Johann Gottlieb Aurbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Gottlieb Aurbach (born February 11, 1707 in Langensalza ; † June 3, 1782 in Voigtstedt ) was a margravial Brandenburg councilor and royal Polish and electoral Saxon appointed bailiff of the Artern sequestration office in the county of Mansfeld and the owner of the manor.

Life

He came from a family originally resident in Langensalza and moved to Quedlinburg at an early age, where his father Johann Christoph Aurbach became court counselor and office director of the Quedlinburg monastery. His mother was Anna Catharina Aurbach nee Honfeisten. After the death of his father in 1739, the latter moved to Neuhaldensleben in the Großer Hof, which the father had bought.

His brother was the merchant and trader Anton Wilhelm Aurbach in Magdeburg . He also had several sisters.

As a young man, he gave a speech on the occasion of the 5th anniversary of the reign of Quedlinburg Abbess Maria Elisabeth in 1723.

In 1747 Johann Gottlieb Aurbach acquired his manor in Voigtstedt from the chancellery director Johann Christoph Schmidt . Since Aurbach died in 1782 after two marriages without male heirs, this property fell to the next tenants. In this case it would be the two sons of the office director Schmidt, who died in 1781, namely Hofrat Heinrich Wilhelm Schmidt and Dr. Gottlob Friedrich Schmidt was. However, while Aurbach was still alive, he had sold his estate to his son-in-law, Captain Christian Julius von Laue, in 1776 for 14,000 thalers, albeit without the sovereign's consent. In 1783 the two Schmidt brothers reached an agreement with the Aurbach heirs and von Laue, the latter taking over the estate in Voigtstedt.

In his will, he appointed his widow Theodora Christina MNaria Aurbach as heir to his entire estate. This also included the mill located in the Voigtstedt office as a free inheritance.
