While the commoners (German: Untertanen) in the landlocked Imperial States of the Holy Roman Empire were subjected to bureaucracy and its civil officialdom (German: Beamtentum), Hamburg was distinguished by its honorary self-government by the most respected of its free citizens, the Hamburg notables (German: Hamburger Notabeln).

The Jauch served mainly as honorary almoners (German: Armenpfleger) for Hamburg's  General Institution for the Poor of 1788, as provisors of the Hamburg Reformatory and as board members of their own and other humanitarian foundations.
 The Jauch belonged to the founding fathers of the Humanitarian Aid for 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 the Jauch maintained a daily soup kitchen for the poor for free (German: Armenspeisung).
They also built and maintained almshouses in Hamburg (German: Wohnstifte) and Wellingsbüttel.

Johann Christian Jauch senior (1765–1855) served from 1820 until 1833 as dyke-count and first dyke count (German: Ältester Deichgeschworener) of Hamburg-Hammerbrook.
He was in charge as first dyke count when the dam failed during the February flood of 1825, 2.000 feet southeast of the Jauch house Stadtdeich 10 in Hamburg.
