Life and meaning

Pierre Jérémie Hainchelin (1727–1787) attended the Joachimsthaler Gymnasium in Berlin, and from 1746 studied law in Halle and Göttingen .

In 1749 he entered the Prussian administrative service. First he was secretary to the Prince of Prussia August Wilhelm von Prussia (1722–1758), who was intended as a brother to the childless King Frederick the Great as heir to the throne. From then on, political contradictions arose between the brothers. The King mentioned Hainchelin in his conversations with his reader Henri de Catt , in which he said that if his brother in Oranienburg only had his adjutant Hagen, his secretary Hainchelin and a few honest people around him, his life would be calmer and his disposition was not so hostile to him. Prince August Wilhelm died broken body and soul in 1758 after the lost battle of Kolín in the Seven Years' War .

In 1766, Hainchelin was the chief curator at the General-Excise and Hauptkasse with the title " Privy Council of War ". He was also appointed controleur for the Prussian Lottery , which was introduced in 1763. From 1774 he was a member of the excise and customs administration and in 1776 was promoted to the finance council of the "Regie" (financial administration). He took over the post as sub-director for West Prussian matters, but then asked Minister Hans Ernst Dietrich von Werder to protect him and his former colleagues from unjustified attacks from the audience. In the same year the direction was dissolved and Hainchelin was taken over into the IV. Department of the General-Ober-Finanz-Kriegs- und Domainen-Directory , which was responsible for West Prussia.

On a part-time basis or on a voluntary basis, Hainchelin was the first director of the French Timber Society, which had the task of delivering firewood to destitute members of the French parish, director of the French orphanage and the “École de Charité” (School of Mercy for Poor Children) in Berlin.

In 1787 he died after 40 years of service.
