Johann Conrad Jacobi (politician)
Johann Conrad Jacobi (born September 14, 1709 in Murrhardt / Württemberg; † July 18, 1786 in Bochum ) was mayor of Bochum.
Life
Jacobi received Bochum citizenship in 1730 and was active as a merchant and merchant.
He married Gertrude Christine Severin on July 3, 1735, the daughter of Georg Heinrich Severin and Sibilla Margarethe Krupp and widow of the "great businessman" Johann Hermann Mallinckrodt. Gertrude died on March 25, 1795 at the age of 93 in Bochum. They had three children together: Georg Friedrich Jacobi , Margaretha Dorothea Jacobi and Johann Ludwig Jacobi.
After his marriage - which brought him wealth and reputation - he lived in house no. 130 (Bongardstrasse 43, formerly Obere Marktstrasse 37) in Bochum.
The Prussian state government appointed him second mayor in 1745. He held the office until the first mayor, Gerhard Wilbrand Lennich, left in 1772.
The city council and the community leaders then unanimously gave Jacobi the job “in view of the services and efforts rendered especially during the war and otherwise in the city”; However, since his health had been weakened since the war, he asked his son, the lawyer at the regional court, Dr. jur. Georg Friedrich Jacobi to put aside. Soon afterwards, old Jacobi resigned completely and on December 23, 1772 his son was elected.
Jacobi acquired the Lehngut Weilbrinkshof from Herdecke monastery in 1750 , which stretched from today's Catholic vicariate on Bleichstrasse to Arndtstrasse and Stühmeyerstrasse. The new property later became a valuable asset for his heirs as the city developed. He also built the house at Wittener Str. 9 in Bochum, which he bequeathed to his son Johann Ludwig in 1775.
