Hans Georg Pöhner
Hans Georg Pöhner (baptized April 18, 1657 in Neudek ; buried January 13, 1738 there ) was councilor and mayor of Neudek and founder of the Trinity and Plague column there .
Life
Hans Georg Pöhner came from the respected Neudeker bourgeois family Pöhner. Traditionally they practiced the butcher's trade in the little town for generations. He was the son of the citizen and butcher Georg Pöhner (1625–1693) and his first wife Regina nee. Pleyer (1628–1664), daughter of the sheet metal master Melchior Pleyer. The family originally came from Plauen in Vogtland and was recorded in Platten and then in Neudek at the end of the 16th century .
Hans Georg Pöhner also learned the profession of meat chopper. In 1681 he married Elisabeth Weinel (1662–1729), the youngest daughter of the mayor Georg Weinel. Pöhner was a member of the council and held the office of mayor several times in his life, for example in 1707 together with Johann Stöckner. Neudek has been plagued by war, famine and plague epidemics several times in its history. It is possible that he donated a Trinity or Plague column to his city in 1715 on this occasion. Before that, it stood in the center of the city at the Hotel Post and was moved to its current location next to the dean church of St. Martin in 1924 . Pöhner died in 1738 at the age of 83 and survived his wife and possibly his son of the same name.
