Lorenz Busmann, due to descendants of the same name, Lorenz Busmann the Elder, was first mentioned in a document dated March 18, 1362 as the founder of a stone Unschlitt for a new lake house and was referred to as "Ehrbar Mann". He joined the city council in 1387 and was mayor of Dresden four times (1392, 1400, 1403, 1406) .

Busmann lived with his wife in a house on Webergasse and had five sons. He was wealthy and in 1396 bought the village of Quohren from the Burgraves of Dohna . Also Tolkewitz and Mockritz part of his possession. From the interest of both villages he created a foundation for the Kreuzkapelle in 1398, according to which the students had to sing the Salve regina and the O crux every evening. Busmann also donated the interest from the “Dürrhof” farm in Laubegast to the Kreuzkapelle. Together with his wife donated Busmann also in 1400 the Busmannkapelle , a side chapel of the later church of St. Sophia , which at the time of the Church nor the Franciscan monastery was in Dresden. In the chapel, which was destroyed in 1945, there were console stones with the busts of Lorenz Busmann and his wife that have been preserved to this day. They are kept in the Dresden City Museum. In 1404 Busmann and Hans Jogkrim donated the village of Gompitz to the Altzella monastery . "Busmann's donation was connected with the establishment of a 'soul bath' on Schreibergasse, a common foundation in the Middle Ages for the benefit of poor citizens, which was intended to cleanse those affected both physically and mentally."

Lorenz Busmann died in 1406 or early 1407 and was buried in the Busmann Chapel in 1412.

Of his sons Jodocus, Vincenz, Hans, Alex and Georg Busmann, the latter four were enfeoffed in 1408 by the Margraves Wilhelm II , Friedrich I and Friedrich the Peaceful with the hereditary interest in 15 villages near Dresden, including Strehlen , Pesterwitz , Sedlitz and Mockritz , Rosentitz , Roitzsch , Ockerwitz , Boderitz and Großluga . In 1414 Vincenz, Alex and Georg also acquired Zauckerode . Presumably for this Vincenz Busmann had to pledge the villages Kytzsch and Boderitz, then called Podebrose , which they had acquired in 1408 . In 1412 and 1425 they sold the village of Quohren to the city council. In 1431, the margrave court Jew Jordan of Vincenz Busmann declared himself “out of debt” Boderitz and then sold it to the Dresden citizens Nicolaus Tirmann and Peter Zcuzcke. The village of Gorbitz and parts of Cotta and Pennrich were later in Vincenz Busmann's possession .

Further council members after Lorenz Busmann were his son Jodocus in 1408 and later Georg Busmann the Younger (1456), Lorenz Busmann (1471–1491) and Merten Busmann (1507–1517), who had an average civil wealth of only 400 guilders.

A Philip Busmann studied in Prague in 1397 and is mentioned in 1407 as a former Canon of Meissen . Another Lorenz Busmann died in 1440 and found his final resting place in the Busmann Chapel. Johannes Busmann's wife, Elisabeth, who died in 1478, was also buried in the chapel. Other well-known family members are Heinrich Busmann, who followed Duke Albrecht to the promised land in 1476 and died on the trip, and Martin Busmann, who still supported the Dresden Franciscan monastery in 1486. The last verifiable members of the Busmann family were Michel Busmann, who was granted citizenship in 1512, and his son Simon, a citizen of Dresden since 1537. Michel Poschmann, who became a citizen of Dresden in 1566, had a coat of arms identical to the Busmanns house brand.

Honor

In Dresden, a street in Mockritz has been called Busmannstraße since 1926. The “Busmann's Brazil” café was located not far from the former Busmann's band until 2009 and was named after its founder.
