1706: Execution of participants in the Oberland peasant uprising on Schrannenplatz in Munich

Johann Georg Aberle (* unknown; †  January 29, 1706 in Munich ) was a Bavarian soldier.

Aberle was first adjutant in the Lützelburg Regiment and then corporal of the bodyguard of Electress Therese Kunigunde .

In December 1705 he was, especially in Bad Toelz , against the backdrop of the War of the Spanish Succession one of the leaders of the Bavarian uprising ( " country Defension ") of the top countries against Austrian occupiers. On Christmas Eve 1705 - shortly before the Sendlinger Murder Christmas - he led the conquest of the Red Tower , which was supposed to enable the revolutionaries to penetrate downtown Munich.

However, the rebels were pushed back and attacked from several sides by the Austrian troops. Many were killed, some escaped and holed up in front of Sendling . When they were surrounded by imperial troops here too, they surrendered and laid down their weapons, which was followed by a gruesome massacre of the disarmed insurgents. Aberle was initially able to escape together with several other leaders, including Johann Jäger and Johann Georg Kidler , but was arrested in early 1706.

On January 29, 1706, after his conviction in Munich, he was beheaded with the sword together with Matthias Mayer, Johann Clanze , Sebastian Senser and Johann Georg Kidler on Schrannenplatz, today's Marienplatz .
