Johann Nikolaus Myler von Ehrenbach
Johann Nikolaus Myler von Ehrenbach (born March 16, 1610 in Urach ; † October 3, 1677 in Stuttgart ) was the Duke of Württemberg Vice Chancellor, consistorial director and constitutional law scholar.
Life
Johann Nikolaus Myler von Ehrenbach was the son of Urach's mayor Heinrich Myler, who was a long-time member of the Württemberg state parliaments. From December 2, 1618 he studied in Tübingen , Strasbourg and Basel . After a few trips he wrote the inaugural dissertation “De statibus Imperii eorumque jure” (Tübingen, 1640, 4 °) in Tübingen and received his doctorate with it.
From 1641 he led a law practice in Tübingen and at the same time gave lectures on constitutional law at the University of Tübingen . Duke Eberhard III. called in 1643 as a councilor to Stuttgart and sent him as a member of the Swabian district council, to foreign princes and in 1643 to the imperial court in Vienna. He went there in 1658 as a member of the Swabian district deputation and stayed there for eight months. Duke Eberhard, who had great confidence in him because of his character and business knowledge, promoted him to director of the consistory and supreme councilor in 1659. In addition, he made him vice-chancellor and feudal provost and gave him overall supervision of the University of Tübingen and the institutions related to it.
Johann Frank used an oil painting by G. Paul Hopffer in the Tübingen Professorengalerie as a template for a copper engraving in the form of a medallion and a fantastic, allegorical frame. The scholar, with a furrowed brow, is depicted in his middle years in the official costume of a Württemberg consistorial official.
