Johannes Scheyring (theologian)
Johann (es) Scheyring (Ziering) (* 1454 in Wemding , † 1516 in Halberstadt ) was rector of the University of Leipzig and later canon of Magdeburg and Halberstadt .
A portrait created by Lucas Cranach the Elder in 1529 , which is in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels and which later depicts Scheyring, was depicted on the 1000 Deutsche Mark banknote from 1964 to 1992 . There are, however, doubts about the identity of the person depicted; it could also be Scheyring's contemporary, the astronomer and mathematician Johannes Schöner (1477–1547).
Since Johannes Scheyring had no descendants, he founded the Ziering Family Foundation in his will in 1516 . Until after the First World War, the latter awarded the descendants of the brother Emeran Ziering (1464–1547) scholarships for young men and dowry assistance for young women. The City Council of Magdeburg wanted to dissolve the foundation in 1955 for political reasons; At the end of 2007, however, the foundation supervision of the state of Saxony-Anhalt determined that the dissolution was already ineffective under the then applicable law and that the foundation therefore continues to exist. The Ziering'sche Family Foundation was reactivated as an existing family foundation under civil law on December 22, 2010 by being entered in the foundation register of the State of Saxony-Anhalt.
The only surviving child of Emeran Ziering was Johannes Scheyring (Ziering) (1505–1555), the nephew of Johannes Scheyring (1454–1516).
Descendants from Johannes Scheyring's family included the wife of Otto von Guericke , Johann Friedrich Böttger , Gustav Nachtigal and Wilhelm Krelle .
