Christian Nicolaus von Evers
Christian Nicolaus von Evers (born April 18, 1775 in Lübeck , † March 20, 1862 ) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Christian Nicolaus von Evers was elected to the council in 1809 from the Junker company and in 1811 a member of the municipal council . He was particularly active in the judiciary and accounting and became mayor in 1825. As early as 1805, his father, the notary Nicolaus Heinrich von Evers , who was ennobled in 1802, acquired the cathedral curia known today as Schloss Rantzau and later bequeathed it to his son Christian Nicolaus von Evers. This hosted Queen Desideria of Sweden during her visits to Lübeck in this house. Mayor Evers retired in 1852. In 1857 he sold the building to the eponymous Count Kuno zu Rantzau-Breitenburg .
Admitted to the circle society as the third from last in 1802 , he was the last surviving member of the society from 1845 until his death. His daughter Thekla married councilor Wilhelm Ganslandt in 1842 . This created the untenable situation after the citizens' recession of 1669, when the father-in-law and son-in-law were both members of the Lübeck City Council. Until Ganslandt left the council for health reasons, both council members remained. According to Fehling, it was noted in the Lübeck files that Ganslandt belonged to the merchant company, while von Evers was a member of the circle society, "to whose members the provisions of the recess according to imperial privileges are not applicable."
Since June 4, 1802, he was the owner of one of the two Livonisten- prebends at the Lübeck cathedral chapter . Those named after their founder, the cathedral dean Johannes Livo († 1292), entitled to income, but not to a seat and vote in the chapter. Even after the secularization of the bishopric through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, he retained his privileges and income as a canon for life and was thus the last but one canon living .
In Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks , the figure of the mayor, Doctor Oeverdieck, represents Christian Nicolaus von Evers.
