Johann Abraham Löwel
Johann Abraham Löwel , actually Löbel , (* July 12, 1674 in Johanngeorgenstadt ; † July 13, 1751 in Kleinschmieden ) was a Brandenburg mountain tithe, mountain master on the Hammergut Hölle and hammer master in small forges in the Franconian Forest .
Life
Johann Abraham Löwel is the son of Abraham Löwel , who was a Saxon glassworks and Franconian hammer mill owner and was the progenitor of the Löwel family in Bayreuth . His grandfather Christoph Löbel owned the Oberjugel glassworks on the Saxon-Bohemian border in the Upper Ore Mountains . He had witnessed the expulsion of the exiles from the neighboring mountain town of Platten and the establishment of the exile town of Johanngeorgenstadt . Johann Abraham Löwel was born in Johanngeorgenstadt in 1674. His father inherited the Weitersglashütte at Carlsfeld , which he sold on September 4, 1683 for 3,000 guilders to Veit Hans Schnorr , who founded the neighboring Carlsfeld hammer mill in 1678. A little later Abraham Löwel and his family left the Ore Mountains to settle near the Franconian town of Naila , where he took over the hammer mill in small forges. Here Johann Abraham Löwel grew up together with his brother Christoph Heinrich Löwel.
Löwel entered the service of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth as a mountain master. Later he became a mountain master at the Hammergut Hölle.
In Lichtenberg he married Sophia Magdalena, née Leupold, on July 5, 1703 (* 1680 in Wirsberg; born July 16, 1759 in Lichtenberg). She was the daughter of judge L. Leupold. The children Maria Elisabeth, Wolfgang Friedrich, Christiana Sophia, Johann Abraham, Friederika Susanna Johanna, Christian Siegmund and Johann Christoph Löwel emerged from this marriage.
When Johann Heinrich Löwel died on November 26, 1727, Johann Abraham Löwel inherited his father's hammer mill in Kleinschmieden as a mountain master, which he later left to his son Wolfgang Friedrich.
Johann Abraham Löwel died one day after his 77th birthday in Kleinschmieden near Naila and was buried two days later in Lichtenberg.
