Life

Josef von Teng grew up in Passau and received instruction in Latin classes and studied at the Landshut University of Law . He practiced at the royal district court in the Munich suburb of Au and as a city court assessor in Burghausen , Eichstätt and Munich. In Munich, von Teng finally rose to the position of city judge and then to the alternating court assessor. In 1818 von Teng was promoted to a legally qualified magistrate and in 1833 was elected to the post of second mayor. After the death of his predecessor Franz Paul von Mittermayr , von Teng took over the office of the first legally qualified mayor for almost a year. His term of office was characterized in particular by the conflict between Ludwig I and the city administration, as the needs of the citizens diverged with the royal demands on the architectural design. In Munich, which was then declared bankrupt, he could hardly set standards. Because of the financial crisis in the city, taxes were increased sharply under Teng. Teng was already ailing when he was appointed mayor and was in office for barely a year.
