Hartmanni
The Hartmanni were a family of jurists from a family of councilors from Eppingen .
The town councilor and town school authorities named Beger or Becker can be traced for the first time with Heinrich Beger, mentioned in 1334, in Eppingen. The first to change his name from Becker to Hartmanni was Andreas Hartmanni around 1448, later rector of Heidelberg University. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the family produced five well-known lawyers. They held the highest offices at the University of Heidelberg , at the court of the Count Palatine of the Upper Palatinate and Elector of the Electoral Palatinate, and as canons in Heidelberg and Strasbourg :
- Andreas Hartmanni (* around 1432; † 1495?) Was elected rector of Heidelberg University seven times and was one of the few bourgeois court councilors under the Electors Friedrich I the Victorious and Philip .
- Andreas Hartmanni (around 1443–1507) was court judge and vicar general in Strasbourg.
- Hartmannus Hartmanni (around 1472–1510) was a legal scholar and canon at the Heidelberg Church of the Holy Spirit . He founded a scholarship at Heidelberg University that existed until 1949.
- Hartmannus Hartmanni the Elder (around 1495-1547), son of the Rector Andreas Hartmanni was a professor at the University of Heidelberg, was 1523 Councilor of the Count Palatine Frederick II. , In 1528 by Emperor Charles V raised to the peerage, 1535 Chancellor of the Upper Palatinate and 1545 Chancellor of the Electoral Palatinate, whose anti-papal policies he shaped significantly.
- Hartmannus Hartmanni the Younger (1523–1586), son of the elder, was a lawyer like his father, assessor at the Imperial Court of Justice in Speyer and counsel for three Palatinate electors.
The relationships between the five important Hartmanni are only partially known. What is certain is that Rector Andreas is the father of Chancellor Hartmannus, who in turn is the father of the Appeal Court Assessor Hartmannus. The exact relationship of the two canons Andreas and Hartmannus to each other and to the aforementioned is unknown. However, the brotherhood of Hartmanni of the same name is excluded.
The Hartmanni-Gymnasium in Eppingen is named after the family .
