history

The pharmacist Heinrich d'Erberfeld (* 1609; † 1679) came from Cologne. He has been running the Ratsapotheke on Bremen's market square since 1642 .

The artist Simon Peter Tileman portrayed him around 1646 and his wife Gertrud Hack in a second picture as a counterpart . Around 1647 he also painted The Four Children of the Bremen Ratsapotheker d'Erberfeld .

The picture of the children shows the oldest boy with a hunted hare, his brother feeds some bird chicks, the sisters play with a lamb. The animals represent metaphors for characteristics that should be developed in adolescents or which should also be combated, and they also underline a claim to social status.

Philip (born December 14, 1639 in Wesel; † 1709) later became a lawyer in Duisburg and Cologne. On October 27th and 28th, 1668 he married Maria Wouters († March 24th, 1697) in the Unser Lieben Frauen community in Bremen. They had nine children. His eldest son was Philipp d'Erberfeld (October 26, 1672 in Keulen; January 17, 1728 in Bremen). His son Philip Anthony D'Erberfeld (t) (* 1706) later became the resident of the Prussian king in Amsterdam .

One of the two daughters married Wilhelm von Bentheim from the family of the descendants of the town hall builder Lüder von Bentheim who had become councilors .

Heinrich (born June 5, 1641; † April 21, 1680) became a doctor and married Helena from the Meinertzhagen family in Bremen .
