Wilhelm Christian Eberhard Friedrich Freiherr Löffelholz von Kolberg (born August 15, 1809 in Nuremberg ; † May 13, 1891 in Wallerstein ) was Princely Oettingen-Wallersteinscher Domanial Chancellery and archivist, director of the art and scientific collections in Maihingen , and heraldry .
Life
His father was Friedrich Freiherr Löffelholz von Kolberg (1775–1818), police and magistrate in Nuremberg, son of Hans Wilhelm Friedrich Freiherr Löffelholz von Kolberg and Anna Maria Haller von Hallerstein , his mother was Elisabeth König von Königsthal (1778–1849) , Daughter of the Nuremberg councilor Eberhard Jodokus König von Königsthal and Katharina Panzer, who worked as a youth writer under the pseudonym Karoline Reinhold. Wilhelm Christian married Caroline Sophie Therese Mathilde (1817–1874) in Nuremberg in 1836, daughter of Johann Freiherr Holzschuher von Harrlach and the Philippine Freiin von Harsdorf ; together they had five sons and three daughters.
After the early death of his father, Löffelholz attended grammar school in Erlangen as a boarding school student and then began studying mathematics at the university there in 1828, which he continued in Erlangen after spending the winter semester of 1830/31 in Munich with the summer semester of 1831. With a dissertation on orography and mineralogical topography of Bavaria on the right bank of the Rhine ,öffelholz was awarded Dr. Phil. Doctorate, since the natural sciences were still based in the Philosophical Faculty at that time. The first job was in 1832, as an assistant teacher for mathematics and physics at the business school in Nuremberg ; In 1836 he became sub-rector of the newly founded trade school in Nördlingen . In the autumn of 1842 he joined the Oettingen-Wallerstein family , where he initially took over the domain department in Wallerstein and headed the Princely Archives. As early as December 1842, he was given the management of the Princely Library and the art collections associated with it.
Over almost 50 years, over the course of almost 50 years, with great knowledge, diligence and conscientiousness, we have organized and recorded the library and collection holdings that had been brought together in the buildings of the former Minorite Monastery in Maihingen and thus made them accessible to science. In 1948/49, the holdings were transferred to Harburg Castle in this order created by Spoonholz . The library , which was sold to the Free State of Bavaria in 1980, is still set up within the Augsburg University Library according to the scheme designed byaken byaken for Maihingen. The coin catalog compiled byöffelholz and published in his Oettingana is still indispensable for any occupation with the Oettingian coinage. Öffelholz was on friendly terms with the museum's founder Hans von Aufseß and was a member of the board of directors of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum until his death in 1853 .
From 1856 he worked on the New Sieve Maker Wappenbuch and edited the volume Souveräne .
