Johann Eberhard Georgii
Johann Eberhard Georgii (born December 21, 1694 in Bad Urach , † June 20, 1772 in Stuttgart ) was a German lawyer and Württemberg politician.
Johann Eberhard Georgii was a son of the bailiff Johann Martin Georgii (1658–1738) and his wife Margaretha Kiefer. He studied law in Tübingen and then went into Austrian service. From 1717 to 1720 he took part in the Spanish-Sicilian wars . Then he returned to Württemberg, became a councilor in 1722, chamber procurator in 1731 and chamber director in 1736. Georgii criticized Joseph Suss Oppenheimer's questionable coin operations and was therefore dismissed from civil service by Duke Karl Alexander von Württemberg . After the Duke's death, Georgii was rehabilitated and appointed to the Privy Council in 1738.
From 1741 to 1744 he stayed as ambassador extraordinary at the court of Frederick the Great , where the three Württemberg princes were educated. He played a key role in the connection between the Hereditary Prince Karl Eugen and Elisabeth Friederike von Bayreuth . In 1764 he was removed from office because he opposed an illegal tax plan of the favorite Friedrich Samuel von Montmartin .
Since 1722 Georgii was married to Catharina Magdalena Wolf (1702–1753) from Leipzig. The couple had sons Christian Eberhard (1724–1796) and Eberhard Gottlob (1730–1793).
