education

The father, who was an educated, prudent, and wealthy citizen, provided a purposeful upbringing. Sattig first attended school in Groß-Glogau and came to Breslau at Easter 1791 to the pension of the Glogau-born writer, philologist and philosopher of the German Late Enlightenment, Georg Gustav Fülleborn , who, in addition to his position as a deacon of the Lutheran Church, was professor of classical languages ​​at the Elisabeth- Gymnasium (Elisabethan) in Breslau was. At this school, Sattig received the certificate of maturity in 1794. After two years of legal studies at the University of Halle, he returned to Glogau and passed the Königl. Ober-Glogau office in the Auskulatorexamen and was as Inquirent (criminal investigation authority) in October 1797 after Fraustadt displaced, where he was appointed clerk 1799th

Professional activity as a judicial councilor and notary

In January 1800 he was appointed Justice Commissarius and Notarius publicus. Just four months later, he was also the official legal advisor of Priedemost, a part of the municipality of Groß-Glogau . Later he was appointed official justiciar of 22 villages near Glogau. When his father died in 1801, he moved into his father's house in Glogau. After the defeat of the Prussians against Napoleon in the battle of Jena and Auerstedt in October 1806, Napoleon occupied Berlin on October 27, 1806. In the Peace of Tilsit , Prussia lost half of its national territory and had to make high contributions . The Glogau fortress was occupied as a pledge. As a result of the unaffordable war contributions that the wealthy citizens of Glogau had to bear as a result of the French occupation, Cramer's father-in-law was forced to sell the Koben rule, with the loss of almost all of his fortune. His wife's significant fortune was also lost. His son-in-law Sattig lost 15,000 thalers as a result. Since the house in Glogau was overburdened with billeting and catering for officers, Sattig sold the house in 1808 and acquired the Ziebern manor in the rural community of Kuttlau near Glogau.

In 1807, his brother-in-law Heinrich Huldreich Peter von Béguelin left the civil service without pay because he felt that he was being put back by Minister Stein and he did not want to work for the French occupying power. He retired to Glogau, where he was accepted by the Sattig couple on their Ziebern estate. Conditions there were oppressive due to the French occupation and billeting, so that both families were confined to the poorest of rooms. During this time, Béguelin wrote down his "Memories". It was not until 1810 that he returned to the Prussian civil service at the request of the newly appointed State Chancellor Hardenberg.

Sattig had studied agriculture theoretically out of passion. After purchasing the Ziebern estate, he had the opportunity to work practically with the help of an experienced economist. This earned him a large number of mandates from landowners who lived far from their estates and who needed a trustworthy person to oversee them with knowledge, prudence and honesty. So in 1811 he took over the mandate of Gustav Graf von Schlabrendorf (1750-1824), who grew up near Glogau and now lives in Paris , son of the late Prussian minister for Silesia, Ernst Wilhelm von Schlabrendorf (1719-1769).

The father was friends with Sattig's father-in-law, so the families knew each other well. The count had a considerable fortune from his father, including a. the rule of Kolzig , inherited. Schlabrendorf was an eccentric, cosmopolitan , political writer, enlightener , Freemason, sympathizer and later critic of the French Revolution . He wrote a critical work on Napoléon Bonaparte . After the liberation wars for liberation from the French occupation broke out in 1813 , he authorized his general representative Sattig to transfer 10,000 thaler immediately to the Prussian state treasury in Breslau.

The count's goods were sequestered by the state . The count hardly cared about his wealth in Germany, lived in modest circumstances and did not ask for the income to be paid out, so Sattig had to invest the income in capital. The count did not react to the accounts sent annually, so Sattig personally traveled to Paris in 1817 to get the eccentric to check the accounts and to relieve his agent. He died on August 21, 1824. There was so little cash that the Prussian embassy had to advance the funeral costs. A will from 1785 that was found was such that it was contested several times. Because of the inheritance dispute, the mandate did not end until 1838. Several other orders, e.g. B. for Evelina Antonia Theresia Josepha Countess v. Schlabrendorf (1809–1895), who in 1831 Maria Wilhelm Joseph Xaver Alois Graf v. Sickingen-Hohenburg (1777–1855) married to manage their manor Schweidnitz in Grünberg as well as for the barons of Tschammer and Quaritz on Quaritz for his manor, he successfully carried out until the end of his life.

In 1811, Sattig was appointed to the Glogau District Judiciary, but had to end his litigation. But he kept the notary's office. A large number of orders from the Königl. Higher Regional Court in Glogau and the Königl. He carried out the government in Liegnitz with complete satisfaction. For this he was awarded the Red Eagle Order, fourth class. At his own request, he resigned from civil service in 1839.

Activity for the city of Glogau

When the occupation of the Glogau fortress ended in 1815, the city of Glogau was in a very poor condition. The combing was completely shattered. Very high debts had accrued as the citizens had for years made supplies to satisfy the needs of the occupying power that had not been paid for. The citizens also had to make cash payments to the occupying power, for which the city had taken on the guarantee. The repair or rebuilding of the destroyed city buildings, such as B. the Vorwerke, bridges and brickworks, demanded daily expenses. The greatest evil, however, were the vacant buildings, since during the occupation the Royal Higher Regional Court and the Royal Government had been relocated to Liegnitz, which was not occupied by the French. At first, the city's requests for relocation were refused by the king himself. Then the city council decided to send a deputation to Berlin, which should point out the conditions in the city of Glogau. After initially nobody was ready to take on this time-consuming office, which promised little success, Sattig was approached by the head of the Weisbach city council. He declared himself ready to take over the presidency of this deputation for the good of his native city. The deputation went to Berlin with Kommerzienrat Strahl and the head of Weisbach in 1816 and within six weeks, by drastically describing the situation, was able to achieve that the Royal Higher Regional Court returned to Glogau and supported 12,000 Thalers from the Communal Excise Fund and an interest-free advance payment of 5,000 Thalers was granted to expand the brickworks. This led to a return of trust in the city administration, the houses again received tenants from the court staff and the treasury fresh staff. The municipality expressed its thanks to the rescuer from need with a feast, at which Sattig was presented with a gold-plated silver goblet and he received the diploma as an honorary citizen . He also received the title of city ​​elder . In 1818 he was elected city councilor, in whose assembly Sattig was an important member through his legal and economic knowledge until the end of 1824.
