Life

Hans Schlief was a son of Hans Schlief the Elder († 1438), a citizen of Kolberg, and the Jutteke Holk. He had been a member of the city council since 1426 and became mayor in 1436. He was also a councilor in the service of the Danish King Christoph III. It is not known during which period this position existed. But it ended before 1444, as emerged from the letter of arms awarded to him and his brother Niclas zu Kalmar by the king .

In 1442 there was an open conflict with the Camminer Bishop Siegfried II. Bock when he made claims to the Kolberger Saline and the port. Hans Schlief led the city ​​privileged by Pope Eugene IV against the bishop who was at the Council of Basel . This imposed a church ban on Schlief and his followers. By Duke Bogislaw IX. Hans Schlief, who broke free passage during an attempt at compensation , was taken prisoner and only released against a promise of a large ransom. The result was that Hans Schlief gained influence and support in Kolberg. The ransom payment was refused, sieges by the duke's troops rejected in 1443 and an attack repulsed in 1444. It was only with the successor of Siegfried II von Cammin, Bishop Henning Iven , that a peace agreement was reached in 1449. This was an advantage for Kolberg, so that Schlief's reputation in the city increased further.

In 1450, Schlief introduced a new Salzkothen order. He also forbade close relatives to sit together on the city council. Around 1454, the conflict with the diocese of Cammin broke out again, in which Duke Erich II intervened. At the end of 1462, the Kolberger, under Hans Schlief's leadership, defeated a force led by Dinnies from the East .

Hans Schlief died in mid-1466 before the city made peace with the duke and bishop.
