Joseph Hettler (born February 25, 1566 in Nürtingen , † May 17, 1605 in Prague ) was a lawyer and chancellor of the margraviate of Baden-Durlach .

Life

Hettler obtained his doctorate in law in Tübingen in 1587 . On November 8, 1588, Margrave Ernst Friedrich - who led the guardianship government for his brother, Georg Friedrich - appointed him Landschreiber of the Oberamt Rötteln and in 1597 was named as the owner of the moated castle in Steinen .

When he reached the age of majority (1595), Margrave Georg Friedrich took control of the upper Margraviate of Baden-Durlach and initially ruled from Rötteln Castle. Hettler was commissioned to apply to the emperor for the enfeoffment of Georg Friedrich, which took place in 1595. On December 15, 1595, Hettler and his father received an imperial letter of nobility and coat of arms. In 1599 Georg Friedrich moved his residence and the entire state administration to Sulzburg . As early as 1600 Margrave Ernst Friedrich's health was so critical that Georg Friedrich von Hettler had an expert report on the occupation of Upper Baden drawn up. Hettler came to the conclusion that after the death of Ernst Friedrich, Georg Friedrich could occupy the margraviate of Baden-Baden without fear of sequestration .

Hettler became the Privy Councilor and Chancellor of Margrave Georg Friedrich, based in Sulzburg. Emperor Rudolf II awarded him the small Palatinate in 1601 , which u. a. was associated with the freedom from red wax . When Margrave Ernst Friedrich died in 1604, Margrave Georg Friedrich sent his Chancellor Hettler to Prague to see the emperor in 1605 in order to receive the enfeoffment for the lower margravate ruled by Ernst Friedrich and the occupied margraviate of Baden-Baden . The loan took place on February 26, 1605 under certain conditions. On May 17, 1605, Hettler died in Prague.
