Act as mayor

Everwin II is described by Hermann von Kerssenbrock as a "man of old faithfulness and honesty". Everwin II. Was the fourth known mayor of his family, after Johann III. vondeckebrock (1295–1349, mayor 1312/13, 1321, 1327, 1333, 1337–39 and 1342), Johann IV. Droste zu Hülshoff (1381–1446, mayor 1402, 1421 and 1434) and Johann VII. Droste zu Hülshoff (1467–1539, mayor 1494 and 1502), who sat with him on the city council. In 1525 Everwin II. As mayor after a tumult in front of the town hall received a complaint with demands of the Reformation and the city council then tried to visit the cathedral chapter of Münster and the collegiate colleges . In 1534 Everwin II, who still adhered to the old (Catholic) faith, reported to Bishop Franz von Waldeck about the nascent Anabaptist empire of Munster and invited him to Telgte for consultations ; his sons Everwin III took part in the reconquest. and Alhard III. Droste zu Uhlenbrock and, from his relatives, the o. G. Councilor Johann VII. Droste zu Hülshoff and his son Heinrich I von Droste zu Hülshoff took part. From his family he was followed as councilors by his two o. G. Sons of the above Heinrich I. Droste zu Hülshoff (1500–1570), as well as the last, long-standing First Mayor Bernhard II. Von Droste zu Hülshoff .

Descendants

Everwin II. And Gertrud became the first parents of several branches of thedeckebrock / Droste zu Hülshoff , some of which extended into the 18th century: Their older son Johann Droste zu Handorf and zu Borg (1495–1558) was a canon in St. Ludgeri (Münster ) . He lived in the common cohabitation with Alheid Droste called Kocks and had two illegitimate sons, Johann († 1496, secretary of the bishop and married to the daughter Catharina of the provost Bernhard von Münster ) and the humanist and episcopal official Everwin von Droste zu Hülshoff , who also had other bourgeois descendants.

Her second son Everwin III. Droste zu Handorf († 1592 at Haskenau Castle ) succeeded his father as councilor in Münster and probably also on the estate in Handorf (Münster) , but died without an heir.

The third and youngest son named himself Alhard III after his property. Droste zu Uhlenbrock († 1593). He, too, was among the advisers to Bishop Franz von Waldeck , who were captured by the Anabaptists in Telgte , and with the reconquerors of Munster. He married Margaretha von Kerckerinck , who in 1541 inherited a town courtyard opposite the St. Martini church (Münster) and with whom he had 7 children. One of their sons, the councilor Everwin IV. Droste zu Uhlenbrock, became the ancestor of the Protestant Droste zu Möllenbeck, u. a. by Everwin von Droste zu Möllenbeck and his nephew Johann Eberhard von Droste zu Zützen . Another son, Heinrich II, became the lord of the also Protestant Droste at court at Dinker near Soest and an ancestor of Johann Heinrich von Drost . Alhard III. Droste zu Uhlenbrock seems to have married a Juliane von Schlieben (noble family) in their second marriage and with her became the progenitor of the Drosts in Danzig and Königsberg .
