Life

family

Bartold Homeister was the son of Hans Hovemeister, mentioned in the oldest house book of the city of Hanover, as well as his “ wife Anna, possibly from the Volger family”. He was the father of Bernhard Homeister .

Career

Bartold Homeister studied at the University of Wittenberg from 1522 to 1524, where he belonged to Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon . This is supported by a matriculation entry from 1523 under the name Bartoldus de Hannover .

Homeister married in 1527. Even before the Reformation, he held various offices in Hanover: in 1530 he held the position of “ Burmester ” and in 1532/33 that of “mill owner”. In 1539 he was elected councilor and in 1557 mayor of the city; he held this latter function until 1563.

Homeister, like his son, was buried in the Old St. Nikolai Cemetery.
