Johann Bösewiel

Johann Hinrich Bösewiel , actually Böseviel , (* before 1723; † December 1755 in Uetersen ) was a German author and governor of the Uetersen Bailiwick.

Life

Bösewiel was a person of powerful stature and great influence and lived in a large courtyard in Katzhagen . He was in the service of the Pinneberger Landdrosten and was the successor to the “most highly appointed” bailiff Burchardi and in 1723 took over the bailiwick of Uetersen. The district bailiwick of Uetersen bordered the county of Rantzau and the noble estates Haselau , Haseldorf and Seestermühe . It comprised three parishes (Elmshorn, Seester and Uetersen), as well as 15 villages among others: Groß Nordende , Heidgraben , Moorrege , Lohe , Seester and today's Elmshorn districts Vormstegen and Heinholz.

Bösewiel wrote in 1735 for the Holstein state government in Gluckstadt his work: "description of the monastery and Amtsvogtey Uetersen etc. is in what state selbige in which condition they are and what Producution present therein" that now in the Schleswig-Holstein State Archive is .

District Böselwiel was close friends with the monastery syndic Jürgen Grube and the monastery provost , Benedikt von Ahlefeldt . He was an “energetic man” to whom Uetersen and the surrounding area owed a lot. Bösewiel was a member of the expert commission, which in 1731 in the legal dispute of the mill master Johann Hinrich Carstens against the Uetersen monastery provost Heinrich von Reventlow and the "Ober-Land-Drosten" Otto Carl von Callenberg (1686-1759), to the concession of the " Neue Mühle ”in Groß Nordende, campaigned for the cause of the mill master Carstens and obtained the mill license from the royal rent office in Copenhagen on September 7, 1731. Thereafter, the bailiff was the victim of denunciation and a character assassination campaign . Bösewiel was placed under house arrest and his property was confiscated. In 1746, when a revision was carried out, inconsistencies were found in the bailiff's accounts. On February 20, 1748, the incident was reported to the Rent Office in Copenhagen and this was followed by a reply from the Rent Office in Copenhagen in March 1748 to the Pinneberger Landdrost von Perckentin, in which the disputed settlement of Bösewiels with the Pinneberger office cashier was concerned. Whereupon in 1749 Bösewiel sent a petition to the king, in which he complained " that after about 25 years of service on sham denunciation " of the administrator Hennings " he was in arrears with the official treasury with about 2000 Rtl in man's money ... immediately after the arrival of the Post two cuirassiers were put into the house. ". " This morning d. April 18, 1749, "his goods and effects were inventoried and sealed " by the land notary and office secretary Brandt " . Bösewiel continues to ask the king to be exempt from “ personal and real restraints ” and to allow two months to set up the register of remnants.

On March 15, 1779, the land notary Brandt noted that he “could not have carried out the order for the inventory and sealing on March 14 ” because he “ could not have received any voiture” (wagons) “due to severe frost ”. “ On March 18th at 6½ o'clock he cashed in under the watch of two men. On entering the house he would have found the governor in the room on the left. He agreed with everything, only asked not to arrest those papers that were necessary for his justification. "

On April 22, 1751, friends of the suspended bailiff paid the rest of his supposed debts to the official treasury. Bösewiel died in December 1755 and his estate was publicly auctioned in May 1756.

Later, after years of research, it turned out that the suspicion of infidelity against Bösewiel was unfounded and ended in 1771 with a settlement.
