Johann Friedrich Wagner (mountain clerk)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Friedrich Wagner († April 8, 1770 in Sangerhausen ) was an electoral Saxon mining official and local politician. He was the mountain bailiff and mayor of the city of Sangerhausen.

Life

Wagner was elected mayor of Sangerhausen. In 1747 he explained in a French speech how necessary the art of speaking was for lawyers. From this it can be concluded that he himself had a legal education.

After the previous Bergvogt in Sangerhausen left the service, the mayor Johann Friedrich Wagner was also transferred to the office of Bergvogt after the approval of the electoral higher authority in Dresden . For this purpose, he took his oath of service together with the mountain judge Gottfried Graefenhayn in the presence of the tithe in Thuringia in the trade union mining office in Sangerhausen . As mountain bailiff he was responsible for compliance with the electoral mountain shelf in Sangerhausen and the supervision of the trade union mining office in Sangerhausen. He held this office for twenty years, during which time the mining and steel industry in Sangerhausen had passed its prime. During the Seven Years' War , the mountain tithe no longer had to be paid to the Saxon court, but to the Prussian occupying power in Torgau .

Johann Friedrich Wagner died after a stroke on the evening of April 8, 1770 in Sangerhausen as mountain bailiff and mayor. His successor in office as Bergvogt was August Christian Demelius .

His son George Gottlieb Wagner became a lawyer in Sangerhausen. On January 26, 1760 he was also appointed mountain judge in Sangerhausen by order of the Electorate of Saxony. His engagement took place on March 24, 1760 at the copper works in front of Sangerhausen. He died on March 26, 1762, so that his father Johann Friedrich Wagner survived him by five years.
