from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Albrecht Jhering (born June 15, 1779 in Aurich , † November 14, 1825 Ibid) was an East Frisian lawyer, first secretary of the East Frisian landscape and director of the mill brand society in Aurich .

Life

Jhering comes from an old family of lawyers. His father Caspar Rudolph Jhering (* January 12, 1740; † May 12, 1809) was a royal Prussian lawyer and notary who founded the mill brand society. The mother Adelheid Katharina Bacmeister (born August 15, 1745; † August 14, 1785) was a daughter of the government councilor Georg Albrecht Bacmeister (1702–1785) from Aurich and mother sister of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher's wife .

Jhering began his training at the Ulricianum grammar school in Aurich. There he was noticed by Director Hecht , who continued to promote him. So he was able to start studying at the University of Erlangen as early as Easter 1796 , where he joined the Erlangen Westphalia. He graduated there after just two years. Afterwards his father wanted to send him on a trip through Germany; but he preferred to go to Weimar for six months , where he got to know life there. In 1799 he returned to East Frisia .

He became a calculator and assistant secretary at the East Frisian estates and worked there under Tileman Dothias Wiarda . From 1804 to 1811 he was also a trainee lawyer at the Aurich District Court . He realized that his father had speculated about the administration of Jheringsfehn and took over the administration from his father, which he was able to continue very successfully from then on. His measures included the expansion of the Fehn canals between 1804 and 1819, which enabled the peat to be marketed more quickly. Its success was reflected in the population development of Jheringsfehn: In 1788 there were still 133 inhabitants, in 1813 there were 398. The place even got a windmill during its administration.

With the lost war of 1806 there was great upheaval in Prussian East Frisia. The land was added to the Kingdom of Holland and the Dutch tax system was introduced. Since no one spoke Dutch , he set about translating the laws and published his treatise Brief Overview of All Taxes Existing in the Kingdom of Holland (Aurich, 1808, p. 272). He received his doctorate with the dissertation at the Law Faculty of the University of Erlangen Dr. jur. In 1809 he became director of the inheritance tax department in East Frisia. After the death of his father, he was elected director of the mill brand society in 1809. In 1810 he was also accountant of the fire fund for town and country .

When Ostfriesland became French, he was proposed as President of the canton of Aurich , which he refused and instead became President of the canton of Timmel , to which Jheringsfehn also belonged. He was a skilful administrator and, despite the turmoil, was even able to generate a return for the mill company. In 1813, East Frisia was first returned to Prussia . The tribunals and magistrates' courts were re-established and Jhering was appointed judicial commissioner. When East Frisia came to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1815 , he became an auditor of the body cuirassier regiment. After the estates were reconstituted in 1819, he became the first secretary of the East Frisian landscape and successor to Wiarda. In addition, the landscape elected him in 1820 as a representative in the general assembly of the Kingdom of Hanover .

When he returned from Hanover in May 1825, he fell seriously ill. On November 13, 1825, he also suffered a stroke and died the next day.
