Life

Johann Georg Ferdinand Jacobi was the eldest of twelve children of the mountain and hut inspector Heinrich Daniel Jacobi and his wife Johanna Maria Ziller (* December 24, 1740; † December 28, 1782), the daughter of the Hessian-Kassel hut manager Johann Conrad Ziller. His brother Gottlob Julius Jacobi was the co-founder of what would later become the Gutehoffnungshütte group.

His father became acquainted with the Saxon financial assistant councilor Stölzer from Dresden while he was in Koblenz . Because of this acquaintance, it was agreed that the financial assistant councilor Stölzer should take Johann Georg Ferdinand Jacobi with him to Dresden so that he could visit the school there. He arrived in Dresden on September 15, 1777 and from October 3, 1777 attended the local high school, the Kreuzschule . During this time he was accommodated by the Stölzer family, who took him in like their own child.

At Easter 1784 he began to study law in Leipzig . After completing his studies, he returned to his father's house in Winningen. On October 4, 1787, he received permission to practice law, but was also advised that as a Protestant he could not be employed in the civil service. For several years he practiced legal business in the area of Trier and in the neighboring counties of Wied and Sayn . But because his Lutheran creed meant that he could only work to a limited extent and to a limited extent, he returned to Dresden. There he worked as a partner, reader and private secretary with the war council Johann August Ponickau auf Klipphausen until his death in 1802, after which he enrolled as a lawyer in Dresden. During this time he was also interested in writing and wrote the two-volume novel "Faustin's half-brother or Ludwig Schobinger, a true story from the latest times of two friends" together with his friend, Dresden City Court Actuarius Karl Gottlob Albrecht .

He then applied for a position in the city ​​council and was then elected senator. As such, Jacobi initially held the office of City Court Assessor and “General Excise Subco Inspector”. From 1812 he was a deputy at the so-called "Ober-Vormundschafts-Stube". Around 1815 he was also city judge, police advisor, inspector of St. John's Church and deputy for the Quatember tax collection. In 1820 he became a deputy at the fire fund . In 1822 he was also administrator of the ecclesiastical bridge office , which administered both the bridge and the Kreuzkirche and he was now inspector of the Kreuz- and Frauenkirche .

In 1823 Johann Georg Ferdinand Jacobi is mentioned for the first time as associate mayor. In this task he was still responsible for the administration of the Leubnitzer office and the chapel . In that year he was also inspector of defeat and wagon pfennig income, the " Behrische Frey-Schreibe-Schule" (a school for the poor), deputy at the Leipzig tax credit bank and at the Dresden pawnshop . Due to his experience in local politics, he was ultimately appointed mayor by the city council. After his resignation from office in 1836, the mayor's office was democratically refilled through an election organized by the council members, so that he was the last incumbent mayor appointed by the city council.
