Matthias Hütlin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matthias Hütlin († 1524 in Pforzheim ) was a clergyman and between 1500 and 1524 the hospital master of the Pforzheim poor house.

Since 1901 he has been the editor and author of the Liber Vagatorum printed in Pforzheim by Thomas Anshelm before 1512 - from then on he was in Tübingen .

Life

Hütlin was a member of the Order of the Holy Spirit, which was primarily devoted to caring for the poor and the sick. Therefore he had contact with the circles described in the Liber Vagatorum .

After he was already active as a "provisor hospitalis" in Pforzheim, he was elected hospital master in Pforzheim on May 27, 1500 by the General Chapter of the Order in Strasbourg on the suggestion of Margrave Christof I. von Baden and on October 23, 1500 by the Vicar General of the Upper Germans Order Province confirmed in this office.

In 1514 he obtained the right for the Pforzheim hospital to choose the master itself. In 1524 brother Nicolaus Vaseman was appointed as successor to Hütlin, which suggests his death.
