Gottfried Seybold

Gottfried Seybold

Christian Gottfried Seybold (born January 25, 1757 in Brackenheim , † September 24, 1816 in Nordheim ) was the clerk for the communities of Dürrenzimmern , Nordheim , Nordhausen and Großgartach . By settling in Nordheim in 1782, he established the property of the Seybold / von Marval family there, who later came into the possession of the Nordheim community and the von Marval'schen family foundation through his great-great-grandson Kurt von Marval (1888–1980) and the figure the community to this day.

Life

He was a son of the Brackenheim town clerk David Christoph Seybold (1713–1775) and his second wife Christina Elisabeth, née. Jenisch. He had three brothers, including the theologian David Christoph Seybold (1747–1804) and the lawyer Josef Johann Friedrich Seybold (1749–1814), as well as an older sister from his father's first marriage to Johanna Maria, geb. Thill.

Gottfried attended the Brackenheim Latin School and was appointed as a clerk at a young age in 1781. Due to the territorial fragmentation, he was not only responsible for the Württemberg communities of Dürrenzimmern, Nordheim and Nordhausen, but also for the Großgartach located outside of Württemberg, which only belonged to a quarter of Württemberg, but where the high jurisdiction also lay with the Württemberg Obervogt in Brackenheim. In 1782 he married Susanne Herrlinger (1763–1834), who came from an old Nordheim family and had already received land and property from the inheritance of her mother, who died young. The couple settled in Nordheim in 1782 and purchased an agricultural property on today's Nordheim market square (which was only created as such after a major fire in 1810). This estate formed the nucleus of the later Hofgut, which had grown to over 100 acres, on which today's town hall, the building yard and the Nordheimer Rathauspark were built. The couple subsequently acquired numerous other properties, mainly from emigrants. The marriage had nine children, four of whom died early. The father gave his only son, Wilhelm Seybold (1799–1874), to the boarding school of the Waldensian pastor Mulot in Nordhausen and with this French-speaking education laid the foundation for his entrepreneurial activities in Antwerp and France. After the major fire of 1810, Seybold acquired another property on Entengasse , where the fire had destroyed five buildings and created open spaces. The Seybold Foundation's toddler school, which later became Nordheim's Protestant kindergarten, was built on this property in 1867. Seybold died in Nordheim in 1816. His widow and his son, who is now working abroad, acquired additional properties in Nordheim after his death. After the widow's death in 1834, there were protracted disputes over the extensive property inheritance. Above all, the Wittumgut belonging to the municipality , which Seybold had only leased, became the subject of lengthy legal proceedings. The community auctioned a third of the estate in March 1835, which initially brought it to Adam von Olnhausen . He sold it in 1840 to the farmer Christoph Ziegler from Mundelsheim, from whom Wilhelm Seybold bought it back in 1846.
