Johann Philipp Greiner
Johann Philipp Greiner (born July 27, 1610 in Hagenau ; † February 9, 1652 in Bouxwiller (Bas-Rhin) ) was a German lawyer .
Life
Johann Philipp Greiner was the son of the town clerk Melchior Greiner. When the religion and government of his place of birth changed, he went with his mother to Strasbourg , where, on the advice of his farmer and relative, the famous law professor Kaspar Bitsch, he devoted himself to the study of law . As early as 1635 he was able to acquire the master's degree through the dissertation De evictione feudi .
Thereupon, on the recommendation of his professors, Greiner became court master of the son of baron Johann Christoph von Gera, who studied in Strasbourg. When he left the university, Greiner accompanied him to his hometown Hamburg . There he became a teacher and educator of the sons of Laurentius Langermann, councilor of King Christian IV of Denmark. Greiner accompanied Langermann's sons on a two-year trip through Holland and France , during which he acquired a great deal of political and social knowledge. In 1640 he returned to his homeland to begin his practical career. After he had repeatedly proven his legal knowledge through the treatise De testamento imperfecto a parentibus inter liberos facto (1640), he was to be appointed to the council by the Count Palatine Georg Wilhelm von Veldenz. Out of modesty, however, he refused this honorary position and chose the legal profession, which he successfully practiced for several years. Because of his dexterity in legal matters, Greiner was appointed councilor and procurator in Buschweiler (French: Bouxwiller) in 1649 by the Count von Hanau and soon afterwards appointed bailiff in Brumath .
Greiner had married Catharina Guschard on March 3, 1646 in Strasbourg, with whom he had two sons and three daughters. He did not acquire an unusual reputation as a legal writer, but was beneficial and wise in the difficult circumstances of the Thirty Years' War through his knowledge of human nature, which he had acquired over many years with the most varied of characters . His work was very tiring and grueling, and he died of exhaustion on February 9, 1652, at the age of only 41. He was buried in the upper church in Buschweiler.
