The Pömer von Diepoltsdorf were a patrician family of the imperial city of Nuremberg , first mentioned in a document in Nuremberg around 1286. The Pömer were, with short interruptions, represented in the “inner council” from 1395 until the end of the imperial city time in 1806 and belonged according to the “ dance statute "To the" new "advisable genders. In 1814 they went out.

history

The ancestry of the Pömer is not clear. According to the Haller book of 1533, they came from Pomerania and are said to have lived in Nuremberg as early as the late 13th century. In 1286 a "Pomero" was first mentioned in Nuremberg; 1289 an Ortlieb, son-in-law of Pomero (possibly a member of the Ortlieb patrician family ); In 1302 and 1311 the daughter of a Pomero. It is unclear whether these people belong to the later Pömer patrician family.

The Pömer carried out long-distance trade and were married to members of important patrician families such as the Behaim , Haller , Kreß , Pfinzing and Tucher .

In 1395, Georg Pömer was the first member of the family to be represented on the Inner Council and thus became a member of the Nuremberg patriciate . Hector Pömer, the most important representative of the family, was provost of St. Lorenz . In 1522 he appointed Andreas Osiander to be a preacher and thus significantly influenced the Reformation in Nuremberg. Today a street in the Großgründlach district of Nuremberg commemorates him.

In 1689 Georg Christoph Pömer acquired the eponymous manor house of Diepoltsdorf through his marriage to Maria Magdalena Stockammer (Stockamer) and the Pömer have called themselves " Pömer von Diepoltsdorf " since then . In 1697 the addition to the name was recognized as a title of nobility. Georg Wilhelm Pömer had to sell the manor again in 1760 due to economic difficulties. With Georg Friedrich Wilhelm von Pömer von Diepoltsdorf, the Pömer died out in the male line in 1814.
