Joachim Brandis the Younger (born October 27, 1553 in Hildesheim ; died January 13, 1615 there ) was a German local politician , Hildesheim mayor and city ​​chronicler .

Life

Joachim Brandis the Younger was a son of the Hildesheim Mayor Joachim Brandis the Elder and his first wife Anna Deichs or Anna Dick (died 1588). The princely councilor Caspar Borcholt (1538–1599), who had the imperial house built in Hildesheim, was his brother-in-law.

Brandis studied at the University of Erfurt , but dropped out due to illness.

In the period from 1592 to 1603 Brandis was elected mayor of Hildesheim several times.

After he had copied the annals written by his uncle Tile Brandis by 1574 , he began to work on the diaries of his grandfather Henning Brandis in October of the same year . He summarized the two writings to a representation of the period from 1454 to 1553 in one volume under the title Hundert Hildesheimische Jahr .

Brandis wrote another volume - based on Tiles annals and interwoven with the writing of his own experiences from 1573 and up to 1609 - using, among other things, the chronicle of Johannes Oldekop . The "careful and descriptive chronicle [... by Brandis] was highly valued by the city council and also outside Hildesheim", for example in Magdeburg , and was used as a reference work , among other things .

family

Brandis married Anna Wedemeyer, daughter of the Brunswick Councilor Konrad Wedemeyer, on May 21, 1587 in Hildesheim.
