Coat of arms of the Steinacker family

Philipp Steinacker (* around 1565 in Quedlinburg ; † June 2, 1613 in Coburg ) was a German legal scholar .

family

Philipp Steinacker came from the middle-class Steinacker family, which has been documented in Quedlinburg since the beginning of the 16th century . The uninterrupted lineage begins with his grandfather Hans Steinacker, who was councilor and treasurer of the city of Quedlinburg in 1530 .

Philipp Steinacker was the son of Quedlinburg councilor and treasurer Christian Steinacker († 1579) and his wife Anna nee. Kalw († 1594). His father was enfeoffed in 1574 "by the mayor of both cities Quedlinburgk instead of and because of the Marschalckambts of the free secular monastery Quedlinburgk" with a hoof of land. Steinacker had two brothers:

From Steinacker's marriage to Christina, born in Wittenberg in 1592 . Dorbencker (1555–1608), daughter of the Pegau mayor and bailiff Ambrosius Dorbencker († 1578), had three children, including:

  • Sabina Steinacker (1595–1640), later wife of the Römhilder Stadtphysicus Johannes May ,
  • Johannes Steinacker, studied at the University of Jena. After the death of his uncle Christian, he sold the Steinacker property that had fallen to him.

Life

Not much is known about Steinacker's early years. On June 22, 1583 he appears for the first time at the University of Helmstedt to study law . In July 1585 he moved to the University of Wittenberg and matriculated there with his brother Christian. In 1590 all brothers were enfeoffed with the hoof of their deceased father. Steinacker left the university in 1591 when he became Doctor of Laws doctorate was. In 1597 he was appointed lawyer at the court in Wittenberg .

At the beginning of 1606 the previous professor at the Schöppenstuhl , Elias Friedrich Volckenannt, died in Coburg . A successor was required for the vacant position, who “does not only have rights that are more commonly described, but also the Saxon Proceß, which can also be of use to other important matters related to the same in the court yard and the Schoppenstuhl”. Philipp Steinacker was then proposed by the assessor of the Electoral Saxon Higher Court in Leipzig , Michael Wirth . In November 1606 the two of them met in Leipzig, where Steinacker made it clear that he was not interested in being recalled to Coburg. However, on the orders of Elector Christian II , he could no longer refuse the offer for Coburg. Nevertheless, he decided not to move until Easter 1607, as this seemed too difficult for his family in the winter. On June 3, 1607, he was appointed full professor of the court and Schöppenstuhl in Coburg; his salary amounted to an impressive 300 guilders a year. On the same day between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., he took his oath of service in the presence of Chancellor Volkmar Scherer in the government's “larger town hall”. In the same year he was also appointed to the Princely Saxon Council, responsible for the imperial court in Speyer and for secret matters .

The grave of Philipp and Christina Steinacker in the Salvatorfriedhof in Coburg has not survived, only the gravestones of his son-in-law Johannes May from 1671 and his granddaughter Anna Sabina Gihnlein from 1706 still refer to them.
