from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Georg Hegel , (* 2. November 1615 in Würtingen ; † 29. July 1680 in Eningen ) was a Lutheran pastor and influential ancestor of the Württemberg respectability counting family Hegel .

Life

Johann Georg Hegel was born as the son of pastor Johannes Hegel (* 1576 in Großbottwar; † 1641 in Eningen) and his wife Christina Hoffmann (* 1578 in Urach ; † 1635 in Sondelfingen ). He completed his theology studies on February 25, 1635 with a master's degree. In 1636 he was first pastor in Sondelfingen, from 1640 he was also responsible for the two neighboring parishes in Sondelfingen and Eningen during the last years of the Thirty Years' War . He took over the latter after the death of his father, who was currently the pastor of Eningen, who died in 1641 of the consequences of a stroke that he suffered in the pulpit . He became the official local pastor of Eningen in 1649 until his death.

On June 6, 1638, he married his first wife Barbara Regine nee Laubenberger in Reutlingen , with whom he had a total of 18 children, of whom four daughters and eight sons are known by name. After the death of Regine Barbara († 1672 in Eningen) he entered into a second marriage in 1674 with Agathe nee Mögelin (* 1607 in Eningen), who died two years later. In 1678 he stepped in front of the altar again and married Margaretha nee Grieninger. The last two marriages were childless.

Act

Apart from his pastoral work, Johann Georg Hegel can be considered a formative progenitor of the Hegel line. On October 20, 1643, the Hegel family received a letter of coat of arms from the Catholic governor in Göppingen, in which three younger brothers are mentioned in addition to Johann Georg. His sister Catharina (* 1613) married Samuel Gmelin , who was pastor and special superintendent of Sulz and Herrenberg.

Before his death, Johann Georg bequeathed a capital of 800 guilders to the Martin Foundation (legacy from 1680) in order to finance scholarships for his descendants at the Eberhard-Karls-University in Tübingen.

The invoice from 1680/1681 notes the purpose:

"For his worthy and worthy grandchildren who applied for the Martinian scholarship in gratitude for his sons."

According to a report by the Tübingen law faculty from 19./20. April 1847, all direct descendants of Johann Georg can benefit from the scholarship. They are called " in stirpes ", that is, according to the order of the lineages, whereby older siblings have priority over younger ones. Nine of the children were married: Johann Philipp, Johann Georg, Christine Catharina, Anna Magdalena, Gabriel, Johann Friedrich, Johannes, Regine Marie, Ursula Margarethe. In doing so, they each established a line that is in principle entitled to claim, whereby Regine Marie and Gabriel are not known to have any biological descendants.

This Hegelian Foundation was one of the financially strong family foundations of the time. Through his work, Johann Georg Hegel, grandson of a kettle maker who allegedly immigrated to Großbottwar from Carinthia, established the Hegel family firmly in the upper middle class of Württemberg, the then so-called " honesty ".
