Life

He came from a family of miners and scholars in the Erzgebirge mountain town of Marienberg , whose roots can be traced back to Elterlein in the late Middle Ages .

After attending grammar school in the Saxon mountain town of Freiberg , Caspar Sigismund Schmid went to study law at the University of Leipzig . Since several members of his extensive family already held posts in the mining administration in the county of Mansfeld , he too went there and settled professionally in Eisleben.

He also worked as a mountain bailiff in the Eisleben mining authority as well as a tunnel administrator and inspector of the mountain monastery.

However, Schmid could not prevent an Oberbergvogt from being put in front of him.
