In 1559 he was employed for a period of eight years as the preceptor (teacher) of Count Anton von Ortenburg (1550–1573) and Count Maximilian Fugger (1550–1588), who later became Commander of the Teutonic Order in Sterzing , who worked together at studied at the University of Ingolstadt .

In 1561/62 they studied in Bourges , which they fled after the bloodbath of Wassy at the outbreak of the First Huguenot War in May 1562, then in Strasbourg . On the return trip, Count Anton and Röttinger spoke to Duke Christoph von Württemberg in Stuttgart , and in April 1563 they reached the Mattighofen Castle in Ortenburg .

Ortenburg aristocratic conspiracy

During the so-called " Ortenburg Aristocratic Conspiracy " in 1563/64, Sebastian Röttinger supported Count Joachim von Ortenburg (1530–1600) by preparing publications and, together with secretary Hans Hager, creating a list of code names and terms in the event of imprisonment. Röttinger was present on New Year's Eve 1563/64 as the preceptor of the young count Anton at the forcible opening of Neu-Ortenburg Castle ordered by Albrecht V of Bavaria (1528–1579) by the ducal councilor Hans Neuchinger († 1582) and protested together with the count's caretaker Trojanus Zinner against the occupation.

Continuation of the activity as private tutor

In 1564 Röttinger traveled with his student Anton von Ortenburg and the court master Paul von Welsberg († 1588) to study in Tübingen (matriculation on October 29) and in 1566 to Orléans . In 1566 Röttinger was deputy to the curator of the German nation in Orléans, Johann Conrad Meyer (1544-1604). In Orléans, he entered the register of Dietrich von Ketteler.

Then Röttinger accompanied the young count on his gentlemanly journey through Italy ( Padua , probably Rome , Siena ). In August 1569, in Regensburg , Röttinger signed the farewell of the Bavarian Empire for Count Joachim von Ortenburg . In October 1569, Count Joachim von Ortenburg had to issue “the Preceptor of his son Sebastian Röttinger, Doctor”, a bond for 900 guilders because he was no longer able to pay him salaries, clothes and interest.

Nuremberg Consiliarius?

Sebastian "Rödinger" seems to have been a temporary council consultant in Nuremberg ; as such it is written on a handwritten in ink “from A °. 1570 ”dated portrait drawing. Since there is no other evidence of Röttinger's activity in Nuremberg, it is likely that Noribergensis and Norlingensis were confused .

Nordlinger Syndic

On May 17, 1570, Röttinger became a syndic in Nördlingen and took part in the same year together with Mayor Peter Seng the Elder. Ä. (1512–1589) participated in the Reichstag in Speyer (July 13 to December 13).

In 1571 he obtained safe conduct for the merchants who went to the fair at the imperial court in Prague against the resistance of the Oettinger , in whose area Nördlingen formed an enclave . Röttinger and Mayor Seng then concluded settlements for the city of Nördlingen in Ingolstadt in 1573 and in Wemding in 1577 with the Counts of Oettingen because of various neighborhood and taxation disputes.

In 1573 Sebastian Röttinger was accepted as counsel and lawyer in the knightly canton of Kocher of the Swabian Imperial Knighthood, but apparently soon retired from the service. Under Röttinger's leadership, the knighthood emphasized its independence from the Duchy of Württemberg . Röttinger also received appointments as councilor of the emperor and archduke of Austria Maximilian II and as councilor of the Palatinate .

In January 1575, Mayor Georg Schmidt called Haider († 1588) and lawyer Sebastian Röttinger attended the wedding of Count Gottfried von Oettingen-Oettingen (1554–1622) and Countess Johanna von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg (1557–1585) as emissaries of the city of Nördlingen in Oettingen ) part. In 1575/76 Röttinger and the Augsburg lawyer Dr. Georg Tradel (1530–1598) took the imperial city of Aalen against its patron saint, the prince-provost of Ellwangen , when the Reformation was introduced. In Regensburg Town Hall jurists Sebastian Röttinger, Balthasar, Melchior presented by Kestlan (Kesstlan, Kastelan) and Georg Rusdorfer (Ruestorfer from Russdorf) († after 1594) on the occasion of the electoral day and the election of the king Rudolf II. The Kurmainzer Chancellor Dr. Christoph Faber († around 1601) wrote a letter from Count Joachim von Ortenburg in November 1575 because of the claims to power over the imperial county of Ortenburg .

Röttinger represented the cities of Nördlingen and Bopfingen in 1576 at the Regensburg Reichstag . In 1576 he was appointed by the Swabian knighthood as a “five-place consultant” of their cantons. In 1577, the Nördlinger advocate Sebastian Rettinger worked in Dietenhofen as "Commissarius" of the Imperial Court of Justice with the clarification of a compensation dispute between the cousins ​​Matthias von Leonrod († 1579) to Dennenlohe and Cronheim, Philipp von Leonrod († 1593) as the owner of the sheep to Neudorf and Rüdern and Elector Georg Friedrich I of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach (1539-1603), whose hunting ground was injured in that two unleashed Shepherds 1570 a deer had torn from regular weight. In Wallerstein in 1577 he helped to mediate a comparison between the rule of Diemantstein and the Counts of Oettingen over rights in Diemantstein , Leiheim and Oberringingen .

In 1578 Sebastian Röttinger traveled to the imperial court in Prague and achieved that "a whole truche of Acta and Privilegia" of the knighthood was confirmed. Erhard Cellius mentioned the Nördlinger Syndikus Röttinger with praise in a Tübingen congratulatory letter, Nikolaus von Reusner paid tribute to him in a poem.

Röttinger and the councilor and later mayor Karl Gundelfinger (1542–1592), whose widow Dorothea died in custody in 1594 and was burned as a witch, were envoys of the city of Nördlingen in 1582 for the last Reichstag in Augsburg .

In May 1584 Röttinger was a representative of the imperial cities on the commission of the imperial estates that visited the imperial court in Speyer . In July 1584, Röttinger certified a cartographic recording ( Wildbanngranitzkarte ) of the Fraunhofen dominion by the Regensburg painter Hieronymus van de Venne (von Devenne) in a trial led by Anna von Fraunhofen , Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria and their heirs before the Imperial Court of Justice . In a dispute between the Eichstätt monastery and the Pappenheim rule , Sebastian Röttinger inspected a part of the Raitenbuch forest near Weißenburg in 1587 as the imperial commissioner ; Johann Alacra (Alakraw, Allakra) († after 1592) acted as his adjunct .

Witch trials

Röttinger is considered one of the most zealous German witch hunters. He took part in the embarrassing interrogation of the victims of the Nördlinger witch hunt, including the interrogations of Maria Holl and Barbara Lierheimer . He was supported in the witch trials mainly by his colleague, the councilor Wolfgang Graf († 1608), Mayor Johannes Pferdeinger (around 1533–1604), town clerk Paul Maier († 1590) and the expert Georg Tradel from Augsburg. The Nördlinger Superintendent Wilhelm Friedrich Lutz (1551–1597), who preached against the persecution of witches, could not stop the persecution. From 1589 to 1598 , 34 women and one man died at the stake in Nördlingen . In the trial of Maria Holl, who withstood all torture, even Röttinger and Tradel established the innocence of the accused woman in their legal opinions in 1594.

In the trial against the single seamstress Walpurga Hoppenhans from Hainbach (= Ober- / Untertal ), who did not make a confession despite torture and was later released against the original feud, Röttinger was asked in 1596 by the city council of Esslingen for an opinion on promising interrogation techniques alongside the torture.

Lawyer for the Imperial Knighthood

In a letter from the district on the Danube of the Swabian Imperial Knighthood to the knightly canton of Kocher, the participation of his lawyer Röttinger in the Correspondence Day of the Free Imperial Cities in Speyer zu Bartholomäi (August 24th) 1588 is announced. Sebastian Röttinger and Johann Gundelfinger from Nördlingen belonged to a delegation of the city ​​council that met in Speyer in August 1590 , which tried to mediate a comparison between the Catholic city council and the Protestant citizenship in Augsburg , which, however, only came about the following year. In October 1590, Röttinger was appointed to a commission from a correspondence day in Heilbronn , which was supposed to submit complaints from the three knight circles of Swabia, Franconia and the Rhine River to Emperor Rudolf II (1552-1612).

In 1591, Röttinger was granted the dignity of the Count Palatine (Comes palatinus) in Prague by Emperor Rudolf II with the right to confer the coat of arms. He participated in 1594 for Nördlingen and also in the name of the cities of Offenburg and Gengenbach together with the councilor Thomas Dithei and in 1603 together with the Nördlingen mayor Johann Wilhelm Gundelfinger (1561-1630) in the Reichstag in Regensburg.

In 1594, Sebastian Röttingen represented Hieronymus von Diemantstein at a conference in Oettingen in a dispute with Count Gottfried von Oettingen-Oettingen (1554–1622), who was represented by his Chancellor Jakob Moser (1527–1595), about the lower jurisdiction "except Etters " of the Münsterstein goods. In January 1595 Röttinger in Ulm was one of the authors and signatories of a "protest" by the evangelical estates of the Swabian Empire , which denied that the Constance Bishop Andreas of Austria after the childless death of Duke Ludwig of Württemberg (1554–1593) had sole ownership of the district directorate previously shared with Württemberg (district tenderer). In a conflict over the rule of Eglingen between the barons of Grafeneck and Pfalz-Neuburg , Sebastian Röttinger was one of the arbitrators appointed by the Imperial Court of Justice in 1595.

In 1603, Röttinger donated 3000 guilders to a study scholarship for Nördlingen citizens' sons. The bailiff Johann Otter d. Ä. In Ragnit an der Memel in Brandenburg-Prussia - the father of the mathematician Christian Otter - and his brothers Otter called "Leh (en) mann", some of whom lived in Goldkronach in Upper Franconia in the margraviate of Brandenburg-Kulmbach , he awarded a coat of arms in 1606. Shortly before his death, in February 1608, Sebastian Röttinger represented the abbess Apollonia Schrötl († 1631) of the Cistercian monastery of the Assumption of Mary in Kirchheim am Ries as legal advisor against interest claims from Jewish bankers.

Röttinger was friends with the composer Orlando di Lasso (1532–1594).

family

Sebastian Röttinger was married since 1571 to Ursula Steck († 1590), widowed Schertlin, from Cannstatt and since 1591 in second marriage to Maria Hardesheim (1569–1617), daughter of Christoph Herdesianus (Hardesheim) (1523–1585) from Nuremberg. His son Christoph Rödinger (* 1592; † 1627), matriculated in Siena in 1614, Cornet in Nuremberg, married Maria Pfinzing von Henfenfeld (1600–1632) from Nuremberg in 1616, daughter of councilor Georg Pfinzing von Henfenfeld (1568–1631). The sons Sebastian and Philipp died in childhood in 1600, a fourth son - Christian - and a daughter from a second marriage had already died in 1608.

A wooden epitaph for Sebastian Röttinger, Ursula Steck and Maria Hardesheim with paintings by Hans Simon Metzger (1586–1629) on the story of Job and the resurrection of Christ is on the south wall of the choir of St. George's Church . The family is also represented on the epitaph; the deceased children are each marked with a cross.
