Friedrich Bruns

Friedrich Christian Heinrich Bruns (born October 6, 1862 in Lübeck ; † November 8, 1945 there ) was a German Hanseatic historian.

Life

Friedrich came from a Lübeck family of Stecknitz drivers and passed his Abitur at Easter 1883 at the Katharineum in Lübeck . He studied history at the University of Marburg and was awarded a Dr. phil. PhD. He then returned to Lübeck and worked on the fourth volume of the Hanseatic document book on behalf of the Hanseatic History Association until 1893. In 1894 he entered the service of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and headed the office of the Lübeck citizenship and the citizens' committee until his retirement, initially as a recorder, from 1921 with the title of a syndic of the citizenship until his retirement in 1928. In addition to his actual activity as "Parliamentary Director “One of the smaller German state parliaments, he spent most of his time in the archives of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and, as an economic historian, guided by his Marburg teacher Max Lenz for source research, he pursued his three big areas of interest, the connection of Lübeck's architectural and art monuments with the rich sources of the Archives that were included in the recording issued by the Lübeck building authorities, the Hanseatic trade routes and Norway with the Bergenfahrern , the Hanseatic office on Bryggen in Bergen . In these broad contexts he also dealt in detail with the Lübeck chronicles and not only worked biographically on the chroniclers. His numerous essays also touch on the medieval visual arts emanating from Lübeck with artists such as Bernt Notke or Hans Kemmer up to the early products of Lübeck book printing of the incunable period .

His extensive estate is in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. The evaluation continues, so that even after his death works by him appeared. Most recently 1962 to 1968 post mortem the Hansische Handelsstraßen in three volumes, edited by Hugo Weczerka .
