Hans Röhling

Hans Röhling even Röling , contemporary and Roligk and other spellings, (* around 1485 / 1490 in Geyer ;? † 9. June 1564 in Freiberg ) was an electoral Saxon Mountain officials , mining entrepreneur and landlord .

Live and act

Röhling is mentioned for the first time in 1518 in a tithe bill in Geyer. Possibly in the same year, but no later than 1523 he was Bergmeister von Geyer. He also owned a silver hut.

On November 10, 1527, he acquired the area around the Bärenstein from the Grünhain monastery as an inheritance (later Mannlehngut). The subsequent clearing and the settlement of farmers gave the developing community a significant boost. The year is therefore considered to be the founding date of Bärenstein .

From 1530 to 1533 he was tithe at the Geyer Mining Authority and thus the immediate predecessor of Adam Ries . In 1534 he became mayor of Annaberg.

In 1542 he was appointed administrative administrator for the Freiberg mining district and from 1546 at the latest he was ministerial administrator. In this new role in Albertine Saxony, for the first time he was not only in charge of a mining authority area (this was still the responsibility of the miners), but also of all mining towns in the newly created Erzgebirge district . He was supported by the mountain bailiff Simon Bogner , also a successful coal and steel entrepreneur. This started the development of the Saxon Mining Authority as an intermediate authority . Around this time acquired Röhling the basic rule about Conrad village .

Hans Röhling was buried next to his wife Anna Patzschke († 1553) in Freiberg Cathedral . An epitaph there remembered him:

"ANNO DNI. 1564. THE 9th IVNII IS HERBAR VND VESTE HANS ROLIGK OF THE CHVRF. SIX. ERTZGEBIRG. BERGK-AMTS-VORWALTER BEAUTIFULLY SLEEPED IN CHRIST. "

family

Röhling's marriage resulted in seven sons and two daughters. Markus Röhling “the rich” (* 1511/1517, † 1581 in Annaberg) succeeded him as miners' administrator. He also made his fortune with mining, u. a. with the Himmlisch Heer mine in Annaberg. The Markus-Röhling-Stolln , today a visitor mine , is named after him. He was buried in St. Anne's Church (Annaberg-Buchholz) . Siegmund Röhling (around 1529–1603) was mayor of Freiberg from 1587 to 1600 and heir to Conradsdorf.
