Life

Hartwig came from the Lüneburg branch of those von Dassel , from which several mayors of the city of Lüneburg emerged. His father Ludolph († 1591) had been mayor there since 1575 . He studied at the University of Jena and from 1582 at the University of Ingolstadt . He then went on a study trip through Italy. In 1588, on the recommendation of Wiguleus Hund, he became a legal adviser in Vienna, particularly in the service of the two Archdukes Karl and Maximilian of Austria. He was considered a proponent of the witch hunt . In 1589 he became Sülzmeister at the Lüneburg salt works . Emperor Rudolf II made him Doctor of Laws in Prague in 1590 and then Imperial and Archduke Austrian Councilor.

In 1588 he married Anne von Düsterhopen († 1593). He entered into a second marriage in 1596 with Agathe von Halle, from which Johann Friedrich von Dassel († 1656) emerged.

Under the title "Consuitudines inclytae reipublicae Luneburgensis" he pointed out in 1592 that in Lüneburg there were still no clear differences between the terms city law, statute and customary law. The Göttingen law professor Christian Gottlieb Riccius agreed with this assessment.
