Hermann von Brüggenei, called Hasenkamp (also Bugseney , Brügeney , Brüggenei-Hasenkamp or Hasenkamp von Brüggeney ; date of birth unknown; † 1549 ) was Landmeister in Livonia of the Teutonic Order from 1535 to 1549 .

Hermann's parents were Wennemar von Brüggenei and Christine von Oldenbockum. The Landmeister Wennemar von Hasenkamp (called Brüggenei) was distantly related to him. Hermann came to Livonia as a child. There he entered the Teutonic Order. From 1513 to 1519 he was house commander in the Riga Ordensburg and from 1519 to 1527 Vogt von Bauske. After the death of Land Marshal Johann von dem Broele in 1529, he followed him into the office. In 1533 he was appointed coadjutor by Landmeister Wolter von Plettenberg . After Plettenberg's death in 1535, Hermann von Brüggenei was his successor as Landmeister in Livonia.

Hermann von Bruggenei was able to enjoy a quiet reign, as there had been 20 years of peace with the Russians since 1531. There were no problems with the Archbishop of Riga either. Brugesi supported the Roman Catholic Church against the Reformation . Brüggenei died in 1549, probably of the plague .

His successor was Johann von der Recke .
