from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Christoph Aurbach , modernized Johann Christoph Auerbach , († September 23, 1739 in Quedlinburg ) was a German civil servant and lawyer . He was first royal Saxon court advisor in Barby and finally the office director of the government of the Quedlinburg monastery .

Life

He came from a family resident in Langensalza and was the son of the licentiate of the same name, who was elected to the council of the city of Langensalza in 1706.

On April 1, 1701, Johann Christoph Aurbach junior was enrolled as a law student at the University of Halle . In the following years, Aurbach can be proven as a respondent in several defense of legal dissertations.

After completing his legal studies, he was from 1708 first as a councilor in the service of the Quedlinburg monastery, then he moved as councilor to Duke Heinrich von Sachsen-Weißenfels-Barby and his successor Georg Albrecht von Sachsen-Weißenfels-Barby to Barby.

In 1734 he returned to Quedlinburg and entered the service of the Prince of Schleswig-Holstein , who owned the Quedlinburg Monastery at the beginning of the 18th century and appointed the Protestant abbess of the secular monastery as the chancellery director . One of his first major tasks as director of the monastery chancellery was to settle the differences with the Quedlinburg abbess about the Quedlinburg monastery that had arisen with King Friedrich II of Prussia.

Aurbach left behind the two sons Johann Gottlieb Aurbach , margravial Brandenburg councilor and royal Polish and electoral Saxon appointed bailiff of the Artern sequestration office as well as the merchant and merchant Anton Wilhelm Aurbach in Magdeburg .

His daughter married Ernst August Freiherr von Freiher von Nordenflycht, who later became the Swedish chamberlain and chief mountain director in Kurland.

After the death of her husband Johann Christoph Aurbach, his widow Anna Catharina nee Honfeisten left the city of Quedlinburg and lived in Neuhaldensleben until her death in 1753 , where her husband had acquired the so-called Große Hof.

Johann Christoph Aurbach had a close relationship with Tunzenhausen throughout his life. Because with the half of the manor there, which belonged to Ernst Friedrich Meurer and his family, he and later his feudal heirs were enfeoffed. They owned the entire hand of this electoral Saxon fiefdom and renewed their feudal obligation at the Lehnhof Dresden.
