Life

After studying law, Johann Sigmund Lindner worked as a copyist at the latest from 1798 , then as a chamber clerk at the Emskirchen Chamber of Commerce. Temporarily retired, the Bavarian King Maximilian I Joseph appointed him foundation administrator for the Erlangen district on January 22, 1813. In the first election after the second Bavarian municipal edict of May 17, 1818, the voting committee of the municipal representatives elected Lindner as the first legally qualified mayor of the city of Erlangen. On September 15, 1822, the municipal representatives unanimously re-elected him after three years of "temporary service". He died in 1827 the day before his 57th birthday.

During his tenure as First Mayor of Erlangen, Lindner advocated the establishment of a municipal secondary school in 1820, the move of the city council from the orangery in the castle garden to the former university building on Hauptstrasse in 1826, as well as various beautification measures such as the planting of fruit trees or the creation of an avenue along Bayreuther Straße. In Nuremberg he supported the Maximilians-Heilungs-Anstalt for destitute eye patients .

Awards

The city of Erlangen made him an honorary citizen in 1822 for his services as first mayor, but also because he had no house of his own and therefore no civil rights . After a street was not named in Röthelheimpark , the city honored him in 2018 with the naming of "Lindnerstraße" in the west of the city.
