Nicolaus Tirmann

Nicolaus Tirmann (also Thirmann, Tyrman ; † 1437 in Dresden ) was a Dresden councilor and mayor . He was also rector of the Dresden Kreuzschule for four years .

Life

Nicolaus Tirmann came from Meissen and received an academic education at the University of Prague , which is why he is often referred to in the documents as Magister or Master Nicklas . At first he was the priest and notary of the dean at the cathedral chapter of Meissen , but in 1413 he took over the office of Dresden city clerk. In this function he was responsible for the drafting of all town charter and documents as well as keeping the town books that were still preserved from 1404.

After the schoolmaster and rector of the Kreuzschule Peter von Dresden had to give up his office and leave the city because of his support for the ideas of Jan Hus , Tirmann took over the vacant office of rector in 1413. During this time he wrote the oldest surviving school regulations in Dresden. In 1418 he gave up this double function and was only active as a town clerk until 1424.

In 1424 Nicolaus Tirmann was elected mayor of Dresden for the first time and has been a member of the council since then. In 1434 he took over the office of treasurer and was thus responsible for the entire city finances. He is also named mayor again in 1427, as well as in 1430, 1433 and 1437. In his last year in office, Tirmann died and left a widow.

In addition to his official work, he operated the garment cut . In addition, from 1431 he and Peter Zcuzcke owned the village of Boderitz , which both had bought from Jordan, a court Jew.

Tirmannstrasse in the Dresden district of Kleinpestitz is reminiscent of Nicolaus Tirmann .
