Nis Hinricksen (also: Nis Henriksen , Nis Hinrichsen , Nis Hinriksen , Nis Hansen ; * approx. 1478 in Hajstrup; † December 3, 1554 in Bylderup ) was the legendary Hardesvogt of the Schluxharde from 1519 to 1554 .

Life

Hinricksen became known because he had to decide as an arbitrator at a large meeting in his Harde between the supporters of King Christian II of Denmark and his much younger brother Friedrich I of Schleswig-Holstein as King of Denmark (and Norway ). He decided on Frederick I, who shortly after became King of Denmark and exiled Christian II. The decision had been pending for a long time and Nis Hinricksen was chosen as the oldest Hardesvogt, who as Hardesvogt also held the court office, to pronounce a judgment between the warring parties. A thing (meeting) was prepared in Urnehöved, to which both parties should appear. It is reported that Nis Hinricksen prepared himself well for this: He probably trained his milk-white horse to top form in running and jumping, "that none of them could match him in strength and speed". He also bought a thick red felt coat.

When the day came, there were, on the one hand, the peasants who stood behind Christian II and, on the other hand, the Schleswig-Holstein knights and landowners who were gathered behind Friedrich I. As a Schleswig-Holsteiner, the sentence has been passed down: “The people of the country keep up with the country child.” With this he spoke out in favor of Friedrich I, who resided in Gottorf. Knowing that the party he decided against would shoot arrows and pursue him, he gave his horse the spurs and left the thing place with his trained horse in the thick red coat, jumping over obstacles and ultimately hiding in the forest until he could trust himself out again. His red coat with several arrows in it hung in the Bylderup church for centuries. "The coat was still hanging there in 1786, but it finally fell down completely rotten and was swept out with the rubble."

Friedrich I later rewarded him with the Hajstruphof Chamber Estate out of gratitude.

family

Nis Hinricksen himself probably came from a Danish noble family (Staverskov). His parents were Henrik Pedersen (* approx. 1454; † approx. 1509) and Ellen. His descendants include many prominent and influential Schleswig-Holsteiners, for example Andreas Ambders , who later was a pastor in Bylderup himself. Nis Hinricksen's grave slab is probably still there.
