1706: Execution of participants in the Oberland peasant uprising on Schrannenplatz in Munich

Johann Clanze (* around 1667 in Wassenberg , Duchy of Jülich ; † January 29, 1706 in Munich ) was a Bavarian officer and participant in the Bavarian popular uprising of 1705. As one of its leaders, he was publicly executed.

Life

Clanze came from the Wittelsbach Duchy of Jülich , was initially a student and joined the curb-Bavarian infantry regiment of Seyboldsdorf around 1700, where he rose from musketeer to first lieutenant . After the extensive destruction of the Bavarian army in the battle of Höchstädt in 1704, he was taken over into the 400-man guard of Electress Therese Kunigunde, which was the only armed force still allowed by the Treaty of Ilbesheim Bavaria . In 1705 he took part in the Bavarian people's uprising and served, among other things, as a translator for the alleged French ambassador Jean Philippe Gauthier , but stayed with the rebels when he fled abroad. During the bloody suppression of the uprising on the Sendlinger Murder Christmas , he was captured by Austria and imprisoned in the Munich Falcon Tower . An imperial ban judge condemned Clanze, who had no defense counsel, without considering the circumstances of his participation in the uprising on January 29, 1706 as a ringleader to be beheaded by the sword and confiscated his property. Together with Johann Georg Aberle , Sebastian Senser and Johann Georg Kidler , who were also sentenced to death , Clanze was taken to Munich's Schrannenplatz (today's Marienplatz ) on the same day , where a stage had been set up for the execution. It took the executioner four blows to sever Clanze's head from the torso. Johann Jäger , another leader of the uprising, was executed on March 17, 1706.

Clanze was married, had two children and lived in the Au .,

In the Munich district of Sendling-Westpark , not far from the location of the Murder Christmas, a street has been commemorating him since 1898. In 2014, a street name supplement with biographical information was attached.
