Johann Jacob Rehfuß
Johann Jacob Rehfuß (* 1740 in Tübingen ; † January 1821 there ) was a butcher and mayor of Tübingen.
Life
Johann Jacob Rehfuß was a son of the Tübingen butcher Johann Rehfuß and his wife Regine Speidel, a daughter of the Hagellocher glazier Johann Wilhelm Speidel. Like his father, he was a butcher by trade. In 1766 he married Maria Katharina Büchsenstein, a daughter of Philipp Jakob Büchsenstein from Altingen . The writer Philipp Joseph von Rehfues (1779–1843) comes from the marriage .
From 1774 Rehfuß belonged to the Tübingen council as a member of the council, and in 1792 he was promoted to court (until 1819). From the same year he was also accis administrator (until 1810). From 1800 to 1819 he held the office of mayor of Tübingen. From 1809 he was also Oberaccis administrator.
As mayor, Rehfuß had, among other things, to lead the police in difficult times of war. He was seen as "well-deserved" because he was distinguished - already as a councilor - by fairness in the distribution of the goods entrusted to him after the conflagration of 1789.
