Heinz Dompnig
Heinz Dompnig the Younger (* around 1435 ; † July 5, 1490 in Breslau ) was a Breslau councilor and alder.
He came from the patrician family Dompnig (also Domning or Dominici ), who had lived in Breslau since the beginning of the 14th century .
The furrier Dominikus Dompnig called Pellifex († before 1337) was 1322-1336 councilor. The merchant Johann Dompnig, councilor and alderman since 1354, died in 1379. Heinz Dompnig the Elder († 1454) was councilor and aldermen since 1444.
When Pope Pius II overthrew and excommunicated King George of Podebrady , Wroclaw took the side of Matthias Corvinus . Corvinus appointed Heinz Dompnig as chairman of Breslau on March 8, 1487, which the citizens of Breslau did not like.
After the death of Matthias Corvinus, Dompnig stayed in Breslau. On April 19, 1490 he lost his office.
He was imprisoned, tortured and sentenced to death.
A year after his execution, a sandstone memorial column ( wayside shrine ) was erected in front of the Magdalenenkirche . In 1970 it was transferred to the interior of the church.
