Bernhard Berlin
Bernhard Berlin (* unknown; † 1457 in Heilbronn ) was mayor of the imperial city of Heilbronn in 1456 and 1457 .
Life
Berlin came from an old patrician family from Heilbronn. The family's coat of arms shows three nested bears , two buffalo horns are used to decorate the crest.
He was the second mayor from the Heilbronn family of Berlin. Bernhard was possibly the son of Hans Berlin , who was mayor of the city in 1431. Bernhard Berlin is mentioned relatively rarely in documents. In 1444 he was mayor and sold a field to the city of Heilbronn, on which the Carmelite monastery was built shortly afterwards . Various legal acts were also confirmed in documents. On August 5, 1456, a purchase agreement between the Mayor of Berlin and Holzapfel for fish water is sealed. He died in 1457.
Board of donors
In the Heilbronn House of City History , a donor board from 1457 from the Heilbronn Kilian's Church has been preserved. Their inscription reads:
- Anno Domini died in 1457
- of the eren and firm
- Bernhard Berlin
- with the donor of the eternal
- Alms to Heylpron
- and the Predicatur
- to good people
- Have mercy on God. Amen
The Eternal Alms was founded in 1449 by the city council as a foundation. The "Almosenhäuschen" was located next to the northern choir entrance of Kilian's Church (today Kaiserstraße) until 1830. Bernhard Berlin increased the foundation in 1452 by a contribution of 40 guilders. On his death in 1457, Bernhard Berlin left the legacy of increasing the financial contribution by a further 42 guilders. The proceeds of the foundation were distributed in kind as alms to those in need.
