Georg Bernhard Stutzig

Georg Bernhard Stutzig short Bernard Stutzig (christened 11 May 1642 in Neudek ; buried 18th August 1711 ) was a Bohemian bailiff, bakers and lease Müller and rebel leaders in the North Bohemian peasant uprising of the 1680th

Life

Georg Bernhard Stutzig was born into a respected family in Neudek in the Ore Mountains . He was the son of the mayor and shift supervisor Georg Stutzig (1597–1648) and his wife Eva, the widow of the Czernin captain of Neudek Georg Putz († 1635). After the death of his father, his mother entered into another marriage with the mayor and imperial note taker Johann Friedrich († 1689) from Karlsbad . His half-brother was the imperial border customs collector and mountain tithe from Platten Johann Putz . His grandfather Christoph Stutzig (1572–1645) and his great-grandfather Georg Stutzig († 1611) already held the office of mayor or city judge in Neudek.

Stutzig learned the trade of baker and miller and became a citizen. He was a member of the council and a stately bailiff. When the riots spread to Neudek in the north Bohemian peasant uprising of 1680, Stutzig joined the rebellion. He was at the head of the insurgents. His brother-in-law Peter Elster , the tailor Hans Christoph Dürrschmidt and the tailor Georg Haussner are also named. According to tradition, Stutzig gave a long speech at the council, in which he tried to convince the council members of his point of view and made demands of the then administrator of the rule Peter Anton Müller, which he tried to fulfill.

With the entry of the military, Stutzig and the other leaders fled armed into the mountains across the border to Saxony, from where they refused to submit to any submission despite Count Humprecht's admonition to Johann Czernin . In September 1680 he was still in Saxony, where he supposedly adopted their religion. After his capture, Stutzig may have received the death penalty, but was pardoned. According to the imperial decree of April 7, 1680, Neudek had lost all city privileges for the time being and despite humble letters from the citizens, the citizenship was revoked. In the city books it is said that the bailiff Georg Bernhard Stutzig violently took the city privileges from the official table. Stutzig died in Neudek in 1711. His son Hans Georg was a lease miller in neighboring Platten.
