Conrad Bünting the Elder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad Bünting (also: Konrad Bunting and Conradus Buntingus and name variants; (* around 1545 in Hanover ; † February 25, 1615 ibid) was a German lawyer and municipal lawyer in his hometown.

Life

Conrad Bünting was presumably the twin brother of the Protestant theologian, geographer and chronicler Heinrich Bünting , who was born in Hanover in 1545 , son of the goldsmith and silver dealer Johann Bünting , who settled in Hanover as a new citizen in 1538, and Hans Buntinck, son of a freeman in Langenhagen , and his wife Helena, daughter of Land rent master Heinrich Lorleberg.

Conrad Bünting studied law in Basel at the university there . With his dissertation Positiones de collationibus, presented in Latin in 1572 , he was awarded a Dr. jur. PhD. Later he joined the city of Hanover and worked from around 1577 for a total of around 38 years as city syndic of Hanover.

After a peace alliance between the cities of Braunschweig, Hildesheim, Göttingen, Hanover, Einbeck, Northeim and Hameln had been notarized for a period of ten years as early as 1576 and in particular the ten-year alliance between Braunschweig and Northeim had already expired on October 12, 1576, the Hanover Conrad Bünting as deputies to the on 25 August 1576 by Duke Julius convened parliament in Gandersheim , of the Principality of Calenberg was convened as part of his country's sovereignty. In addition to Bünting, the City Council of Hanover also deputized Riedemeister Hans Völger and Berend Homeister to the Gandersheimer Landtag.

Also in 1576 Bünting's son Jacob Bünting (1576–1654) was born in Hanover , who, like his father, embarked on a legal career, but was then elected mayor of Hanover.

When Duke Friedrich Ulrich arrived in Hanover on November 26, 1613 to pay homage on a trip through his country , "he got from the Syndicus Conrad Bünting on the market".

A few years before the start of the Thirty Years' War , Conrad Bünting died and was buried on March 2, 1615 in the choir of the Marktkirche . An epitaph for Bünting was also installed in the choir of the church , reported by the chronicler and pastor at the Aegidienkirche Ludolf Lange .

Bünting's successor as lawyer for the city of Hanover was Hector Mithobius .
