Johann Valentin Sckell

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Valentin Sckell (* 1694 in Marksuhl ; † 1769 there ) was a game master from Saxony-Eisenach .

family

Sckell was the son of Johann Georg Sckell (* 1634; † May 31, 1706 in Marksuhl near Eisenach), court school and money collector in the official staff of Duke Johann Georg I (Saxony-Eisenach) (1634-1686). Johann Georg Sckell, on the other hand, is not to be confused with his grandson, the landscape gardener Johann Georg Sckell (1725–1800).

He was married to Dorothea Regina Petri (1702–1760), the daughter of the court gardener Johann Nikolaus Petri .

Live and act

Johann Valentin Sckell is considered to be the progenitor of the gardener and painter family Sckell , which played a particularly prominent role in classical Weimar . It started with his son Johann Georg Sckell . There are also other members of the family who came into the office of game master. First, there were his son Johann Georg Christian Sckell , who was the chief forester and game master in Troistedt , and second, his brother Johann Ludwig Gottlieb Sckell , who was 19 years younger than him , was again chief forester and game master in Troistedt.

In 1762, Sckell filed a lawsuit for damages because of the financial losses he had suffered in his capacity as chief forester during the Seven Years' War . That should be related to the billeting in Marksuhl. In 1757, according to a file, his son had a clash with a French soldier. According to the files, the escaping French soldiers did not simply leave their rifles lying around in Marksuhl or took them with them, but even sold them to the residents of Marksuhl, as the title of the file in question reveals.

Occasionally, Carl August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe were guests in Marksuhl , as his diaries a. a. of September 1777 betrayed. It was certainly not the case with Johann Valentin Sckell, but with his son Johann Ludwig Gottlieb Sckell , who had also worked in Marksuhl since 1769 before he became chief forester and game master in Troistedt in 1778.
