Life

Leopold Hackelmann was born as the son of the businessman Johann Hakelmann and his wife Gertraud Schene. After attending school in Stade , he switched to the school in Lüneburg , where his training was supervised by Lucas Lossius . At the age of 21 he moved to the University of Helmstedt , where he completed a degree in philosophy. Dedicated to law, he went to the University of Leipzig and in the summer semester of 1587 to the University of Jena . On September 23, 1591, he received his doctorate in law in Jena , and in 1594 was promoted to extraordinary professor at the Jena Faculty of Law. After Daniel Eulenbeck's death in 1596, he became a full professor, in which capacity, as rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semester of 1598 , he also took part in the university's organizational tasks.

Then he was appointed to the archiepiscopal council in Magdeburg . In 1604, the cathedral chapter of Magdeburg initially prevented Hackelmann from changing as councilor to the electoral court of Christian II in Dresden . It was not until 1612 that the Elector Johann Georg I succeeded in winning Leopold Hackelmann as a full professor for the University of Leipzig and as an assessor at the Upper Court in Leipzig. With the appointment of Duke Johann Philipp von Sachsen-Altenburg as rector of the University of Leipzig in 1613 Hackelmann became prorector of the university . In 1618 he became Decemvir and received the university canon in Merseburg . A year before his death he suffered from malaria, from which he recovered to some extent. Although his health was weakened, he was still able to carry out his activities at the reading business and at the court. However, when his health was again damaged, he suffered a stroke, whereupon his right arm and foot were paralyzed and he died a few days later.

Leopold Hackelmann was a renowned legal scholar of his time, in particular he worked for the ore monastery of Magdeburg. Many of his writings are still preserved.

Hackelmann married Margaretha Pensold (born November 19, 1569 in Meissen, † April 22, 1613 in Leipzig) on ​​September 13, 1591 in Jena, the daughter of Jena professor Mag. Friedrich Pensold († 1589) and his wife Anna Pestel, the widow of Heinrich Schneidewind († 1590). There are six children from the marriage, of which one son and two daughters survived the father.
