Bertram Christian von Hoinckhusen
Bertram Christian von Hoinckhusen (born July 6, 1651 in Ratzeburg , † December 14, 1722 in Güstrow ) was a German lawyer, judge and cartographer.
Life
Hoinckhusen attended the Katharineum in Lübeck in 1665 and from 1670 the Jesuit school in Hildesheim . He studied law and mathematics from 1673 at the University of Rostock , from 1676 at the University of Leipzig , where he disputed on December 6, 1677. The dedication of the disputation to Duke Christian Ludwig I of Mecklenburg brought him the promise of a position in the Mecklenburg civil service. In 1678 he attended the University of Leiden and in 1679 traveled from there to England. He then attended the University of Bourges in order to gain practical experience at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Speyer . In 1684 he returned to Mecklenburg and in 1685 became a trainee lawyer at the Justice Chancellery in Schwerin . In 1691 he became assessor and 1707 vice-president of the Mecklenburg regional and court court in Parchim , which was moved to Güstrow in 1708. In 1716 Hoinckhusen was ennobled.
The result of his mathematical studies carried out on the side over a period of 35 years is the first map of Mecklenburg. It consists of a general map and 22 special maps (which contain the individual offices of Mecklenburg). The Hoinckhusen's map series is now in the Schwerin State Main Archives . His statistical-topographical list of the duchies was largely completed by his death, but not fully completed.
His son Johann Heinrich von Hoinckhusen (1700–1746) was a Mecklenburg genealogist and heraldist, whose work was continued by Conrad Lüder von Pentz after his early death .
