Life

Paul Wenzel Seeling's origin is unknown, but it is assumed that the rent and forest clerk David Seeling († before 1669 in St. Joachimsthal), who used the same seal as he, was his brother.

Around 1653, Seeling was employed as an imperial forest rider in St. Joachimsthal, Platten and Gottesgab and was therefore responsible as a forest official for the supervision and maintenance of the forests. Because of an excess he had been arrested in 1655 in St. Joachimsthal and punished with a payment of 10 guilders. From 1659 to 1668 Seeling held the office of city judge in Platten.

On August 28, 1668, Seeling took over the post of mint master and mint administrator from the resigned Johann Jacob Küttner. As a master's mark , the groschen minted under his administration show an hourglass. His successor, the potion tax collector Johann Jacob Macasius, had groschen minted in small numbers for a few months in 1670. The coin business was finally stopped entirely. From 1669 Seeling took over the function of the imperial border customs collector in Platten and was appointed city judge for the second time from 1677 to 1678.

On February 17, 1677, Seeling acquired the glassworks and blue paint works from Georg Preussler for 1000 thalers and sold them on August 24, 1681 to the court advisor of Schlackenwerth Johann Wilhelm von Steinhofer for 1800 florins. After the death of the miner Peter Kuhn , Seeling was ordered in 1682 the Bohemian Chamber also conferred the ministry of mining in Platten.

Shortly before his death on March 11, 1693, the imperial chief mint master's office in Prague issued the decree: In view of his fifty years service as a forest ranger and due to his old age, his designated successor Johann Friedrich Hacker should only receive half an annual salary of 137 fl ., but Seeling is granted the full annual salary as a forest ranger and mountain master of 275 florins for life.

Seeling died on August 18, 1693 at the age of 76 and was buried two days later in the parish church of Platten between the altar and the sermon chair. His wife Rosina was buried there on January 11, 1697.
