Georg Philipp Mylius

Georg Philipp August Mylius (born December 2, 1696 in Heilbronn ; † April 22, 1781 ibid) was Mayor of Heilbronn from 1758 to 1781 .

Life

Mylius came from an old Hessian family who came to Heilbronn with Ludwig Mylius in 1675. Ludwig Mylius became a city ​​doctor and in 1694 council member in Heilbronn. The son Georg Philipp August Mylius, born in 1696, came from his second marriage to Maria Magdalena Mockel.

Georg attended the Heilbronn high school and enrolled on June 28, 1713 at the University of Gießen to study law , which he completed at the University of Marburg . He then worked temporarily for an uncle in Frankfurt am Main before he was appointed to the Heilbronn City Court in 1727. From August 19, 1732 he was a member of the small, inner council ("von den burgern") and in 1741 was tax master . On July 13, 1757 he became the third mayor of Heilbronn. In 1766 he moved to the second position of mayor and was enfeoffed by Emperor Joseph II with various municipal fiefs ( Flein , Altböckingen , Vogtei, Lad- and Eichamt and Fischwasser). After the death of Georg Heinrich Orth, he took up the post of first mayor in 1770. Most of his term of office falls after the Treaty of Hubertusburg in 1763 , which is considered to be the heyday of the imperial city of Heilbronn over several decades. In February 1781 he resigned from office for reasons of age. Two months later he died after a brief illness and was buried in the cemetery on Weinsberger Strasse .

Georg Philipp Mylius was married to Maria Rehm (1710–1780) from 1736 and had nine children, seven of whom died at a young age.
