Life

Schäfer came from an influential Halle patrician family. His father was the councilor and Pfänner Valentin Schäffer († 1598) and his mother Margarethe Ockel († October 31, 1631 in Halle (Saale)). Schäfer was married twice. His first marriage was on November 2, 1618 with Ursula Wasewitz († 1621), the widow of the Dresden feudal lord Michael Findekeller. His second marriage was on November 12, 1622 in Dresden with Hedewig Johanna Blatt (* December 31, 1604 in Dresden; † May 27, 1656 ibid.), The daughter of the Dresden court preacher Conrad Blatt (* December 6, 1563 in Dresden; † May 4, 1609 ibid.) And his wife Dorothea (née Frost; † November 3, 1615 in Dresden). Their daughter, Ursula Rosine Schäfer, was from 1652 the second wife of the electoral council, poet and librarian Christian Brehme , who was also temporarily mayor of Dresden.

Schäfer is first mentioned in the Dresden council register in 1640 and is named as a trader. Since that year he was a member of the council and was elected mayor in 1652. In the usual three-year rhythm he also held this position in 1655, 1658, 1661 and 1664. After his death on April 1st, 1666 he was buried in the candle arches of the old Frauenkirchhof .
