Johann von Bötticher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Otto Christoph von Bötticher (born March 25, 1662 in Bleicherode , † November 17, 1728 in Nordhausen ) was a German politician and both councilor and mayor of Nordhausen.

Life

Johann von Bötticher was born as the son of the lawyer and town clerk of Bleicherode Christian von Bötticher (1625–1682) from the old Boetticher family and his wife Katharina Klapproth.

He moved from Bleicherode to Nordhausen after his father accepted an appointment as a clerk in the St. Martin Hospital, and attended school there. In 1676, at the age of 14, he went to Osterode to complete six years of commercial training. In 1682 he returned to Nordhausen and served in the trading house of the dressmaker Johann Kaspar Arens (1650–1704). When Arens became mayor of the city in 1687, he installed Bötticher as custodian of his trading house and his goods. In the year after Aren's death and the liquidation of his inheritance, Bötticher was elected master of the trade guild in 1705 and councilor of the city of Nordhausen in 1717. In 1727 he finally became mayor and held this office for two years until he died of a stroke in 1728.

family

Johann von Bötticher married Anna Margarethe Seume on April 8, 1691, with whom he had six children, three of whom reached adulthood: Johann Justus (1690–1761), Anna Magdalena (1703–1791) and Christian Wilhelm (1706–1785) .
