Life

Jean Dagobert d'Aigrefeuille was born to Jean d'Aigrefeuille, conseiller du Roi , administrator of the king in the pre-revolutionary absolutism of the Ancien Régime , and Marie Anne Reech. On May 17, 1769, he began studying law at the University of Strasbourg . He must have heard Catholic theology here, because in 1776 he was a Catholic priest in Basel . In 1778 he becomes rector of the chapter of the Murbach monastery and in 1785 rector of the chapter church in Cernay (Haut-Rhin) .

As Rector Kapitelkirche Guebwiller in 1791 he took the oath on the civil constitution of the clergy , but was the first priest in the Haut-Rhin department to resign. Now he became Commissaire du gouvernement in Ammerschwihr , national agent in Riquewihr and finally came to Mainz in 1798 as Secretary General of the Commissariat general de la Republique Francaise , where he acted as head of the denunciation office of the French administration, from June 1799 together with Mathias Metternich . In 1799 he became the private secretary of Joseph Lakanal , who also had a theological background.

Shortly after he came to power in 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte created new administrative structures throughout France in September 1800 . Large parts of the later Rheinhessen and parts of the Palatinate were combined in the new French Département du Mont-Tonnerre . In this context, d'Aigrefeuille, as Contribution Director of the Donnersberg department, was responsible for collecting direct taxes. He also became a member of the Conseil general , the highest elected collegiate body in the department and a member of the electoral college in Mainz .
