PEPPERS by Johann Wilhelm Weinmann (German 1683-1747)
Johann Wilhelm Weinmann, pharmacist and botanist, was born on March 13, 1683 at Gardelegen, Germany, the son of a barber, Matthias Christian Weinmann. Little is known about his early life, but he settled in Regensburg in 1710 as a pharmacist�s assistant in a local apothecary shop. He later made the claim that he had worked with physicians and apothecaries in many German towns and that all of them would give favorable testimonials in his behalf. What is certain is that Weinmann�s fortunes developed rapidly in Regensburg. In 1712, he was able, with his fiances to purchase a house and apothecary shop; his bride, Isabella Catharina Frst, was the daughter of a well-to-do wine merchant. In 1732, two years after the death of his first wife, Weinmann married Christine Catharina Pfaffenreuther, the daughter of a town official, and was able to purchase a bankrupt pharmacy business which he soon built up into a thriving concern. Shortly after his first marriage, Weinmann became involved in a series of disputes with other pharmacists and some of the town physicians; these arose out of his official position as Hospital Apothecary to which he had been appointed in 1713. The quarrels among the various parties eventually became so disruptive that, in 1715, the Town Council was forced to intervene and Weinmann was officially censured for his actions. At the same time, the physicians involved were ordered not to interfere with him in his professional activities. This affair had no long lasting effect on Weinmann's career. In 1722, he became a member of one of the town's councils, from 1725 to 1733, he was a commercial assessor, and from 1733 to 1740, he held the post of city assessor. At the same time, his business enterprises were flourishing, he had become a wealthy man, and these favorable circumstances permitted him to indulge in his much desired avocation-botany. He established a small botanical garden in Regensburg and, in 1723, published a brief work entitled Catalogus Alphabetico ordine exhibens Pharmaca .... He also contributed botanical notes as "Observationes und Anmerkungen" in the "Breslauer Sammlungen".
