Live and act

family

Heberer came from a family whose members have rendered services to the public good and various free and imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation for more than a hundred years .

His father was the long-time councilor in Schweinfurt and administrator of the municipal hospital (hospital cellar) Erhard Heberer (around 1525–1581), who was married to Veronica Lösch, the daughter of Nicolaus Lösch. The following sons of Johann Heberer are worth mentioning:

• Marcus Heberer (1592–1665), who was appointed town clerk in Schweinfurt after the death of his father in 1628 .
• Johann Elias Heberer (1598–1634), whose son, Johann Philipp Heberer (1625–1701), was consultant and syndicus in the imperial city of Weißenburg.
• Johann Erhard Heberer (1604–1663), Swedish administrator (Vogt) of the Mainburg office, merchant, councilor and mayor in Schweinfurt.
• Johann Heberer (1608–1675), administrator at Bergrheinfeld near Schweinfurt, notary and councilor in Schweinfurt

Life and meaning

Nothing is known about his school days. Due to his later professional activity, however, it can be assumed that he studied law. In 1592 he entered the service of the city of Schweinfurt as an employee of the law firm and was appointed as his successor in 1599 after the death of the city clerk (Syndicus) Nicodemus Schön. He held this office until his death. His successor was his son Marcus Heberer .

Around 1610 he revised the old chronicle of his predecessor Nicodemus Schön (1579-1599) using the historical work published in 1599 by Cyriakus Spangenberg , the first historiographer of the county of Henneberg.

Before the Thirty Years' War , Schweinfurt, which had become Protestant, joined the Protestant Union in 1608 . The princes and estates of the Union held a convent in Schweinfurt in 1610, in which Heberer took part in his capacity as town clerk, as well as the one in Nuremberg (1615).

Heberer also took part in the 1613 Reichstag in Regensburg, in which the Catholic majority decided to pass the Reich , but rejected it by the Protestant minority.
