Life

The Pancug family is originally from Hatting, County Mark . Your name will also Pfannkuch or Pfankuch written. The family's coat of arms shows a gold-colored, crowned lion standing on a green mountain of three and about to jump. Hermann Pfankuch, a relative of the Heilbronn pancugs, received knightly imperial nobility from Emperor Ferdinand II on February 6, 1623. The progenitor of the Heilbronn line is Georg Pancug , who was employed as a syndic in Wimpfen in 1612 . His son Georg Heinrich (later Countess Löwenstein-Wertheimsch chancellery director) married Susanna Catharina Imlin in Wimpfen in 1652. The son Georg Friedrich arose from this marriage. The father Georg Heinrich Pancug died in 1672, afterwards his widow married the Heilbronn pastor Johann Bernhard Zehe.

Georg Friedrich attended high school in Wimpfen and studied law at the University of Strasbourg from 1673 to 1680 . From 1682 he was counselor in Heilbronn. From 1684 he was a member of the small, inner council ( "von den burgern" ), was mayor from 1684 , tax master from 1691 and in 1698 as the successor of the late Johann Georg Pfitzer, third mayor of the imperial city. After the death of Johann David Feyerabend in 1716 he advanced to the office of second mayor, in 1726 after the death of Johann Esaias von Rühle to the office of first mayor.

His tenure as a council initially fell during the War of the Palatinate Succession with repeated incursions by French troops into the area around Heilbronn. In 1688 the French army wanted to take Georg Friedrich Pancug hostage during the siege of Heilbronn; but he was able to escape. Significant events from his tenure as mayor have not been handed down. In his final years in office he was plagued by old age diseases. He was buried in the cemetery on Weinsberger Strasse .

Pancug married Maria Magdalena Rockenbauch in 1682, a daughter of the mayor Johann Conrad Rockenbauch . After her death in 1707 he married Anna Rosina Köhler (née Kast von Kreßbach). The first marriage had six children, five of whom died early. Only the son Georg Conrad Pancug (1686–1754), who was married to Maria Christina Rollwag from 1713 and also belonged to the Heilbronn council, survived the parents. Georg Conrad's son Georg Heinrich von Pancug later also became mayor of Heilbronn.
