Johann Siegismund Scheller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Siegismund Scheller , also Johann Sigismund Scheller , († February 21, 1781 ) was a German lawyer , Countish Schönburg councilor and bailiff of Glauchau and later electoral court director in Zwickau and manor owner in Oberheldrungen .

Life

Scheller was the son of the Schwarzburg court and chamber councilor Johann Jacob Scheller in Arnstadt .

In 1738 he was at the University of Altdorf to Dr. jur. PhD. His dissertation is entitled Meditationes inaugurales de iure et reservato imperatoris, mittendi commissarios ad actum electionis ecclesiasticorum SRGI principum et praesulum .

As early as 1750, Scheller had successfully endeavored to preserve the estate of the administrator Johann Christoph Nürnberger from Burgheßler in the small community of Heldrungen located in the Electoral Saxon office of Heldrungen. Three years later he bought his feudal estate in Oberheldrungen from Nürnberger. He had traveled to Burgheßler to conclude the purchase contract. Scheller must have had a close relationship with the archivist Carl Erdmann Nitsche from Glauchau, as he made him lean on the Oberheldrung property. In the event of his childless death, Oberheldrungen would have gone to Nitsche, but it did not come to that.

In 1752 he was sued by Georg Ackermann for incitement. The process lasted several years and ended in 1755 with the result that Scheller left Glauchau in Schönburg and settled in the neighboring district of Zwickau in Electoral Saxony . He had found a new place of activity here by 1764 at the latest. In 1778 he lived in neighboring Planitz . He succeeded Christian Friedrich Koch, who died in 1776, as court director. As such, in July 1776, for example, he had the three Planitz coal pits that had collapsed due to the Planitz earth fire reopened.

When Scheller died in 1781, he left his daughter Christiana Maria as heir, who was married to Carl Anton Dittmar, who worked as a secretary for the state government in Dresden.
