Coat of arms of Thomas Scheitenberger

Thomas Scheitenberger was a German bailiff and judge in the first half of the 17th century.

Life

Originally from the Swabian town of Jettingen , Thomas Scheitenberger enrolled at the Catholic University of Dillingen on June 9, 1586, probably at the age of 14, to study ecclesiastical and secular law.

Thomas Scheitenberger was a direct descendant of King Gallus Scheitenberger, Vogtseggian, who in 1539 gave Emperor Charles V in Toledo a coat of arms because of his services to the Holy Roman Empire and his clever, right-wing advice, which he gave to the Emperor as a lawyer . Thomas Scheitenberger also carried this vertically divided coat of arms emblazoned in black and gold, which shows two crossed logs in red and green over a green three-mountain in the shield. Even during his studies, Thomas Scheitenberger wore in the stud book one of Stephan Kling brain, which we handed a painted picture of the led by him arms.

Thomas Scheitenberger's brother Johann Scheitenberger, who also studied at the University of Dillingen, was administrator of the Gnadenkapelle in Altötting from the 1620s to the 1640s . Her cousin Philipp Scheitenberger was a servant of the Fugger von der Lilie at the end of the 17th century .

From 1620 to 1632 Thomas Scheitenberger was Vogt of the Baumgarten part of the Kißlegg rule . In this office he was mainly active in the administration of criminal justice, in the execution and management of general administrative tasks as well as in advising and representing the local government. Special merits are awarded to Scheitenberger in the legal representation of Maria Countess zu Hohenems, née zu Baumgarten, towards the barons of Schellenberg as owners of the other part of the rule in the Kissleggic cause .

After his post as Vogt in Kißlegg, which he presumably gave up due to the plague epidemic that struck Allgäu-Oberschwaben from 1632 to 1635, Thomas Scheitenberger was mentioned around 1640 as a caretaker in Schwabmünchen and in 1641 as judge of the Augsburg cathedral chapter in Langerringen near Schwabmünchen.

Kissleggic thing

The Kißleggische thing was a dispute between the owners of the two Kißlegg rule halves and involved in the core defending the tenure of Countess Maria to Hohenems on the baumgartischen of her inherited rule half Kißleggs against the legal challenges to your ownership rights on the part of the Empire Barons to Schellenberg as the owner of the other Half of the reign. Thomas Scheitenberger represented Maria Anna zu Hohenems as Vogt and was able to assert her claim against that of the imperial barons of Schellenberg, which led to this part of the rulership later being passed on to the imperial inheritance of Waldburg-Trauchburg.
