Life

Its origin is not documented, the family name Lysen is probably a derivation from Liese or Liesen. This is a common name around Brilon. He was in his second marriage to Eva Elisabeth Unkraut, geb. Kannegießer married, the marriage was concluded in 1763.

The lawyer Dr. Lysen was judge at Hirschberg , Mülheim an der Möhne , Belecke and Rüthen . He was rentmaster and syndic of the Ballei of the Teutonic Order in Mülheim an der Möhne and held the title of court counselor . As a hunting advocate for the Duchy of Westphalia, he was a permanent member of the state parliament. In several files he is named as deputatus patriae .

In 1759 it was noted in the council minutes that Lysen and his family were granted civil rights. Because of his special services to the city (which it is is not documented), the otherwise due citizen allowance was waived.

In the same year, in November, his later brother-in-law Everhard Jodokus Kannegießer , as well as another citizen of Brilon rejected the election as mayor. The choice fell on Lysen, who accepted the office. In total he was elected mayor of Brilon thirteen times. He was officially mentioned as mayor in 1760, 1764, 1774, and 1780. From 1765 to 1772 he was interim mayor, contrary to the regulations of the city council, he was lifted into office by the curatorial council without the required waiting period of twelve months between re-elections. a judge's decision (the judgment has not been handed down) was not made until 1772. Until then, Lysen remained in a higher place, confirmed mayor.

His wife's first husband was the owner and shareholder in various mines, and Lysen continued to work as a trade. Among other things, he was co-owner of the calamine mine in Brilon and smelting works and hammer mills.

He also had agricultural property; in 1777, five horses, seven cows, eleven pigs and two donkeys were taxed at four thalers and nineteen groschen when the cattle were estimated. In 1784 there were three servants and three maidservants in wages and bread.

Lysen died in 1786 of a serious wasting disease . In the Book of the Dead he is honored as consul providissimus huius civitates (as the very caring mayor of this city) .

His inheritance came from the son Johann Heinrich Unkraut from his wife's first marriage.
