Jakob beer brewer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Jakob Bierbrauer (* 1673 in Hachenburg , † 1749 in Ilsenburg ) was a German clergyman and Bergrat.

Life

He was the son of Hans Gerhard Bierbrauer and married the widowed Countess Christiane Luise von Leiningen-Westerburg, born Countess zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Vallendar (1673-1745). From this marriage the son Joseph Friedrich Bierbrauer (1704–1789) and the daughters Charlotte Eleonore (1708–1751) and Sophie Charlotte Bierbrauer (1713–1795) were given positions in the Protestant monastery of Drübeck .

Jakob Bierbrauer was a court preacher and is described as gifted but dark and sectarian. The widowed Countess von Leiningen-Westerburg entered into an inappropriate marriage with him, probably for mainly religious reasons. Brewers studied after marriage in the Netherlands Medicine and was 1715 in Utrecht to Dr. med. PhD.

When his future stepdaughter Sophie Charlotte , who came from his wife's first marriage, came to Wernigerode and married the ruling Count Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode in 1712, Jakob Bierbrauer brought her to Wernigerode as her personal physician . Here he became the gräflich-stolbergischen Bergrat appointed and for him and his family the Leininger Hof in Ilsenburg furnished.

At the beginning of the 1730s he started the peat industry in the county of Wernigerode again.
