Hartmannus Hartmanni (Canon)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmannus Hartmanni (* around 1472 in Eppingen ; † before December 9, 1510) was a legal scholar and canon at the Heiliggeistkirche in Heidelberg . Shortly before his death, he donated a scholarship to Heidelberg University that ran until 1949 .

Life

Little is known about Hartmanni's life. He comes from the Hartmanni family of councilors and scholars in Eppingen and enrolled at the University of Heidelberg in 1488 and then studied law after completing his basic philosophical studies at the artist faculty. As a canon he was later (presumably as the legal representative of the monastery) at the Heiliggeistkirche in Heidelberg . From a letter about the whereabouts of his canonical it emerges that he died before December 9, 1510.

scholarship

Shortly before his death, he set up a scholarship at the University of Heidelberg with the Hartmann Foundation of 500 Rhenish gold guilders. The foundation sum probably came from his income from the benefice at the Heidelberg Heiliggeiststift. The money was invested in the Sinsheim monastery . The interest income was to go to a descendant of the Hartmanni family and, after their eventual extinction, two sons of citizens from Eppingen to support an eight-year study in Heidelberg. The scholarship was awarded to several members of the Hartmanni family as well as around 20 students from Eppingen, was already the oldest existing Heidelberg scholarship in 1865 and lasted until 1949, when the endowment capital, last known as the Hartmann scholarship fund , was almost exhausted after two currency reforms in the 20th century .
