Hans Millies (chronicler)

Hans Millies the Elder (* 1530 in Lübeck ; † March 22 or 23, 1578 ibid) was a German merchant and chronicler.

Life

Carl Julius Milde : Alfstrasse 38 (mid 19th century)

The merchant Hans Millies is initially documented in Lübeck through his participation in property transactions. In 1547 he inherited a house between Alfstrasse and Fischstrasse on the northern half of the property at An der Untertrave 101 in the commercial district of Lübeck's old town from his father of the same name . He sold this in 1561 because he had acquired the southern half of the property at An der Untertrave 98 and the neighboring corner house at Alfstrasse 38 and kept it as property until 1567. Millies married Agnes in 1563, the daughter of the Lübeck citizen Johann von Achelen. He is mentioned several times as one of the head of the castle monastery . He was in Lübeck's Marienkirche buried.

timeline

Hans Millies ( the elder ) began his chronicle in 1567 on the basis of the chronicle of Hans Regkmann, who was also located in Alfstrasse . With his death it passed to his son Hans Millies the Younger († 1615), who continued it. Hans Millies the Younger was married to a daughter of Mayor Heinrich Plönnies in his first marriage and married a daughter of Councilor Caspar Boje in his second marriage . After a jointly designed title page, the manuscript contains a Lübeck council line in the first part . It also documents the members of the New Council from 1408 to 1416, who are not listed in other lines of the Council because of the lack of legitimacy from the point of view of the Old Council in 1408 and returned in 1416 . From 1562 onwards, this line of advice was supplemented by father and son Millies' own experience until 1580. Later additions to this list were made by a third party and later by several people. The chronicle finally ended up in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .
