Johann Christian Friedrich Heinzelmann (* July 24, 1762 in Meldorf ; † May 12, 1830 ibid) was a governor in Süderdithmarschen .

Live and act

Heinzelmann's ancestors have been known since the 17th century. A person named Johann Heinzelmann (* 1626 in Breslau ) worked in 1645 as a master’s degree in Wittenberg , as rector at the Cöllnisches Gymnasium Berlin and finally as superintendent in Salzwedel . Three generations followed, among which well-known theologians can be found. These worked in the Altmark, in Gardelegen , Salzwedel and Hehlingen .

Johann Christian Friedrich Heinzelmann's father named Rudolph Friedrich Otto Heinzelmann (born April 20, 1738 in Hehlingen; † April 19, 1805 in Salzwedel ) was vice rector of the Meldorfer School of Academics from 1759 to 1764 , then rector in Salzwedel and preacher in Crevese . From 1786 he worked as an inspector in Salzwedel-Neustadt. He was married to Augusta Charlotte Mariana, née Remmers († October 8, 1769 in Salzwedel). Her father Johann Anton Remmers worked as a court actuary in Meldorf.

On October 11, 1781, Heinzelmann enrolled to study theology at the University of Halle / Saale. Afterwards he taught as a philologist at the pedagogy in Halle . On October 16, 1789, he enrolled at the University of Göttingen, where he studied law. In 1791 he went to the colleges in Copenhagen; At that time the usual entry into a career as an administrative lawyer. In 1793 he became an authorized representative of the German Chamber of Pensions, and two years later he was secretary there. From 1797 he also administered the tables of the duchies. In 1800 he was appointed chamber councilor and in 1802 judicial councilor. In August 1804 he became a member of the pension chamber.

On December 8, 1804, Heinzelmann was deputy of the German Chancellery , in 1805, Budget Councilor and on June 27, 1806, Governor of Süderdithmarschen. From 1807 he also worked as an inspector for the Crown Prince Koog. In 1817 he became a conference councilor.

Heinzelmann had a representative house built on Nordermarkt in Meldorf. With the permission of the king, the governor's office was also located here. The house existed until it was demolished in 1863. Subsequently, the premises were housed in the newly built district office.

Activities as a lawyer

Why Heinzelmann stopped teaching and studied again is not documented. It is well known that contacts to Copenhagen arose through relatives on his mother's side, which gave him access to a job in Copenhagen. Since his mother came from Meldorf, he also fulfilled the conditions of the indigenous law passed by Detlev von Reventlow in January 1776 .

Influenced by his parents' house, his university visits and his teaching activities, Heinzelmann had broad knowledge at the time. During his time in Copenhagen he also proved himself to be an expert on finance and money. As head of the "table work" he collected statistical data on the duchies.

During the occupation by Swedish-Russian soldiers from 1813 to 1815, the Swedes ordered Heinzelmann to join the government commission that ran the administration. After the Danish national bankruptcy in 1813 and the new Reichsbanktaler, the duchies went bankrupt. The king then appointed a commission on May 11, 1816, to which Heinzelmann also belonged. The commission should work out proposals as to how the relationship between the duchies and the Reichsbank could be reorganized. Heinzelmann's proposal appeared in the Kiel Correspondenzblatt in 1838.

In 1816 a new commission for the corporate representation under Johann Sigismund von Mösting met. Heinzelmann represented the rural districts in this commission. The commission should work out how the estates establishment in the Duchy of Holstein, which became necessary due to Article 13 of the Vienna Federal Act , could be implemented. Heinzelmann suggested establishing a one-chamber system. Landlords, cities and the countryside should have 12:11:16 seats. This proposal was partially implemented decades later, on May 15, 1834.

family

Heinzelmann was married to Jakobine Rahbek (* 1777 in Copenhagen; † January 7, 1855 in Meldorf). Her father Jakob Rahbek worked in Copenhagen as a customs administrator and legal advisor. The couple had their son Ludwig Gustav (born September 28, 1803 in Altona ; † October 17, 1861 ibid). This was Hardesvogt and chief president in Altona.

Heinzelmann's wife was a half-sister of the scholar Lyne Rahbek and Heinzelmann with the marriage brother-in-law of the later bailiff Christian Matthias Jakob Johannsen. Rahbek and Johannsen's wives, named Agneta Sophia and Jakobine, had close friendships with Friedrich VI.
