Georg Seiblin , also Seyblin or Seublin (born October 9, 1529 , † August 18, 1591 ) was a lawyer and diplomat in the service of the Duchy of Worms .

Live and act

Georg Seiblin studied law and acquired the title of doctor in both rights (ecclesiastical and secular law) at the age of 23 . Presumably he is identical to that Georg Seublin from Vaihingen an der Enz , who enrolled at the University of Tübingen on May 21, 1541 - together with his brother Philipp, who later appears as Procurator at the Imperial Court of Justice - and received his Baccalaureus degree in September 1542 . Soon after his doctorate he was promoted to Chancellor of the Worms Monastery and remained in this position for 35 years. In addition, the Elector of Mainz appointed him his council . Seiblin represented his episcopal lords Dietrich von Bettendorf († 1580) and Georg von Schönenberg († 1595) on many occasions, including a. as envoy to the Reichstag in Augsburg , 1566 as well as 1582 and 1583 during a visit to the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Speyer .

For his services to the bishopric, Bishop Dietrich von Bettendorf awarded him various smaller hereditary fiefs , such as a farm with accessories near the fountain in Neuleiningen , a share in the church property in Wintersheim , Korn and Weingülten in Sausenheim , a monetary benefit in Grünstadt , the Montforter Meadows between Neuleiningen and Altleiningen , as well as an estate with a tenth share in Böhl , after which the family later referred to themselves as Seiblin von Böhl .

Seiblin was married to Anna geb. Fauth and they had several children. Georg Dietrich, doctor of both rights, and Karl, licentiate in both rights, also worked as lawyers. The former later acted as the syndic of the Speyer Cathedral Foundation and assessor (judge) at the Imperial Court of Justice, the latter as the local tax office (public prosecutor). The son Daniel acquired the title of a Magister artium and also went to the Reichskammergericht as an attorney or procurator ; he built a house in Berghausen . According to the sons' university registers, the family originally lived in Ladenburg . The daughter Anna married Philipp Christoph Simonis, Pfennigmeister at the Imperial Court of Justice , son of Philipp Simonis († 1587), notary and secretary of the Speyer Cathedral .

Georg Seiblin died in 1591 and received an epitaph in the cloister of Worms Cathedral, which was destroyed in 1689 . This was lost, but its inscription is handed down in Volume 2 of the “ Thesaurus Palatinus ” by Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg († 1752). There it says u. a. that he had provided the Worms Chancellery “for 35 years with the highest level of commitment, integrity, perseverance, agility and wisdom, at the same time he had been of advice to the Archbishop and Elector of Mainz for 11 years and, in these extremely feverish times, from his grief the declining fatherland extraordinarily agitated and tired, finally exhausted from the constant efforts endured for the community and from old age, had died Catholic in the creed that he sincerely cultivated to the last sigh of life.
