinburg ; † September 12, 1602 ibid) was a German legal scholar, later a privy councilor and vice chancellor of the Electorate of Saxony, and heir to Hemsendorf .

Life

His parents were the monastery secretary Georg Rauchbar and his wife Walpurgis Gerhard. His father came from Obernbreit and was a diocese notary in Würzburg. Rauchbar enrolled at the University of Wittenberg in May 1578 under the rectorate of Joachim von Beust . He finished his law studies in 1585 with a doctorate in law. He then received an extraordinary professorship at the law faculty and moved to the court of the Saxon Elector as Vice Chancellor and Privy Councilor.

On January 16, 1589, the Elector's Court Councilor Andreas Rauchbar was enfeoffed by Elector Christian I of Saxony with Gut Hemsendorf in the Electoral Saxon office of Schweinitz . On February 15, 1585, Rauchbar married the daughter of the last landowner, Michael Teuber , Euphrosina, in Wittenberg , who inherited the Hemsendorf estate after her father's death. In 1592 this loan was renewed. After Rauchbar's death, his widow received a new feudal letter from Elector Christian II of Saxony on August 18, 1603 . Their sons Andreas and Georg sold the Hemsendorf estate to the commandant of the fortress Wittenberg , who was enfeoffed with it in 1652.

Genealogically it should be noted that Rauchbar married Euprosina, the daughter of Michael Teuber, on February 15, 1585. The daughter Catharina (* 1589 in Dresden; † March 23, 1601 in Wittenberg) and Michael Rauchbar are known from this connection. One of his descendants was Carl Gottfried von Rauchbar, Count of Waldeck's chancellery and Herr auf Lengefeld, who counted Otto Heinrich Becker from 1710 to 1713 because of a funeral poem against the Pietists. Waldeck's Land Consistorial Council and Chancellery got into such widespread disputes that as a result several had to leave the country and theological faculties clashed over it in their writings.
