from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Hartmann (born 1662 in Fontanella , Großes Walsertal in Vorarlberg ; died May 17, 1732 in Vienna ) was an Austrian politician, judge and mayor of Vienna. Coming from a farming family, he held various positions in the course of his life, including: lawyer, judge, city councilor and twice mayor of Vienna.

Life

According to recent investigations of the baptismal registers in the parishes of Sonntag , Fontanella and Damüls , Josef Hartmann is said to have been baptized in Damüls on August 25, 1662. The father was therefore Peter Hartmann (son of Josef Hartmann and Katharina Hartmannin. Peter was baptized on February 11, 1625 in Sonntag, died July 1, 1691 in Fontanella), married since May 29, 1650 to Afra Domigin (born at 1623, d. July 4, 1681 on Alpe Kriegboden). There were four children from this marriage. Josef Hartman therefore had three siblings, Christian (baptized: September 8, 1651 in Damüls, died September 17, 1676 in Fontanella), Maria (baptized: March 24, 1653 in Sonntag) and another Maria (baptized: January 6 1657 in Sunday).

Josef Hartmann was a doctor of law . Where Hartmann completed his studies and received the title of Dr. jur. obtained is unknown. In 1702 he became a judge writer in Vienna ( civil servant ). In 1703 he received the citizenship of Vienna and in 1704 became a member of the city court. In 1708 he became a counterhandler. In 1710 he became a member of the Inner Council and was a member of the Vienna City Council for thirty years. 1713–1716 and 1721–1724 he was city judge, 1717–1720 and 1725/1726 mayor of Vienna.

The first Viennese building code created in 1725 is said to be largely due to Hartmann.

Hartmann married Maria Anna Puechenegg (died May 20, 1730) on December 3, 1712 in the church of St. Stephan. From 1721 the family lived in an official apartment in Vienna's inner city ( Am Hof No. 9). The marriage had four children.

capital

Hartmann was considered very enterprising and wealthy. 1712 z. B. he bought a vacant lot on which a building by the builder Jakob Oeckhl (Palais Oeckhl) was built around 1724 . At his death in 1732 he left a fortune of over 130,000 guilders, almost half of which should have consisted of fixed-interest bonds (Oberkammeramt, Stadtbanco). He owned two houses in the inner city and each of the children is said to have inherited 3,200 guilders in cash.
