Johann Heinrich Funck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich Funck also Hannß Heinrich Funckh (* around 1637 in Frühbuß ; buried January 17, 1713 there ), was a Bohemian top trader, tradesman, city judge, councilor and church mayor of Frühbuß.

Life

He was possibly the son of Hans Funck, who served as mountain master von Frühbuss from 1613 to 1638 . Probably baptized as a Protestant, he converted to Catholicism at the time of the Counter-Reformation to avoid the threat of emigration. In 1659 he married the daughter of the local mountain master Elias Baumgartel. In his hometown he held the office of judge for many years, at least from 1680 to 1699. During his tenure, Frühbuss received new mining privileges and, in 1680, Daniel Joseph Mayer, his own pastor, who completely converted the town's Protestant population, which had been the majority until then. After 1699 Funck was the oldest member of the council and last held the title of church leader or church father from 1702. It is also known about him that he was active in the tin mining and lace business in Frühbuss. Funck died in 1713 at the age of 76 years, 4 weeks and 3 days and was buried with a requiem . His brother-in-law was the school and mountain master of early penance Theophil Richter . His son the mountain master and imperial toll collector of early penance Florian Funck .
