Life

Thulemar / Thule Meyer comes from a former resident of the Principality of Lippe family, with the Horner alderman mentioned Gadecke Thule Meier in 1560 first documented. He is the son of the Bremen city ​​physician Conrad Thulemeyer (1625–1683), personal physician at the court of the Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel.

He attended high school in Bremen and then studied with Johann Strauch II at the University of Jena . In 1680 he was appointed professor of history and eloquence at the University of Heidelberg . Because of his legal studies he was also an associate. Professor of law and appointed to the council at the Electoral Palatinate Court and Marriage Court .

After the (first) destruction of Heidelberg by the French in the War of the Palatinate Succession (1688), Thulemeyer moved to the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main in 1689 and made a brilliant career there. Emperor Leopold I appointed him Imperial Councilor, the Danish King Christian V to the Royal Danish Councilor, Duke Johann Wilhelm von Sachsen-Eisenach to Privy Councilor , Prince Johann Franz Desideratus von Nassau-Siegen to the Government President and the Abbess Charlotte Sophia von Kurland from Herford pen to the chancellor . She made him a resident on May 29, 1697, after the city council had requested it.

On December 11, 1698 he was raised in Vienna under the name Heinrich Günther Thulemar to the imperial nobility with the name increase "von Bornthal" .

From 1697 he was the Hessian Reichstag envoy . He also wrote treatises on constitutional law . Due to his frequent travels, however, he not only used up his own assets, but also the assets of his wife, a born Schönmann from Frankfurt. In his need he tried to get the post of Reichshofrat or Reichskammergericht assessor , which he was denied. In 1713, when Thulemeyer was in need, he turned to Marshal Claude-Louis-Hector de Villars , the commander of the French Army on the Rhine , and offered the French to switch to the services of King Louis XIV .

For this betrayal - one of his letters to the French was intercepted - he was thrown into prison and, as the politically motivated reasons were inadequate, justified this with unpaid debts and the suspicion of counterfeiting . His attempt to escape on November 11, 1713 failed. Out of consideration for his age and his frailty, the Frankfurt city ​​council transformed the detention into house arrest. A few months later Thulemeyer died.

  1. ↑ Blumenthal, Robert von: The Thulemeier family from Horn near Lippe. In: Genealogy, Vol. 18, H. 11 of November 1987
  2. ↑ According to Möller's family news of 1788 , Conrad Thulemeyer , city physician in Bremen, is said to have been his father. Given the year he was born in 1625, this is difficult to imagine in relation to that of his supposed son Heinrich Günther (* 1642). In addition, according to the Internet file of the Mormon Archives (Utah, USA), Conrad Thulemeyer is said to have married his wife Anna Margarethe Kotzenberg in Bremen on October 3, 1653, who had previously been married to Gerhard Remus since 1647. Thus Heinrich Günther Thulemeyer cannot be the son of both. However: According to ADB, Heinrich Günther is said to have attended high school in Bremen. With Bremen there would be a local relationship with Conrad Thulemeyer.
