Johann Ernst Friedrich Thiele
Johann Ernst Friedrich Thiele (born September 10, 1773 in Ovendorf , † April 19, 1839 in Oldenburg ) was a German judicial councilor. From 1837 to 1839 he was director of the “House and Central Archives ” of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg (today's name: Lower Saxony State Archives (Oldenburg location) ).
Life
Thiele's parents were the Hanoverian Rittmeister Carl Heinrich Thiele and Amalie Margarethe Stricker, the daughter of the Chamber Councilor Stricker zu Schwartau . He was the third of four children; two of his older brothers had died early. When Thiele was two years old, his father also died. The mother moved to Plön on her own and there accepted a job with Duke Peter Friedrich Wilhelm, who was “sick”, as castellan at the castle . She left her two children Johann Ernst Friedrich and a sister in Schwartau. Later she brought her son to join him, where he "gave him food and care from good citizens, grew up and attended the learned school". The writer and diplomat Woldemar Friedrich von Schmettau promoted the young Thiele in Plön. Duke Peter Friedrich Wilhelm also sponsored the boy personally and taught him drawing and the French language , and he also made a significant contribution to the study costs. Another sponsor was Prof. Dr. Bremer. At the age of 16, Thiele was declared ready for university, but at the request of her mother, he did not go to the University of Kiel until the age of 17 . There he studied law for two years and studied for another year in Jena . Thiele was a hard-working student and made the acquaintance of Andreas Wilhelm Cramer in Kiel . In 1796 he was employed as a secretary at the prince-bishop's rent chamber in Eutin . On behalf of the prince he then administered the Kaltenhof office and became first chamber secretary in 1804 and chamber assessor the following year . While Peter I , who was declared incapable of governing Peter Friedrich Wilhelm, government administrator of the Duchy of Oldenburg , lived in Russian exile during the French period, Thiele was responsible for the business of the princely private property. When French and Danish troops crossed the Principality of Lübeck in September 1813 , Thiele put the prince's money into safety, investing several times his life. In 1812 he became a member of the chamber council and in 1819 a member of the government . In 1829, Paul Friedrich August von Oldenburg appointed him director of the law firm. He was initially given the honorary title of “ Councilor of Justice ”, then on January 3, 1834 that of a “ secret councilor ”. Thiele had also been a landlord commissioner in the Schleswig-Holstein Fideikommiss estates of the Grand Duke and Tangstedt estate since 1830 . In January 1837 he was sent to the cabinet with the rank of "Council of State", he became the head of the "House and Central Archives".
