Michael Jesslin
Michael Jesslin (* 1597 in Heilbronn ; † April 13, 1677 ibid) was mayor of the Free Imperial City of Heilbronn from 1648 to 1677 .
Life
From 1632, Jesslin was a member of the politically insignificant Great Council of the Imperial City of Heilbronn. In 1635 he was accepted into the mighty little patrician council, was tax master from 1643 and mayor from 1648 until his death. His more than 40 years as a member of one of the Heilbronn councilors came at a difficult time for the city. During the Thirty Years' War , Heilbronn was temporarily occupied by the French and Swedes and turned into a bulwark.
Jesslin was the owner of the “rose pharmacy” and the fountain in Rosengasse and married Margarete Sigelin, with whom he had a daughter, Anna Maria. Anna Maria Jesslin married JG Becht, a grandson of the former mayor Georg Becht , and the mayor August Friedrich Mockel in her second marriage . These weddings were politically significant, as people in law could also find admission to the patrician council.
