Hermann Lilie (politician)

Hermann Lilie , also Lilien , (* before 1453; † 1516 in Niedereimer ) was mayor of Werl in 1499, 1500 and 1516. (Possibly also in other years).

Life

An activity as councilor in Werl is proven for the years 1473, 1474, 1477, 1478, 1485, 1486, and 1505. In 1491, 1492, 1495 and 1496 he was the city treasurer . Lilie , a Werler Erbsälzer , was married to Elisabeth Blesse, the daughter of Werler Erbsälzers and former mayor Johann Blesse, and his wife Geudeken née Bitter from Attendorn . Elisabeth Lilie was listed in the 1524 calendar book of the city of Werl among the female members. The Erbsälzer were a particularly well represented group in the exclusive prayer brotherhood of the Kalands Community . Another member was Cracht Wulf zu Füchten, who was possibly responsible for the death of Lilien. In a document from the Erbsälzer dated February 20, 1517, disputes between the Sälzer and the widow Lily are mentioned. The historian Johann von der Berswordt mentions in the Westphalian Adeliges Stammbuch which he wrote : 1516, on December 28th, Bracht (correctly Cracht) killed Wulff zu Füchten, who was at enmity with the city, whose mayor Lilie below Arnsbergs was shot by a rifle where still today there is a stone cross with the inscription on the lily cross . Franz Goswin von Michels lived between 1698 and 1768, he writes in his genealogies of Soest sexes : Cracht Wulf gnt. Lüdinghausen + impolis ... one of Schüngel; he has the mayor v. Lilien murdered, wantonly on the country roads (von Michels wrongly prefixed the lily with a nobility predicate and added an n at the end ). The two historians Karl Féaux de Lacroix from Arnsberg and Franz Josef Mehler from Werl wrote about the deed in almost the same wording in 1890, they probably used the aforementioned sources.
