Johann Ernst Günther

Johann Ernst Günther (also Ernst Günther ; * May 20, 1787 in Marktbreit ; † June 3, 1852 in Marktsteft ) was a farmer and mayor of Marktsteft and between 1831 and 1834 a member of the state parliament in the Chamber of Deputies in the Bavarian State Assembly.

Live and act

Johann Ernst Günther was born on May 20, 1787 in the Schwarzenberg trading town of Marktbreit am Main . His family was probably one of the most important merchant families in the area and made up the upper class of the flourishing community. Later, the evangelical Günther moved to the neighboring Marktsteft, which had been promoted by the Margraves of Ansbach , but sank into insignificance again under Prussian rule.

Günther became a farmer in the small community and experienced the town elevation by the royal Bavarian officials in 1819. From 1829 he even held the office of mayor of Marktsteft. Two years later he was promoted to a member of the 5th Landtag ( Lower Main District / Class V), where he was included in the then unofficial " opposition " within the Bavarian Assembly of Estates. Günther became a member of the tax committee. In 1834 he resigned from the state parliament. Johann Ernst Günther died on June 3, 1852 in Marktsteft. Güntherstraße in Marktsteft may honor the memory of the MP.
