Johann Christian Crell

Johann Christian Crell (* July 7, 1690 in Dresden , † September 5, 1762 ibid) was a Saxon notary , official and council auctioneer and taxator, as well as bookseller and historiographer in Dresden. As a court chronicler, he published many everyday events in Dresden under the pseudonym Iccander .

Life

After the death of his parents in 1715, the 25-year-old Crell was the last of his family - with no inheritance, no debt, no provisions and no income. Crell became a pupil of the Saxon court councilor Paul Jacob Marperger , from whom he learned how to write and publish newspapers. He became one of the first publishers of newspapers and city guides in Dresden. In 1714, for example, he published the Diarium Dresdense as the first handwritten periodical newspaper with news about what was going on at court and about accidents. He was also the editor of the Kurtzgefaßten Saxon Kern-Chronicon (6 parts, 1720–1726) with the Remarquable (n) curieuse (n) letters (s) . From 1725 he was also an officially appointed auctioneer and proclamator. On March 30, 1730, he sent his King and Elector August the Strong a request to give him the privilege of a weekly advertising paper , a "question and answer sheet". In November and December 1751 he was auctioneer for a number of minerals and other collectibles.

Crell died in Dresden in 1762 and was buried in the local Johanniskirchhof . The grave has not been preserved.
