Johann Peter Sieveking
Johann Peter Sieveking (born December 16, 1763 in Hamburg ; † November 30, 1806 in Hanau ) was a Hamburg lawyer and diplomat.
Life
He was the third son of the merchant Peter Niclaes Sieveking, who immigrated from Westphalia in the middle of the 18th century and acquired Hamburg citizenship. Unlike his two older brothers Georg Heinrich and Heinrich Christian , Johann Peter did not become a businessman, but completed a law degree in Göttingen , which he completed in 1790 with a dissertation on " Seeassekuranz " characterized by practical expertise . In 1792 he was elected as in-house counsel in the Hamburg Senate and was henceforth responsible for foreign relations with Denmark, Spain and Portugal. As a permanent envoy to the Reichstag in Regensburg , he was involved in the negotiations on the Reichsdeputation Hauptschluss from 1802 . In doing so, he achieved, among other things, the preservation of the independence of the three Hanseatic cities and the transfer of the secularized Hamburg Cathedral with all its properties to the city of Hamburg.
On his way back from the Reichstag in 1806 he suddenly died in Hanau, where he was buried.
