Johann Georg Gutzmer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Georg Gutzmer (* around 1645 perhaps in Rostock ; † November 17, 1716 in Lübeck ) was a German lawyer of the early modern period.

Life

Johann Georg Gutzmer came from an old family of pastors who had been resident in Mecklenburg for three generations. He was born around 1645 as the son of the lawyer Simon Johann Gutzmer (1608–1674), who was born in Sternberg . Laurentius Gutzmer was his cousin. From 1665 he studied law at the universities of Rostock and Wittenberg . In Rostock he was promoted to Dr. iur. PhD.

From 1680 to 1693 Gutzmer worked as a legal advisor in the Mecklenburg judiciary in Schwerin. When the Mecklenburg dynasty broke out in a bitter succession and inheritance dispute after the Mecklenburg-Güstrow line died out (1695), which finally led to the third main division of Mecklenburg in a Hamburg settlement (1701) , Gutzmer became the chief negotiator of the designated duke for a few years Adolf Friedrich (II.) . His travel accounts from this period have been preserved to this day. During this time Gutzmer was appointed the Mecklenburg court counselor, wrote a legitimation document on the Mecklenburg primogeniture law in the interests of his employer, but fell out of favor and left Mecklenburg.

From 1700 to 1716 he was Syndicus of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck . In 1701 he belonged to a commission together with the Lübeck councilors Johann Westken and Joachim von Dale , which was supposed to forbid the Reformed parish, which was only tolerated in Lübeck, from preaching in German; however, this initiative did not prevail. He was in 1712 by Emperor Charles VI. raised to the imperial nobility with the predicate of Gusmann .

family

Johann Georg Gutzmer was married to Agneta Sophie, born in 1673. Willebrand, daughter of Rostock professor Albert Willebrand (the elder) (1608–1681) and his wife Elisabeth, b. Wichmann.
