Johann Gustav Friedrich von Engelbrechten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Gustav Friedrich von Engelbrechten (born November 23, 1733 in Stralsund , † March 14, 1806 in Turow ) was a German judge at the Wismar Tribunal and Chancellor of Swedish Pomerania .

Life

He was the son of Joachim Friedrich von Engelbrechten (1677-1740), City Syndic of Stralsund and Councilor in Swedish Pomerania, and Margaretha von Corswandt. After the death of his parents, he grew up from the age of seven with his uncle Hermann Heinrich Engelbrecht . He and his other uncle Brandanus Engelbrecht trained him at the University of Greifswald in history and law before studying with Buder , Schmid and Elmfeld for two years at the University of Jena .

In the winter of 1756/57 his uncle, meanwhile Vice-President of the Wismar Tribunal, brought him to Wismar . There he could study the files of the tribunal. His uncle influenced his employment as an extraordinary trainee lawyer in 1757 and as a protonotary in 1760 at the Greifswald court . After the death of his uncle he ran for the vacated assessor position at the Wismar Tribunal. Because of his relationship to the deceased and the new Vice President of Corswandt, there was a dispute with the other assessors. Finally, the Swedish government intervened, called the experienced court judge Johann Franz von Boltenstern to the tribunal and Johann Gustav Friedrich von Engelbrechten to an extraordinary assessor. When Boltenstern died soon afterwards, he was given his position.

In 1775 he was appointed Chancellor of the Swedish Pomeranian Government. The following year he became a Knight of the North Star Order . In 1802 his resignation request, which he had made for reasons of age, was granted.

On December 1, 1763, he married his cousin Regina Sophia Henrietta von Engelbrechten, a daughter of Hermann Heinrich von Engelbrecht . The marriage had four daughters and four sons:

  • Hermann (1765–1818), married twice, one son from each marriage:
