Life

Christian Georg Wagner was the son of the tax collector Johann Christian Wagner (* unknown; † January 8, 1770) and his wife Marie Rosine, b. Hernst (* 1723 - † November 5, 1807). He still had three brothers:

• Johann Gottfried Wagner (* 1744; † unknown), archdeacon in Saalfeld ;
• Johann Christian Wagner (born June 23, 1747 in Pößneck; † June 14, 1825 in Hildburghausen ), Privy Councilor and President of the Consistory in Hildburghausen, he was regional government director in Hildburghausen in 1810.
• Wilhelm Christian Wagner, lawyer and tax adviser in Pößneck.

He attended the city school in Pößneck with the rector Trautschold and at the age of fifteen came in 1777 to the Lyceum in Saalfeld, which was directed by the rector Wilhelm Christian Oettel and the vice rector Matthäus Wilhelm Windorf .

On February 12, 1782, he began to study law at the University of Jena and switched to the University of Leipzig on May 18, 1785 to continue his studies there. After his exams and a disputation held under Professor August Friedrich Schott , he received the best possible grade Omnino et prae caeteris digmus from the law faculty of the University of Leipzig and was thus qualified to practice law in the Electorate of Saxony . He was accepted as a public notary at the Leipzig Faculty of Law on January 22, 1787.

The Secret Chancellery in Saalfeld granted him permission to practice advocacy in the ducal-Saxon Coburg-Saalfeld lands , waiving the otherwise common tentamen (preliminary examination) ; at the same time he received the title of ducal court advocate and was committed as such on April 21, 1787. Shortly after starting his career in Pößneck, he was given the position of court clerk in Nimritz with Rehmen near Pößneck, and in Schlettwein with Tranrode. In addition, the neighboring nobility transferred several foreign legal transactions to him.

The Duke Friedrich von Sachsen-Hildburghausen appointed him councilor of justice ; this honorary certificate was later confirmed by Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha as well as by Duke Bernhard II in Meiningen.

On August 10, 1810, he was given the management of the communal courts belonging to several manor owners in Ranis in the later royal Prussian district in the district of Ziegenrück , although he remained in Pößneck. After being asked to move his residence to Prussian territory, he returned the order and resigned from the judge's position in Ranis, whereupon he was appointed second judicial officer in Saalfeld and instructed on November 2, 1819. After the death of the first official there, Hofrat Dr. Friedrich Ernst Carl Mereau , he moved to the open position in 1825.

With the reorganization of Meining's authorities and the separation of the judiciary from the administration, he was appointed district and city court conductor in Saalfeld on July 1, 1829 and remained in this position until December 1, 1831, then he was, while maintaining the entire salary, released into retirement.

After his mother's death, on October 25, 1808, he married Friederike, the eldest daughter of superintendent Wilhelm Christian Oettel in Saalfeld, who was his former teacher; the marriage remained childless.
