Live and act

family

Heberer came from a family whose members have rendered services to the public good and various free and imperial cities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation for more than a hundred years .

His father was the lawyer Lic. Johann Philipp Heberer , high princely Eichstädter and high countess Pappenheimisch highly respectable counselor and then the oldest consultant and syndicus in the imperial city Weissenburg . His older brother Lic. Wolfgang Wilhelm Heberer (* 1659 † 1721) was the Royal Polish, Electoral, Saxon and Hofgräfliche Pappenheimische Rat, Syndicus, Konsistorialpräsident a. Fief of provost and quartermaster of the Holy Roman Empire .

After the early death of his father, in 1702 he married Rosina Elisabeth Götze, the daughter of the respected Nuremberg merchant Johann Christoph Götze and his wife Anna Elisabetha nee. Albrecht, who died in 1716 after having 7 children. He then married the widow of the consistorial councilor Meyer from Ansbach in 1718. From the 1st marriage u. a. Sabina Rosina Heberer (1710–1767) emerged, who was married to the court, chamber and landscape councilor in Ansbach Johann Friedrich Cramer (1706–1768), the father of the later court councilor in Glogau Carl Christoph Cramer (1750–1827).

Life and meaning

Heberer attended the Lyceum in Weißenburg under the rector Georg Michael Nuding (1627–1703). For further training he came to his brother Wolfgang Wilhelm Heberer in Pappenheim , who taught him the Latin language in preparation for legal activity and taught him what he needed for future legal activity. Through his brother he also got to know the then ruling Reichserbmarschall Graf von Pappenheim , who took the 15-year-old Heberer to Augsburg for the coronation of the Habsburg Joseph I as Roman Emperor in 1690 . At the coronation ceremonies, Heberer made such a good impression in general that he was considered fit to begin his academic studies. First he studied philosophy at the University of Jena with professors Johann Paul Hebenstreit (1664–1719) and Treiner and at the same time law a. a. with Professors Nikolaus Christoph Lyncker and Christian Wildvogel. After 3 years of study, his father accepted him into his office for an internship. An epileptic fit then interrupted his practical training. But he survived the illness happily, so that he put his dissertation on adoption law on paper, enrolled as a candidate in the law faculty of the Nuremberg University in Altdorf and, after passing the exams, defended his dissertation with praise (cum applausu) in February 1699 and with it finished his academic studies. He then went on a study trip abroad and visited the Imperial Court in Vienna, where he learned the imperial Reichshofrat style and procedural law before the Reichshofrat. He traveled through Hungary and Bohemia and stayed for some time in the Electoral Saxon Residence in Dresden , where he had the opportunity to talk to people of all classes and acquired the further ability to practice law, so that he was unanimously approved by the Council of Weissenburg as early as 1701 His father's successor was elected and the following year he took office as municipal consultant.

28 years after the judgment in the funeral sermon he practiced this office with success, honestly, faithfully and honestly. In addition to providing general legal advice, his duties included representing the city of Weißenburg in negotiations with the neighboring Princely Courts and participating in the Franconian district convents in Nuremberg.

His activity was overshadowed by a process before the Reichshofrat in Vienna, which citizens of the city of Weißenburg had brought against the magistrate of the city of Weißenburg in 1692, which seemed to be concluded by a decision of the Reichshofrat in 1694, but expanded and without a final decision with the Dissolution of the Reichshofrat in 1802 came to a standstill. The subjects of the accusations were alleged economic grievances, waste of public money, close family ties between the council members and personal allegations against the syndic Johann Wolfgang Heberer and later against his successor.
