Buling (councilor dynasty)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Buling family was a Dresden councilor dynasty that was one of the most influential patrician families in the city in the 14th and 15th centuries . Several members belonged to the city council and served as mayors . In addition, the family owned interest rights and possessions in the surrounding areas of Dresden.

Significant members

Cunradus Buling

Cunradus Buling is the first documented member of the family in the Dresden Council. He is mentioned for the first time as a witness in a document dated August 16, 1303. In 1309 he belonged to the city council together with "Tyce, sin brother", and also in 1311, 1315 and 1316. In 1316 he sold him with the consent of his sons Pepper interest paid to the Dresden Hospital, 1326 the interest of the now defunct Rodstok (= Rostagk , local desert near Cotta ). In 1329 he is named among those liable for interest at the Seusslitz monastery . Cunradus Buling died around 1337 and is named after his death as the donor of an altar.

Theodoricus Buling

In 1315 a Theodoricus is mentioned in documents as magister civium , ie mayor (document of January 7, 1315). In 1316 he reappears as mayor under the name Tice Bulinc , and in 1317 again as Theodoricus. Although Theodoricus is only mentioned by his first name, the historian Otto Richter assumes that it was a member of the Buling family.

Bulingus

In 1371 a Bulingus is named as mayor on a bill from the Dresden Maternihospital . This is one of 185 out of a total of 269 council members known by name from the period up to 1500 with only a single name.

Tycze Buling

Tycze Buling was a member of the council for the first time in 1362. 1376 is mentioned as mayor as the issuer of a certificate dated December 5th. Tycze Buling is not identical to the mayor of the same name who was in office in 1316.

Hannus Buling

Hannus (Hans) Buling is first mentioned in 1380 as a member of the council. In 1395 and 1398 he is recorded as mayor in the storey register, in 1401 again on a combing invoice. In 1408 he was together with his brother Heinrich feudal lord of the Ussemig suburb ( Auswigk ) and owner of interest rights in Kötzschenbroda . In 1403 he was last named as a councilor.

Heinrich Buling

Heinrich Buling held the position of vicar of the parish of Kötzschenbroda in the 14th century . His payment was incumbent on the Meissen archdeacon Hermann von Wolftitz, who had the parish's income awarded to him by the bishop. In 1354 Buling declared his resignation from the pastor's office and asked for retirement because "his poverty did not allow him to maintain the religious buildings in a structural condition and to properly cultivate the fields and vineyards of the parish". When he was dismissed from office, he received an annual pension of 8 shock-wide Prague groschen from the bishop so that “the named Bulingi would not have to go begging to the shame of the clergy”.
