Live and act

family

Heberer came from a family whose members have rendered services to the public good and various free and imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation for more than a hundred years .

His father was the Syndicus, town clerk and historian of the city of Schweinfurt Johann Heberer (1568–1628) in Schweinfurt, the son of E (h) rhardt Heberer (approx. 1525–1581), who was married to Veronica Lösch. Johann Heberer was married to Margarethe Holdt (Heldt?), The daughter of Johann Holdt (Heldt?).

Johann Erhard Heberer was married in his first marriage to Margareta Rosa (1604-before 1640), the daughter of the Wüllenwebers (wool weaver) Nikolaus Rosa and granddaughter of the Cantor, school clerk and councilor Paul Rosa (1532-1606) from Schweinfurt. In his second marriage he married Maria Miltenberger, the widow of the Limburg bailiff Johann Ludwig Wurstumb.

The daughter of Johann Erhard Heberer, Anna Elisabeth Heberer, married in 1673 the merchant and grocer Johann Leonhard Renninger (1647–1716), who was from 1707 to 1716 a member of the "addition", the "outer council" of the city of Schweinfurt.

A brother of Johann Erhard Heberer was the notary (Not. Publ) Johann Heberer (1608–1684), who was the administrator of Bergrheinfeld near Schweinfurt at the time of his marriage in 1633 . He was also a member of the council in Schweinfurt from 1673 to 1684.

Another brother was Johann Elias Heberer (1589–1634), about whom nothing more is known. He was the father of the lawyer Lic. Johann Philipp Heberer (1625–1701), high princely Eichstädter and high countess cardboard home-highly respected councilor and then the oldest consultant and syndic of the imperial city Weissenburg. His children are waiting for Lic. Wolfgang Wilhelm Heberer († 1721), Royal Polish, Electorate, Saxon and Hofgräflicher Pappenheimischer Rat, Syndicus, Konsistorialpräsident a. Fiefdom provost and imperial quartermaster of the Holy Roman Empire and Johann Wolfgang Heberer (1675 to 1730), consultant and syndicus in Weißenburg in what is now Bavaria.

Another son of Johann Heberer was Marcus Heberer , who was appointed town clerk in Schweinfurt after the death of his father Johann Heberer in 1628 .

Life and meaning

During the Thirty Years' War, the Swedish troops advanced into southern Germany and in 1631 occupied the Catholic monastery of Würzburg. For the Schweinfurters who had joined the Reformation, this was the opportunity to take revenge on the residents of the neighboring Würzburg office of Mainburg , who had committed acts of violence against the Schweinfurters in the Brandenburg or Margravial Wars in 1554 . Johann Erhard Heberer knew how to seize the opportunity. He succeeded, probably through the mediation of his brother Marcus Heberer , the town clerk of Schweinfurt, who had negotiated with the Swedes on the surrender of the town of Schweinfurt without a fight and therefore enjoyed great respect among the Swedes, from the Swedish head office to administrator (Vogt ) to be used. He moved into the princely palace at Mainburg and is said to have emptied the princely cash register and brought the supply of wine and grain as well as sheep and pigs to Schweinfurt. He also allowed soldiers recruited by him from Schweinfurt to plunder the Mainburg office.

In September 1634, the imperial troops, led by Field Marshal Piccolomini , occupied the city of Schweinfurt and the Mainburg office with 6,000 mercenaries. Heberer and his companions were captured. Heberer was removed from office and only released for a large ransom. In the same year Heberer, who then worked as a trader, became a member of the council and remained so until his death. He held the office of mayor several times, the first time probably in 1637. In 1636 the council of the city of Schweinfurt decided, due to the emergency that had arisen from the imperial occupation of the city, a deputation of several members, including Heberer to send to the King of Hungary Ferdinand III , the son of Emperor Ferdinand III , who was staying in Wallerstein near Augsburg , who also received the deputation, but only put it off so that no relief could be achieved. Heberer was also later commissioned to conduct negotiations to improve the city's plight.
