Georg Leopold Hoyer
Georg Leopold Hoyer (born November 15, 1703 in Mühlhausen ; † May 14, 1765 ibid) was a German lawyer and doctor of both rights . He set up a family foundation, which was dissolved by the Hoyer family in 1950.
family
Georg Leopold Hoyer came from the long-established Mühlhausen scholar family Hoyer. His father Johann Georg Hoyer was a city physician in Mühlhausen, councilor in Langensalza and a member of the Leopoldina . His mother was Maria Tauschmann, daughter of a senator from Langensalza . His paternal grandparents were Georg Christoph Hoyer and Barbara Justina Heydenreich. He was married to his wife Sabine, née Tilesius. This marriage remained happy but childless.
Life
In Mühlhausen he received his first private tuition and then went to high school in Weißenfels . He then studied law at Martin Luther University , where he received his doctorate and on August 13, 1732 his doctorate in both rights. Following his studies, Georg Leopold Hoyer worked as a lawyer in Mühlhausen. Furthermore he was councilor and Semner of the city.
On June 10, 1735 he was admitted to the Imperial Leopoldine-Carolinian Academy of Natural Scientists as a member ( matriculation no. 448 ) with the nickname Apollodorus II .
Foundation, endowment
In 1759 he set up the Hoyersche Family Foundation, which was revived in his will after his death in 1765. This family foundation included scholarships , scientific curiosities , furniture, real estate and country estates as well as an extensive library, which can be viewed (reduced in inventory) in the city archive in Mühlhausen. This foundation was dissolved by the family in 1950. The last house owned was demolished in 1975.
coat of arms
The family coat of arms can still be found on a house wall in Hoyergasse in Mühlhausen. The family name can be traced back to Hermann von Heyger (after which the family subsequently named itself in Hoyer ).
As early as 1765, the Hoyer family coat of arms was evidently named as follows: " Just like the gray antiquity in a more than three hundred year old Hoyer coat of arms adorned with a lily and two stars, together with a crowned open helmet, which reveals the sincerity and characteristics of a virtuous family ." the original family coat of arms is in the Mühlhausen coat of arms book.
