Thomas Heigl

Thomas Heigl (* 1771 in Wackersberg ; † 1829 in Freising ) was mayor of Freising from 1813 to 1825 .

Thomas Heigl came to the prince-bishop's court in Freising as a building expert in 1797. He remained in office even after secularization in Bavaria , which in 1802 meant the end of the Freising Monastery. He also worked as a master bricklayer. Having achieved wealth and reputation through office and work, he became major of the newly founded vigilante group in Freising in 1811 and, as successor to Ignaz Zehetmayr, mayor of Freising.

In 1825 Johann Einsele was his successor in the office of mayor. Heigl resumed his entrepreneurial activity and was awarded the contract to build the hospital on Kammergasse (today the VHS building), but died before its completion at the age of 58.

Heigl was married twice. His first wife Antonia died in 1812 at the age of only 36. Of the five children, only one son survived. His second marriage to Katharina Leithäuser was probably childless.
