List of the city leaders of Marburg
The list of previous mayors of Marburg in Hesse is intended to give a systematic overview of all mayors from 1450 onwards. This year represents the point in time from which the mayors and mayors are fully recorded. The first written mention of Marburg as a city is the year 1222. Until 1248 the administration of the city was the responsibility of the sovereign. The mayor Raustein was named as the first civil mayor in Marburg in 1248. According to Großmann, he could therefore be regarded as the first mayor. The first real mayor was Ludwig von Fronhausen in 1284. From this point on, the mayors were only head of the jury and negotiators with the city on behalf of the prince. No other mayors are known for Marburg until 1450.
Originally, the city was presided over by the mayor elected by the landgrave with eleven of the richest citizens as lay judges . They were given city administration and jurisdiction.
Mayor between 1450 and 1814
In the 15th century, the mayor and the first twelve lay judges were appointed by the landgrave. They belonged to the patricians or the city nobility .
The year of office always changed on St. Jacob's Day , July 25th. From 1573 the year of office and the accounting year began on January 1st.

- ↑ Note on names up to around 1800: Since there was no awareness of the need for exact spelling of names in today's sense, there were often different spellings. So there is rarely a correct spelling
