Life

Werner Pagenstecher was the son of the lawyer Johann Pagenstecher (1575–1650) and Anna Lölevinck (1582–1655). He studied law at several foreign universities, including in Leiden and Gröningen , then traveled to France and England and obtained on April 12, 1634 in Orléans the degree of doctor of law . After his return he was employed as a judge in Schüttdorf and Bentheim; he was also a geographer in Emsbüren . In 1641 he entered the service of the Count of Limburg , as vice rust, bailiff, judge and ex-count in the Westphalian empire of Gemen . When Landgravine Amelie Elisabeth , regent of Hesse , occupied the Münster office in Bocholt in 1645 , she appointed Pagenstecher to be her senior bailiff and used him on some special commissions. In Bocholt he also acted as a Hessian chief judge and legal advisor. Since Hessen resigned the office in 1650, he left this service and took up a professorship in Steinfurt. In 1655 he also became a judge and subsequently turned down professorships offered to him in Heidelberg , Frankfurt an der Oder and Rinteln . The Landgrave of Hesse still needed him for domestic and foreign business. In 1659 he was appointed co-arbitrator to end the disputes between Brandenburg, Palatinate and the states of Gelderland . He died in Steinfurt in 1668 at the age of 59.

Pagenstecher had married Maria Elisabeth Rutgersius (1618–1669) in Steinfurt on September 2, 1639, with whom he had several daughters and an only son, Johann Winand Pagenstecher (1649–1688). He worked as a Bentheim-Steinfurt privy councilor and court judge and left no heirs.
