Johann Georg Otto (born February 16, 1744 in Meiningen ; † April 30, 1829 there ) was a German administrative lawyer and civil servant.

Life

Johann Georg Otto was the son of Johann Martin Otto (* 1715; † unknown), ducal rentmaster in Meiningen and his wife Anna Maria (* March 28, 1716; † unknown), a daughter of the princely chief escort collector (escort money = money, which travelers paid the escort for the safety of the roads) Johann Georg Hübner (1684–1751), born. His brother was Ernst Ludwig Otto (born May 13, 1743 in Meiningen; † July 27, 1809 in Münster ), a language teacher.

Johann Georg Otto attended the Lyceum in Meiningen and then began to study law at the University of Göttingen . After completing his studies, he was employed by the apanaged Count von der Lippe-Detmold as court master for his sons, whom he later accompanied to university.

On October 4, 1770 he was appointed by the ruling Duchess Charlotte Amalie von Hessen-Philippsthal as co-instructor of her two princes Karl and Georg , whom he accompanied to the University of Strasbourg in 1775 together with the privy councilor Johann Ludwig Heim under the supervision of the chief steward of Türkheim .

In 1775 he was employed as a councilor and rent administrator and administrator of the judicial district of Rauenstein in the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen . In February 1800, he was a Councilor Real bailiff in Schalkau while maintaining the Rauensteiner dishes. In 1805 he became an assistant to the Sonneberger Oberamtmann Karl Wilhelm Wolfgang von Donop in the management of the management of the Oberland Action Commission, which exercised the official supervision of the Oberland trade and production. After Karl Wilhelm Wolfgang von Donop died in 1813, Johann Georg Otto became the leading man in the commission who vigorously represented the interests of the Sonneberg merchants. The formal management was not initially transferred to him, but to Chamber President Anton von Uttenhoven in 1814, who died in 1816. Since then, Johann Georg Otto has been the sole member of the commission. He celebrated 50 years of service in October 1820. When he retired in 1821 and moved to Meiningen to live with his daughter, who was married to the Commissioner Andreas Werner, the rulers did not renounce his cooperation and advice on upperland economic issues. The commission was relocated to Meiningen, chaired by the Real Secret Council, Gottlob Friedrich Hartmann von Erffa , to whom Hofrat Johann Georg Otto and the government councilor Karl Ludwig von Uttenhoven were assigned as commission members.

In November 1823 Duke Bernhard II appointed him Privy Councilor.

In his first marriage he was married to Friederike, the eldest daughter of the adjunct Eyring in Sonneberg. Together they had four sons and a daughter. Both his wife and children died before him. His second marriage was Sophie Christiane (* unknown; † May 3, 1829), the only daughter of Hofrat Blümchen from Coburg , who inherited the manor Harras near Hildburghausen from her father; the marriage remained childless.

At his death he left fifteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
