Life

family

Christoph Scheurl von Defersdorf in Heuchling came from an old noble family from Nuremberg, the Scheurl von Defersdorf family .

A century before the birth of Christoph Scheurl von Defersdorf , Albrecht Scheurl VI. In 1566 , he bought Gut Defersdorf , three hours from Nuremberg in the direction of Lichtenau , from which Gabriel Scheurl turned it into a family entrenchment. This turned Christoph Wilhelm I , vorderster Losungs-bailiff in 1687, in a formal Majorat transformed and multiplied this with many nearby subjects and pieces.

Sebastian Scheurl († 1652 without male descendants) had previously acquired the Heuchling manor near Lauf an der Pegnitz and then also made it a family entrepre- neurship - although his descendants are said to have died out in 1739.

Career

During the lifetime of the legal scholar Christoph Scheurl von Defersdorf in Heuchling , who was council consultant for Nuremberg and councilor of the Prince of Schwarzenberg, the family in Nuremberg became “advisable”.
