Balthasar Gloxin (born January 10, 1601 in Burg auf Fehmarn , † August 1, 1654 in Schleswig ) was a German lawyer and ducal councilor.

Life

Balthasar Gloxin was one of the sons of the city secretary and later mayor David Gloxin in Burg on Fehmarn. The later mayor of Lübeck, David Gloxin , of the same name, was an older brother.

Gloxin attended the Princely School Joachimsthal with his brother David and then the Katharineum in Lübeck . They then studied law from 1617 at the universities of Wittenberg and Rostock . In 1624 they parted ways. Balthasar entered the service of Lübeck's bishop Johann Friedrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf as the Holstein chancellery , while David received his doctorate in law and went on a grand tour through Europe as the court master of two noble young men . In 1626 Balthasar re-enrolled at the University of Strasbourg and in 1633 disputed at the University of Rostock.

David, who had become canon in Lübeck in 1636 , ceded his preamble to Balthasar in 1642 , who bequeathed it to his son Friedrich Hans (1635–1684), as he was ducal councilor. Balthasar Gloxin was married to Margarete Gloxin geb. Jügert , daughter of the Gottorf court councilor Peter Jügert (1567–1639).

Epitaph Gloxin in Schleswig

In 1653 Gloxin bought the grave slab of the first Lutheran bishop of Schleswig Tilemann von Hussen , who was buried in front of the pulpit in Schleswig Cathedral , for a second use . This double-figure grave slab is described but not preserved. In addition to the two figures, it showed the Jügert family coat of arms with fish trap and otter with fish in its mouth and was still there in the 1880s. However, Hussen's simple Reformation epitaph as well as Gloxin's baroque epitaph and the two portraits of the Gloxin couple have been preserved in this church . Gloxin's wife Margarethe is still represented three times in various places in the Schleswig Cathedral: as a child on the epitaph of her parents Jügert from 1645, in the portrait as a wife and on the epitaph of her husband as a grieving widow.
