Jobst from Bötticher

Jobst Justus von Bötticher (* 1550 in Nordhausen ; † 1624 there ) was a German politician and mayor of Nordhausen.

Live and act

Jobst von Bötticher was born as the second son of the Countess-Hohnstein chancellor and reformer Peter von Boetticher (1525-1585) from the old Boetticher family and his first wife, the mayor's daughter Margarethe Ernst (1525-1565). He got his middle name from his godfather, the reformer and friend of Martin Luther , Justus Jonas .

Jobst enrolled at the University of Erfurt in 1571. With a feudal letter from the episcopal church in Halberstadt , he received a Christian fiefdom in Hornburg near Eisleben in 1577 . This was the reward for the brokerage service of his father Peter, to the barter agreement with Elector Augustus of Saxony had led through which the suzerainty over Eisleben of Halberstadt Electorate came.

A few years later he moved back to Nordhausen and lived in the family house on Kornmarkt, which he was awarded by inheritance contract in 1599. He was first councilor and in 1595, 1597 and then again in 1603 one of the two mayors (councilors) of Nordhausen who led the council and held the office together with his cousins Christoph Ernst (mayor 1595) and Cyriacus Ernst (mayor 1599) and with Johann Lutterot (Mayor 1597). At that time, Nordhausen had three council regiments, each headed by two mayors and each ruling for a year. Many names reappeared in the city council registers every three years, though not always in the same order.

In 1602 Boetticher acquired the manors of Neustadt and Harzungen with 7 Hufen land from Wilhelm von Birckau for 1,300 Reichstaler . As can be seen from the agricultural interest register of 1609, Jobst Bötticher was one of the six largest landowners in Nordhausen and had to pay interest payments of 2 shillings a year.

After his death, Jobst received an epigraph from Andreas Bachmann, the father of the famous German philosopher and poet Andreas Rivinus .

family

Jobst von Bötticher married Barbara Michael (born 1555) in 1575, with whom he had seven children. His daughter Catharina (born 1588) married in 1610 with Valtentin Lutterot (1584–1626), the son of his co-mayor from 1597, Johann Lutterot. His second son Peter (1590–1634) married the daughter of his cousin and mayoral colleague from 1595, Regina Ernst (1590–1637) and founded the older Nordhäuser line of the Boetticher family. His youngest son Andreas (1601–1631) married Katharina Herrschaftsmeister in 1623, went to Bleicherode as a theologian and, as the founder of the younger Nordhausen line, became the grandfather of the later mayor of Nordhausen Johann von Bötticher .
