Johann Friedrich Kleemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Friedrich Kleemann (born November 29, 1729 in Tettenborn , † August 12, 1788 in Walkenried ) was a Brunswick-Wolfenbüttelscher Oberamtmann.

Life

He was the son of Johann August Kleemann (1693–1756), who had leased the Walkenried monastery as senior bailiff. After attending school, Kleemann pursued a senior civil service career in the service of the Duke of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and, like his father, took over the position of senior magistrate in the monastery of Walkenried in the Harz region . The son was able to build on the exemplary management of the office by his father and continue this seamlessly, so that he had already achieved considerable wealth in the years 1767/68.

Among other things, Kleemann had claims to Vockstedt Castle at Artern, which he passed on to his sons. Ultimately, in 1804, his descendants managed to acquire a share of the aforementioned castle property.

In the years of price increases from 1770 to 1772, he significantly supported the poor in Walkenried and in the area of ​​the office.

When Kleemann died in 1788, he left behind a ton of gold, among other things, which was already considered strange by contemporaries.
