Diary writer

Hans im Thurn-Peyer, who started his diary at the age of fourteen, wrote at the beginning: Our new house, the Oberhoff zu Theyngen, was established on August 3rd, 1593 and, thank God, left happily . (The round stair tower was probably built in 1604). The further expansion took place in 1615, he writes: I had the construction and kick-off at Kerhals zu Thayngen on my house in Oberhof carried out this spring. If the 19th of Merz started and the 20th of April the Tachstuhl was added, so that we can already live in the new room in August, then we will be in Thayngen from 20th Merz to 9th November . He goes on to describe how, at the age of fifteen, he and his brother Friedrich go to the university in Strasbourg, where he then studies for two years, and how they live and eat with their fellow countryman, the watchmaker Isaak Habrecht , and attend lectures. But the following year, his brother is killed in a duel. After completing his studies, he returned home to Thayngen and helped his father in viticulture and agriculture. In 1599 he went on a five-month trip to Italy with his brother-in-law. He then began his official career in the city law firm. He is primarily concerned with his own viticulture, and climbs the steps of the offices, on October 6, 1618 he reports: I was elected as Vogt of the Reich (presiding over the Maleficent Court), and I was terrified of this choice and hadn't made it up , especially because at the same time I am gsyn with my housekeeping in Thayngen in autumn.

The following year: I was elected city judge and now I have to seriously ask God for his spirit and grace, because such a difficult office was not soon entrusted to such young people. He was just 40 years old. Then he was elected to the Small Council, which actually formed the government, and after the death of Mayor Goßweiler, he was promoted to Mayor of Schaffhausen at the age of 53. The varied tasks, including as envoy in the Bernese Underthonen Rebellion , do not allow him to forget the local business, he describes the grape harvests and the weather in detail. Like his father, he looks after his fellow citizens and subjects. He died two months before the peace of Westphalia that he longed for . Shortly afterwards his wife followed him, they are immortalized in the cloister of the All Saints monastery with an epitaph , together with five others from the family.
