Hieronymus Wigerinck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hieronymus Wigerinck , also Wiegerinck , Wiggering and similar forms of name (* in Lübeck ; † April 22, 1549 ibid) was a German lawyer and canon.

Life

Hieronymus Wigerinck was a son of the wealthy Lübeck long-distance trader, banker and patron Godart Wigerinck from his second marriage to Anna, née. Claholt († January 14, 1510), daughter of councilor Hermann Claholt . The merchants Johann and Hermann Wigerinck were his brothers; a total of eleven siblings are known by name.

He studied canon law from 1524 at the University of Leipzig . In Leipzig he graduated with a baccalaureate on December 12, 1524 and received his doctorate on April 5, 1525 with a degree in both rights.

In 1524 he received a prebend as canon in the Lübeck cathedral chapter , first the episcopal distinctive praise , which he renounced in favor of Gottschalk von Wickede , then the prebend of the deceased dean Albert Broker, to whom Engelbert Erkel, cathedral provost of Naumburg , was actually entitled, but he waived.

During the time of upheaval of the Reformation, Wigerinck was noticed several times “through a messy life”. According to the chapter protocols, he is said to have drunk and then spoken badly about the world. He went into the country "with a fool's mask in his hand and a hat with a cock's feather on his head" and loudly quarreled with his maid.
