Heinrich von Vemern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Vemern , also Hinricus de Vemeren , Femern and similar forms of name (* around 1310 in Rostock ; † before September 20, 1374 in Lübeck ) was a German clergyman, procurator at the Roman Curia and canon in Lübeck and Schwerin.

Life

Heinrich von Vemern came from a Rostock council family whose origins can be assumed to be on the island of Fehmarn . He was a son of the Rostock councilor of the same name Hinrich von Femern († around 1356) and clergyman of the Schwerin diocese . In 1344 he was first named as procurator at the papal court in Avignon . In 1345 he was called a Magister . In the following years he worked with varying success as a lawyer for North German clergy and spiritual bodies at the curia . After successfully representing Bertram Cremon in connection with his appointment as Bishop of Lübeck , this obtained from Pope Clement VI. on June 20, 1351 the commission of Vemern with his canon , who became free through the appointment of bishop - prebend of the cantor in the Lübeck cathedral chapter . On September 9, 1351, a prebender was added as a canon in Schwerin. In both dioceses he continued to work as procurator according to the Mecklenburg record book , and in Schwerin in 1353 also as official general of Bishop Andreas von Wislica . In 1355 he represented the rights of the Doberan Monastery as conservator and, as papal judge, imposed excommunication against the defendants of the Doberan convent.

In 1360 the council of Wismar arbitrated a dispute between Vemern and the Rostock council about his father's inheritance. In the years that followed, Vemern was involved on the part of the Lübeck Council in the long-term trial of Johann von Helle, the pastor of Borby , initiated by the council for falsifying documents .

Vemern must have died in the beginning or the middle of 1374, because on September 20, 1374 Michael Hildesem put his respect for the canon on record.
