Julius Bernhard von Rohr

Julius Bernhard von Rohr (born March 28, 1688 in Elsterwerda , † April 18, 1742 in Leipzig ) was a Saxon camerawoman , a natural scientist in the early days of the Enlightenment and as a writer one of the most famous authors of German household literature .

Life

He was the son of the manor owner Julius Albert von Rohr and Christine geb. of pipe. On his father's estate Elsterwerda raised and educated, he attended from 1705, the University of Leipzig to law study. In addition, he heard u. a. also science lectures. After graduating in 1710, he went on several trips to Hamburg and to Frankfurt am Main to be elected emperor . In 1712 he returned to Leipzig to continue his studies, where he submitted a second dissertation.

After the sudden death of his father, who had to sell the family estate Elsterwerda because of debts , he turned down the inheritance and was now forced to look for a living for himself. He started giving lessons and published several papers. Since he had publicly sided with Christian Wolff , he was suspected of having been the author of a diatribe against Nikolaus Hieronymus Gundling , but this should not have been the case. However, this made his career difficult for him, so that he left Electoral Saxony in 1713 and temporarily went to Holland and Hanover . In 1714 he returned and was initially an assessor in the monastery and hereditary government of Merseburg . In 1726 he was transferred to Lower Lusatia , which at that time belonged to the Duchy of Saxony-Merseburg . In 1731 he became chamber councilor of the Duke of Saxony-Merseburg, and in 1732 he acquired a canon position at the cathedral chapter of Merseburg, which was connected with his relocation to Merseburg. In 1738 he retired.

After a troubled relationship with a lady, to whom he set an inglorious memorial in his legal treatise on the deception at the Heyrathen , he only married Anna Rebekka Köhler shortly before his death. From this marriage comes the son Julius Philipp von Rohr, who later became a doctor in Halle (Saale) .

In addition to his cameralistic and scientific publications, Julius Bernhard von Rohr made a lasting name for himself with his two contemporary travel guides for the Upper and Lower Harz Mountains.
