Johann Holthusen or Johannes Holthusen (* before 1488; † January 28, 1543 ) was a German Roman Catholic clergyman at the time of the Reformation .

Life

Johannes Holthusen enrolled at the University of Leipzig in the summer semester of 1488 , where he obtained the title of Baccalaureus in 1489 .

From 1498 Holthusen was both scholaster and canonicus of the church of St. Mauritius on the mountain near Hildesheim .

Also in 1498, in February of that year, Holthusen was summoned to the church of St. Aegidien in Hanover . With the council of the city of Hanover he agreed on the salary of an organist who constantly plays at St. Aegidien . In addition to his work in Hanover, Holthusen "apparently [...] held a vicarie in Lübeck at the same time ," which he gave up in August 1500.

In August 1507 Holthusen was a Vikarie at the Hanover Market Church invested , only a little later in October of the same year with a Vikarie in Hildesheim.

1509 left Holthusen his parish of Aegidien- parish until further one deputy, "probably because he was prevented by numerous other offices in the performance of his official duties."

Also in 1509, according to a document - together with Johannes Weddinghusen - he was named church lord of the Hanoverian Kreuzkirche and head of the brotherhood of St. Trinity .

In 1535 Holthusen received a commander at St. Blasii in Braunschweig .

With the introduction of the Reformation in 1529, Holthusen was deprived of the parish Döhren , in which he had held office until then. However, he remained in possession of the feudal estates around St. Aegidien in Hanover until his death, although a Protestant pastor had already been appointed there.

Holthusenstrasse

Holthusenstrasse, which was laid out in the Hanoverian district of Döhren in 1922 and connects Peiner Strasse with Heintzestrasse, was named after the pastor Holthusen, who was in office in Döhren at the time of the Reformation , according to the address book of the city of Hanover from 1930.
