Who was Karl Ernst Hieronymous Struve? In the book Geschichte des Gymnasiums zu Prenslau von 1543-1893: …there is the following passgae “Conducting mayor and city judge in this period was the Ukrainian higher judge Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Bende and after his death on February 21, 1773 the previous proconsul, the second or judicial mayor Viktor Wilhelm Stisser, who on November 8, 1773, received the title “Director” for distinction. After Stisser’s death on February 16, 1788, his successor in all offices and ancillary services at both the magistrate and the city court was the former proconsul and judicial commissioner Karl Ernst Hieronymus Struve, who had been with his elderly predecessor some time before. He had taken the position of city judge and held this post until his death on August 8, 1814.”
