Johannes von Jenner (* 1735 in Bern , † 1787 in Lindau ; citizen of Bern) was a Swiss magistrate.

Life

Johannes von Jenner was born the son of Bailiff Adrian (III.) Von Jenner (1693–1788) and Marianne Müller. From 1771 he worked as a salt bookkeeper in Bern, married his distant cousin Marianne von Jenner (1754–1728) in 1772, joined the city council in 1775 and was finally appointed in 1780 as salt treasurer. In this capacity, as envoy in Paris and Bavaria, he negotiated salt deliveries for the state of Bern. His brother-in-law Gottlieb Abraham von Jenner accompanied him on the trip to Munich and Mannheim in 1781. In connection with this embassy, Karl Theodor , Elector of the Palatinate and Bavaria, presented him with an extensive porcelain service from the Frankenthal manufactory . After Jenner embezzled money from the Bernese Salzkasse, he fled to Lindau , where he struck down with a bullet in 1787.

Parts of the service are now in the collections of the Bernisches Historisches Museum (exhibited in Oberhofen Castle ), the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums and are privately owned.
