Johann Jeremias Gründler (* January 1681 in Nordhausen ; † 1753 ) was a German mint master , Bergrat and Oberzehntner .

Life

Under the government of August the Strong , Johann Jeremias Gründler was appointed royal Polish and electoral Saxon tithe of the Thuringian district . At the same time he was also the Count of Stolberg's tithe. He lived from 1705 to 1749 in the city of Stolberg (Harz) , which was in the County of Stolberg , but was annexed to the Electorate of Saxony by military force during his lifetime in 1737/38 . Gründler, who was an Electoral Saxon and at the same time a Graflich-Stolberg civil servant, played a key role in this phase.

As a mint master he worked for Count Christoph Friedrich zu Stolberg-Stolberg and as such worked primarily with the die cutter and medalist Christian Wermuth (1661–1739) in Gotha . Numerous attractively designed coins and medals have been preserved from this period, some of which are now exhibited in the Alte Münze Museum in Stolberg. Its mintmaster's mark is IIG and Zainhaken .

Finally Gründler is referred to as Bergrat and Oberzehntner. He died in 1753.

Johann Jeremias Gründler was married to Veronica Weg from Sangerhausen . After the death of her wealthy father Martin Weg in 1729, she and her siblings inherited his extensive property. By inheritance settlement on May 9, 1729, she and her husband received the so-called Stieglederischen estates in Sangerhausen, which her father had acquired in 1699. This also included the successor to the representative former house of Caspar Tryller in the (old) Magdeburger Strasse in the Wasserviertel in Sangerhausen.

In 1748 Johann Jeremias Gründler left half of the property in Sangerhausen to his wife Veronica Gründler and when she died on May 10, 1762 in Sangerhausen, their two children, Caspar Gründler and Ernestina Maria, married Renner.
