The Jauch family of
.The Jauch have brought forth some notable lineal descendants, both patrilineal and matrilineal. They can trace the nearer cognatic kinship of the issue of the progenitor Johann Christian Jauch the Elder (1638–1718) in the following centuries to a number of renowned contemporaries.
Overview
Pre-Hanseatic time
The Jauch originate from Thuringia[5][6] where as the first family member the widow Lena Joherrin[2] is chronicled 1495 in today's Bad Sulza.[7]

The trading firm was relocated in the middle of the 18th century by Carl Daniel Jauch (1714–1794) from the falling back Lüneburg to Hamburg,[24] the ″Queen of the cities″.[28] Since the 17th century Hamburg played a special role in Germany's economic history[29] because thanks to its fortifications [de] it came out of the Thirty Years' War as the wealthiest and most populous of all German cities.[30]

These three cities built up between 1630 and 1650 the Hanseatic Community (German: Hanseatische Gemeinschaft).[43] It was formed after the Hanseatic League became informally extinct in the beginning of the 17th century. Therefore, it has to be differentiated between the earlier Hanseatic merchants (German: Hansekaufmann) of the former Hanseatic League and the later Hanseaten as a class of the three cities which built the Hanseatic Community.[44]
Since the end of the 18th century the family belongs to the Hanseaten.

The Jauch served mainly as honorary[73] almoners (German: Armenpfleger) for Hamburg's General Institution for the Poor of 1788 [de], as provisors of the Hamburg Reformatory [de] and as board members of their own and other humanitarian foundations.[74] The Jauch belonged to the founding fathers of the Humanitarian Aid for en_text [en_text], Hamm and Horn (German: Hülfsverein für Borgfelde, Hamm und Horn), which took care of those poor who did not receive support from the city.
Keeping with the age-old Hanseatic tradition in setting up humanitarian foundations[75] the Jauch maintained a daily soup kitchen for the poor for free (German: Armenspeisung).[51] They also built and maintained almshouses in Hamburg (German: Wohnstifte)[51] and Wellingsbüttel.[76]

Alongside his home in Hamburg he erected a deer park and a cage for the bears he brought with himself from his voyages to Russia.[76] The poet Hebbel wrote to his long-time companion Elise Lensing, who had lived for many years in the house Stadtdeich 43, after she moved out:
It can only calm me to know that you are no longer under cats, snakes and bears like on the Stadtdeich, but under human beings.

In Guatemala the coffee business was from the beginning in the hand of German investors. ″The US government forced the Guatemalan government to confiscate the German coffee holdings and to arrest German citizens. This allowed US companies to take control of the Guatemalan coffee industry.″
In the Times of the Third Reich
Heinrich Jauch, First State Attorney at Hamburg
Heinrich Jauch (1894–1945) was the Prosecuting Attorney of the Special Tribunal (
Day after day we sat on the prisoners' benches, a cadaverous crew of outcasts surrounded by all the symbols of Hitler power. The Prosecuting Attorney, a tall, thin, pale-faced man named Jauch, dominated the hearings. His hatred for us was undisguised. His eyes flashed and his lips drew back in snarls as he demanded death, and nothing but death.
— Jan Valtin, Out of the Night[136]
The trial is regarded to be the model for the
The first who were sentenced to death were executed on 19 May 1934. Formerly a guillotine had been used, but it had been discarded as a French method of decapitation. Since then people were put to death with an executioner's ax.
There were the judges of the Special Tribunal and Prosecutor Jauch, all wearing cutaways and topheads. ... They were followed by a long train of storm troop officers and Elite Guards. ... Last to come was the headsman, a chunky individual with a big-boned face and dull brown eyes. He showed complete emotional indifference to the task ahead of him. He, too, wore a stiff white shirt, striped trousers, a cutaway and a top head. ... the headsman raised his ax over comrade Dettmer's head. He did not strike. He simply let it fall on Johnny's neck. Then, with an easy motion, he drew the blade toward him, and stepped back. Johnny Dettmer's head fell into the basket.
