Der Henker des Herzogs
by Kai Lehmann
Aus den Notizen eines Henkers
Johann Jeremias Glaser (1653 bis 1724) war Scharfrichter von Beruf. Vor allem aber war er ein unvergleichlicher Buchhalter des eigenen Lebens, der der Nachwelt ein einmaliges Zeugnis hinterliea: In einem sogenannten Anschreibebuch hielt er penibel alle Zahlen, Kosten und Fakten seines Erwachsenenlebens fest – ein einzigartiges Ego-Dokument aus der Fruhen Neuzeit! Was gab er bei Hochzeiten fur Schmuck, Kleidung und Essen aus, was fur den Unterhalt seiner Magde und Knechte? Und was nahm er an Gebuhren ein, fur das Kopfen und Foltern, aber auch fur das Heilen, das Beseitigen von Tierkadavern oder das Ausraumen der Fakalgruben?
