Enoch Pöckel (born October 19, 1578 in Leipzig ; † March 30, 1627 ibid) was a council member and council builder in Leipzig and Hammerherr in the Ore Mountains .

Life

The son of the Leipzig lawyer Enoch Pöckel married Maria Siegel in 1602, daughter of the Mittweidaer Hammerherren and citizen of Schneeberg Matthäus Siegel. Maria Pöckel died on December 9th, 1606. He had three children with her. Her daughter Rosina (1603–1656) married the trader Heinrich von Ryssel from Leipzig in 1624 and was married to Matthes Nietzsche for the second time. Enoch Pöckel d. J. studied law at the University of Leipzig and Christian Pöckel learned the trade of a businessman from councilor and judge Jacob Sehling in Schneeberg.

Through inheritance, his three minor children from his first marriage in 1608 came into possession of his father-in-law's hammer mill and property, which is still known today as the Pöckelgut . Enoch Pöckel managed the property of his children and introduced some technical innovations, such as the construction of a blast furnace on the Hammergut. In atonement of his father-in-law, in 1610 he donated the artfully carved pulpit of St. Barbara's Church in Markersbach , from which the inscription "Anno 1610 in memoriam Domini soceri Matthæi Siegel's pie defuncti erigi curavit gener Enoch Pöckel" proclaims. In 1612 he married Magdalena Badehorn from Bautzen in his second marriage . She gave him eight more children, including Johann Friedrich Pöckel , who held office as an official in the Delitzsch office until his death in 1649 .

Pöckel was a citizen and council member in Leipzig. He was appointed council architect in 1624. In this capacity he was responsible, among other things, for the construction of the Leipziger Ballhaus as a venue for Raquet in Reichsstraße.
