List of Cologne mayors

This article deals with the mayors of Cologne until 1795, for later officials see the list of mayors of the city of Cologne .

Since their first known appearance in the middle of the 12th century, the number of Cologne mayors had been fixed at two officials. This tradition , based on the model of the two consuls of the Roman Republic , remained true to the end of the 18th century.

history

Origin of the office

Since the 11th century, an urban ruling class consisting of ministerials and wealthy families had formed. They appointed the lay judges (scabini) and were the ones who from ancient times passed the judgments at the archbishop's high court . Their arrogance of class caused them to call themselves meliores , the better ones.

The body formed from the elite families of the city, the college of aldermen, carried out the first administrative tasks in the city on behalf of the archbishop. A document from 1103, for example, shows the introduction of customs duties that the merchants from Liège and Huy had to pay in Cologne. This document proves the first (as far as known) independent action of the college in civil out-of-court matters of the city. After the first city ​​expansion in 1106 ( Niederich , Oversburg ) and the subsequent one in 1182, the previously independent special communities were incorporated into the city. The claim now collected of the local wealthy families to participation in the city administration came Aldermen after by yourself with these to a brotherhood of wealthy united that the name Richerzeche received.

The families (patricians) who had ruled alone until then had been able to determine their leading personalities themselves. In the newly founded fraternitas (brotherhood), in which the richest and most powerful of the city were united, a set of rules now applied: The brotherhood was headed by magistri civium (mayors), who exercised their office in the same way as the Roman procedure when electing their consuls on an annual basis .

Electoral process

The election of two mayors at a time was retained even after the city had freed itself from the archbishop's rule in the 13th century. The mayors were elected at Christmas and on St. John's Day (June 24th), so that there was always an “older” and a “younger” mayor. The term of office of these highest city officials was limited to one year. They could only be re-elected after two years.

The document of 1321 laid down the agreements of the “narrow” and “wide” council

The tasks of the so-called “wide council” were also defined in the council's first finding aid . In contrast to the "narrow council", to which only the members of the long-established patrician families belonged, the extended council consisted of 82 members. With the approval of the patricians who had previously been the sole determinant , wealthy traders and financiers from the special parishes were added to the “wide council”. The economic power emanating from this section of the population helped it to gain recognition and participation in the rule. The “wide council” was initially only an advisory body to the “narrow council”. For the time being he remained subordinate to this and only acquired new responsibilities over time.

Mayoral courts

Around 1375, the council appointed mayors as heads of a court specially set up for food control. There was the mayor's court for minor debts and market police matters on the grain market in front of the rainbow house and another in the meat shop .

The mayor's and civil servants' court in the town hall had been set up for major debts and real estate disputes. In 1391 the Richerzeche lost its last authority, the election of mayor, to the council. After the forced change of power in 1396 by the guilds, the division of narrow and wide councils into two parts was replaced by the formation of a unified magistrate.

Functions and Income

The Transfix letter (lat. Transfigere = pierce) of December 1513 was an additional agreement in which the regulations of the composite letter were supplemented. The additions also provided for greater control by the council. The new regulations forbade the council from lending money, spending on privileges, selling pensions or charging new consumption taxes without the consent of the community. The 44ers were the controlling body .

In December 1690, the council, in agreement with the 44ers, decided to introduce a new salary regulation for the city's representatives, the mayors. These then received an annual lump sum of 1000 Reichstalers , a rent master was granted 800 Reichstalers. The officials who were replaced after the expiry of their term of office remained a member of the city government and, despite their placement in other areas of responsibility, continued to receive their old salaries. They functioned as rent masters of the rent chambers or as presidents of the department stores (cloth halls, meat halls etc.). They achieved further income as head of the mill table , as provisional agents of the old university and the hospitals, but also often as court lords at the numerous courts of the city.

Appearance

Mayors from four centuries in traditional official attire

• 

  Johannes von Esch, called Broelmann, mayor 1488–1492

• 

  Johann Lyskirchen, around 1595. The Lyskirchen family was represented in Cologne politics until the 17th century

• 

  Maximilian von Kreps around 1677. Twice mayor. Councilor and banner owner of the Windeck merchants' gaff

• 

  Johann Jakob von Wittgenstein around 1799, was appointed mayor of his hometown in 1803

In addition to the white mayor's staff, the external characteristic of a Cologne mayor was his red-black or red-purple Mi-Parti clothing. It consisted of a two-tone coat with a black shawl collar over the shoulders. All councilors wore the black hat.

Lore

References to the families, which have ramified widely over the centuries and are often related by marriage, can be found in many documents from medieval and modern collections in the Cologne Archives and the State Archives in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Hermann von Weinsberg

Hermann von Weinsberg, 1540. The councilor at the age of 22. Work by an unknown draftsman (Zeughaus Köln)

There is also something instructive to be found in the writings of Hermann von Weinsberg , a Cologne councilor in the early modern period . Weinsberg , who reported on the conditions of his time through detailed descriptions, also researched his predecessors. Many of these people of the old Cologne patriciate, who were also mentioned by him, were listed in his notes in connection with various events. In some cases, Weinsberg describes their place of residence as well as family events such as birth, marriage, illness (plague) or death. To the well-known families, who usually also held the high offices of the city, he mentioned:

“As I also dared the mayor here, I must have thought that at the beginning I was thinking about jaren. after the sulch, however, and the mayor sinters the entire bourgeoisie, I don't just want the register, dero, as it was in miner zit, but also the van anfanck de verbunt breifs anno 1396 uffgericht, with name and surname, according to order, and in addition to the name, the date wat jarß is first mentioned, after the name of everyone the number like many a mail everyone has been in the mayor, as follows "

- Source:

Version in today's German:

Because I was mayor here too, it reminds me that from the beginning of this memorial book I should have thought of you from year to year. But after this has been done and the mayors are the highest heads of the citizenry, I want not only the register of those who were there in my time, but also those who were drawn up from the beginning of the Verbundbrief from 1396, by first names and remembering surnames and according to order, but also put the date in front of the name in which year they were first chosen, after each name the number of how often he was in the mayor's office follows.

The data given by Weinsberg are to be seen today as an important part of the knowledge regarding the historical sequence of Cologne mayors.

Official

A certificate for the Ziechenweber (Leineweber) from the year 1149 called in the Intitulatio the representatives of the city Mr. Arno , Vogt, and count in the first place. The lay judges followed, then the representatives of the upper class (the better ones ): ... ab aduocato Ricolfo, a comite Hermanno, a senatoribus, a melioribus ...

Not all terms of office were recorded from the High Middle Ages, the representation is very sketchy.
