Johann Nigemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Nigemann ( bl. 1470 - 1489) was secretary of the Hanseatic Office in Bergen , later council secretary of the Hanseatic city of Rostock .

Life

Nigemann studied at the University of Rostock from 1470 . After a turning point after the resignation of the previous secretary of the Bergen office, Hinrich Sommernat, in 1467, the Bishop of Bergen Hans Teiste certified a certificate from King Christian I from 1471 on September 1, 1475 , which the office at Bryggen issued to him an elder from the Bergen Driver's office , an assessor at the office and Johann Nigemann as its secretary. As early as October 9, 1475, Nigemann was sent to Lübeck with two other representatives of the office to report there on grievances in the Bergen office. He also took part in the Hanseatic Day in Lübeck in June 1476 together with two elderly people from the office and on July 10, 1476 in Lübeck concluded an agreement between the office and the German offices in Bergen. He did not return to Norway itself, but in September 1476 was still involved in a comparison of the German merchant in Bergen with the cities of the Zuiderzee in Bremen , albeit without the official title of "secretary". On July 27, 1477, Nigemann was named Rostock Council Secretary and a little later as the former secretary of the office in Bergen. His successor as secretary in Bergen was Theodericus Brandes from Lübeck in 1478 .

Nigemann still appears in the Hanseatic Trials of 1480 as council secretary, and possibly in the Rostock cathedral feud in February 1489 as a professor at the University of Rostock in a delegation to Bishop Konrad Loste .
