Life

Bacmeister was the son of the Rostock university rector and personal physician Johann Bacmeister the Younger and Sophie Hedwig Wolffrat (1632–1676) and a member of the prestigious Bacmeister family of theologians and lawyers . He studied law first at the University of Helmstedt under Hermann Conring and then at the University of Tübingen , where he successfully completed his studies in 1677. Due to the great Rostock city fire in the same year, which led to the loss of a large part of the assets and books of his father Johann Bacmeister , he could no longer be supported by him. Thanks to the help and mediation of influential colleagues and his cousin working in Württemberg, the senior councilor Heinrich Bacmeister and his family, Bacmeister received a position as court master and was able to study at the universities in Altdorf near Nuremberg, Leipzig and Strasbourg, where he also wrote his dissertation in 1682 wrote, continue.

Then he returned to Germany and was appointed by Jakob Friedrich Rühle as secretary and lawyer in the service of the Swabian circles and the Duchy of Württemberg . As part of this activity, he was employed several times by the provisional regent Friedrich Carl von Württemberg and his official successor Eberhard Ludwig von Württemberg as envoy of Württemberg at district meetings and at the imperial court.

This led to his promotion to senior councilor in 1690 and five years later to his appointment as syndic of the Swabian districts by the Duke of Württemberg. In 1702 he was promoted to the Secret Legation Council and a few months later to the Real Secret Regimental Council. Emperor Leopold I was also impressed by Bacmeister's commitment and raised him to hereditary nobility as early as 1701. In addition, the emperor offered him the office of Reichshofrat several times, which Bacmeister did not take over until 1710 after careful consideration. A few years earlier, in 1706, he was accepted as a member of the imperial knighthood at the 5th local conference in Ulm and received a seat and vote for the knight canton of Kocher . Johann von Bacmeister died on January 22, 1711 after a protracted illness as a late consequence of an inadequately treated tooth ulcer, which he had suffered from since 1701.

Johann von Bacmeister was married to Johanna Keller, with whom he had two daughters: Maria Hedwig, married to the Chief Justice Officer Friedrich Ludwig von Maskosky, and Anna Johanna, married to Colonel Eberhard von Geißberg.
