Marcus Fuchs (also Marx Fuchs ; † 1573 in Dresden ) was a Dresden councilor and mayor .

Life

Marcus Fuchs came from Hainichen and is mentioned for the first time in 1561 in the directory of Dresden council members. As the invoices received in the council archives from 1566 and 1567 show, he was responsible for the administration of the "Raths-Bierkeller". One of the privileges of the council's own beer cellar, which was located in the vaulted cellar under the town hall on the Altmarkt , was the right to dispense foreign beers and wines, while the citizens of the city who had the right to brew beer were only allowed to pour their own beer. The beer and wine stocks stored in the Ratskeller were the property of the council, which had the serving done by an innkeeper appointed by him. This was also responsible for the observance of the "pacification", whereby in the case of violations such as fights or insults, severe penalties could be imposed on the guest concerned. In 1564 the Dresden Ratskeller was expanded by two additional drinking rooms.

1567 Marcus Fuchs was elected mayor of the city and took over this office in accordance with Council Regulations 1570 and again in 1573. He also served from 1567 to 1572 Hospital Master of Maternihospitals . In his last year in office he died in Dresden.
