Leonard Leopold Maldoner (born August 16, 1694 in Waldshut , † October 16, 1765 in Pruntrut ) was a West Austrian- German and Swiss archivist and historian .

Life

Leopold Leonard Maldoner was born in Waldshut in 1694 as the son of the Freiburg court advisor and court clerk Johann Franz Maldoner and Maria Anna Oechlin. The father had been transferred to Waldshut due to the French occupation of Freiburg.

From 1710 to 1712 Leopold Leonard Maldoner studied physics and logic at the University of Freiburg . Around 1717 he entered the service of the Austrian government and specialized in archives. From 1741 to 1742 he rearranged the archive of the University of Freiburg (Registerium from 1742) and from 1747 to 1749 the archive of the city of Freiburg . After a falling out with his employer, Leopold Leonard Maldoner went to Pruntrut as archivist in 1749 at the archives of the Prince-Bishops of Basel, who had been in exile since 1529 .

From 1752 onwards, Maldoner reorganized the archives of the prince-bishops by making a fundamental separation that still exists today. Under A "Spritualia" spiritual and under B "Temporalia" secular writings and documents were filed alphabetically after further subdivision into subdivisions.

Leopold Leonard Maldoner wrote several historical works about Breisgau and the cities of Freiburg im Breisgau and Basel that have not yet been published . In particular, the four volumes on the history of the Breisgau are of great regional historical importance, since for the first time a comprehensive listing of documents and sources is intended.
