Hinrich von der Trupe

Hinrich von der Trupe (*?; † after September 28, 1428) was councilor in Bremen from 1404 to 1421 , and from 1407 at the same time treasurer . With that he kept the Bremen Ratsdenkelbuch . In addition to mayor Friedrich Wigger , he was primarily responsible for the execution of the Bremen town hall from 1404; the two also kept the account books. These have been handed down and edited .

Life

Hinrich von der Trupe appeared for the first time on April 14, 1368 in connection with a property sale attested by the Bremen council , for which he provided a guarantee.

Like most councilors, Trupe was closely associated with the predominant families and related by marriage to some. One of his two daughters married the councilor and mayor Johann Hemeling . He himself was married to Gheze von Hasbergen. Her brother Hinrich von Hasbergen sat on the council from 1406 to 1418.

He was elected to the council on December 12, 1404. In 1407 he became a treasurer, with which he also supervised the Ratsdenkelbuch established in 1395 . He left numerous entries in his own hand there. The Ratsdenkelbuch, which lasts until 1519, was created in 1395 at his suggestion, supported by the councilor and mayor Friedrich von Walle .

In 1404, under the leadership of Mayor Bernhard Schorhar and above all Friedrich Wigger and Hinrich von der Trupe, the preparatory work for the construction of a new town hall began . The builders Salomon and Martin as well as the stone sculptors Johannes and Henning were responsible for the execution of the Gothic building.

For the construction of the town hall, Hinrich von der Trupe and Friedrich Wigger signed numerous contracts with craftsmen and artists, procured the materials and managed the construction project. First of all, the older houses standing on the intended building site, as Trupe noted for each account, were demolished. Then wood was procured from the surrounding forests, which were largely owned by the Bremen councilors, because the town hall is still essentially a wooden frame structure . Trupe set up additional accounts for this, for "masonry and lime preparation, for the two best master masons, watercourses, carpentry, iron, blacksmithing, wages of a foreign carpenter and his journeymen, brickwork costs, sculpting and stonemasonry, lime, shell limestone" - 14 in total Accounts.

The foundation stone was laid on May 6, 1405. On February 10th, the two site managers opened the associated invoice book, and the last invoices were issued in September. The first of four account books comprises 58 pages, of which only 36 are described, three more contain notes that were later crossed out. This was followed by a second account book, which, like the first, was kept by Hinrich von der Trupe. The third account book was probably kept by Friedrich Wigger, to whom von der Trupe left the running, as was the fourth. On February 23, 1407, the last of the four account books was closed. Books three and four, the ones written by Wigger, cover the period from spring 1406 to the beginning of 1407. Book 3 consists of 14 written and 10 blank pages, book 4 of 12 written and 8 blank pages. Hinrich von der Trupe probably kept the four books because he wrote “Liber Hinrici de Trupe” on the back of an attached document. Occasionally Trupe made notes on individual events, such as the construction of the Friedeburg , of the construction costs of which he noted just under 1440 marks, or he wrote down a war song that was probably bypassed. The entry for the construction of the Roland , which accordingly cost 170 marks, does not come from Trupe's hand.

The deliveries of beer are not noted, although quantities were used here that the brewers could not provide. However, many Bremen citizens had brewing rights. That is why ten of the twelve councilors alone supplied beer from their own production, among them Hinrich von der Trupe. It is possible that the councilors regularly delivered a certain amount from their supplies, which was then credited to their lap. Hinrich delivered “2 tunnen bers”. Trupe Steine ​​also contributed to the construction of the Friedeburg.

Johann Oldewagen and the Lords of Bath Hinrich von der Trupe and Hinrich von der Hude took out a loan of 144 marks in 1412.
