Johann Poppenberger

Johann Poppenberger or Hans Poppenberger Junior (baptized on April 30, 1618 in Platten , Bohemia ; buried on December 5, 1690 there ), was a Bohemian mine owner, councilor and city judge. He is one of the founders of the exile town of Johanngeorgenstadt .

Life

Johann Poppenberger was the son of Johann Poppenberger Senior (baptized June 8, 1588 in Platten; † July 28, 1658 ibid) and his wife Anna geb. Röner, the daughter of Matthes Röner. His godfather was among others the mountain foreman and city judge Johann Löbel , as well as the shift supervisor Salomon Hütter. The extensive family originally came from St. Joachimsthal . His paternal great-grandfather was the pewter Melchior Siegel from Eibenstock . In his hometown Poppenberger became a citizen and was the operator of a mine in which he had tin mined . According to the index of court and city books, Poppenberger acquired a house in Platten from Andreas Georg and half a farmstead from his brother David Poppenberger .

On October 10, 1653, the people of Plattner who were not ready to convert to Catholicism were declared banished and expelled from the country. Poppenberger was one of the first seven people who escaped to the Fastenberg in the Electorate of Saxony . On 12/22 In May 1652, Poppenberger and Melchior Horbach asked the Elector of Saxony to relocate and start mining above the newly built grinding mill of the miller Matthäus Weigel. Two years later, the majority of the Plattner exiles also settled there. Today's Johanngeorgenstadt emerged from the settlement .

Years later Poppenberger fell away from the Protestant faith and returned to Platten with his wife and children. He wasn't the only one. His future father-in-law, Bergmeister Christoph Haas , the paint mill owner Peter Kuhn , the city judge Melchior Siegel and others were among those who returned . After returning plates, Johann Poppenberger purchased inexpensively from two houses to Kursachsen fled exiles and that of Oswald Zwingler and Michael Ullmann. He decided not to buy a third house that had already been planned because of defamation. In the last years of his life, Poppenberger held the offices of councilor and city judge in Platten. He died in 1690 at the age of 72. Poppenberger left a large number of offspring.
