Christian Nettelbladt (the elder)
Christian Nettelbladt (born October 2, 1696 in Stockholm , † August 12, 1775 in Wetzlar ) was a German lawyer. Along with Hermann Heinrich von Engelbrecht and Augustin von Balthasar, he was one of the most important Greifswald legal scholars of the 18th century and at the same time one of the first and most important representatives of an active Swedish cultural policy in Pomerania , which he promoted through his periodical "Swedish Library". From 1743 he then worked as an assessor at the Reich Chamber of Commerce .
origin
His parents were the German businessman Kaspar Nettelbladt (1658-1726) and his wife Anna Dorothea Brandenburg (1652-1732). His father bought the iron factory in Orsa (province of Kopparberg) in 1685, and he also held shares in several mines and ships. He was also politically active, so in 1713 he became a member of the mediation commission of the bourgeoisie, which negotiated with the three estates of the Swedish Reichstag. In 1720 he became a member of the bourgeoisie in the Swedish Reichstag and also a member of the secret and defense committees. His mother Anna Dorothea Brandenburg was a daughter of the Stralsund council relative Baltzar Brandenburg and Dorothea Buchow . His brother Balthasar (Baltzar) (1691–1769), like his father, was a merchant and shipowner.
Life
In 1714 he finished the German school in Stockholm and went to Uppsala University to study theology. After only two months, however, he switched to the University of Rostock and began studying law there. Via Jena , Nettelbladt went to Halle to Christian Thomasius , Johann Peter von Ludewig , Nikolaus Hieronymus Gundling and Justus Henning Böhmer . The father suffered heavy financial losses due to the Northern War , so that Christian had to return.
He joined a Swedish embassy as chancellor, which was seconded to Braunschweig in July 1720 for the forthcoming peace congress. From there he moved to Hamburg. In 1724, Nettelbladt was appointed by the king (against the will of the faculty) as a full professor of law in Greifswald. Before taking office, he went to the University of Groningen to do a doctorate. After visiting some cities in Holland, he came to Greifswald at the end of the year.
Nettelbladt had been a member of the Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala since 1729 . In 1734 he was appointed assessor of the Greifswald Consistory and he became Professor Primarius of the Faculty of Law. In 1736 he was appointed director of the consistory.
In 1743 Nettelbladt became an assessor at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar . It was important for Sweden to fill this position with a good lawyer who would serve for a long time. Therefore, later applications by Nettelbladt for Swedish positions were unsuccessful. On January 22, 1746 he was raised to the imperial nobility with the nobility title "von Nettelbla". In 1751 he received the Knight's Cross of the Swedish North Star Order . On May 4, 1762, Nettelbladt was included in the registers of the imperial barons.
On April 22, 1774, he was dismissed from the Reich Chamber Court search for corruption . A year later he died frail and financially ruined.
family
His first wife was NN Papke , a sister of Professor Jeremias Papke . The couple remained without children. In 1742 he married Maria Amalia Lütkemann , a daughter of the general superintendent Timotheus Lütkemann (1680-1738). This marriage comes from the Rostock office director Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Nettelbladt (1749-1818), his grandson was the lawyer and Freemason Christian Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Nettelbladt (1779-1843).
