Johann Baptist Hainzel

Johann Baptist I. Hainzel von Degelstein or Degerstein (born June 26, 1524 in Augsburg , † October 27, 1581 in Augsburg) was mayor of the city of Augsburg and founder of a Protestant college for poor students at the grammar school near St. Anna .

Life

Johann Baptist Hainzel was the son of the guild master and mayor Hans V. Hainzel and Katharina Welser . The family continued to call themselves after the residence Degelstein near Lindau , which they received as a St. Gallen fief in 1333 and sold it again in 1360.

Johann Baptist Hainzel worked from 1556 to 1567 as tax master, and from 1558 to 1567 as mayor of the city of Augsburg, was a member of the Privy Council from 1568 to 1581 and held the office of Protestant church and school caretaker. He acquired his humanistic education during his studies at the universities of Basel , Tübingen , and Wittenberg (matriculation October 1542), where he maintained close contacts with Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchton , and from 1545 to 1549 during an educational trip to Italy. On this trip he was accompanied by his brother, the future astronomer and mayor Paul Hainzel , and their mutual friend and later doctor Johannes Crato .

Johann Baptist Hainzel was seen as a promoter of the sciences, especially astronomy and historiography. He owned an extensive private library which he had built up together with his brother Paul Hainzel and contributed sources for Achilles Primin Gasser's Annales Augsburgenses. He had 20 children with his wife Veronica Imhof (1529–1599), daughter of Leonhard Imhoff (1498–1557) and Veronica Rehlinger (1508–1579), whom he married in 1549.
