Life

Hermann Jacob Pagenstecher studied law and theology in Herborn from 1782. From 1784 he studied law in Giessen and Göttingen . In 1795 he was appointed as the successor to Johann Georg Andreas Helmerich as the Nassau bailiff in Wehrheim. The Wehrheim office was two-manorial. In addition to Pagenstecher as the Nassau bailiff, Johannes Jacobus Finger represented the second sovereign, the Kurtrier , as the bailiff . When Pagenstecher took office in Wehrheim, he found no suitable apartment and had to live as a tenant. He therefore took up residence in Usingen and administered the Wehrheim office from there.

With the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, the Triersche half passed to Nassau-Weilburg , with the establishment of the Rheinbund in 1806, both halves of the office belonged to the Duchy of Nassau and the centuries-long division into two ended.

Now Pagenstecher was the sole bailiff in Wehrheim. From 1807 he was also given the post of magistrate in Usingen and was appointed to the judiciary. Hermann Jacob Pagenstecher accompanied the official reform in 1810 and the associated dissolution of the Wehrheim office.

1812-1813 he was appointed as magistrate in the office Idstein added. In 1814 he received the post of bailiff in Weilburg and was appointed a secret councilor. In 1834 he resigned from this office.
