Paulus Huthenne , also Paul and Huthen , Huth or Hutten (* in Grüningen near Gießen ; † April 28, 1532, probably in Erfurt ) was auxiliary bishop in Mainz , Würzburg and Naumburg . In the winter semester 1511/1512 he was rector of the University of Erfurt .

Paulus studied from 1485 at the University of Erfurt . After the resignation of his predecessor Johannes from Lasphe , he was designated as auxiliary bishop in Mainz on February 29, 1508 by the Archbishop of Mainz Jakob von Liebenstein and consecrated in 1509. The titular seat was Ascalon . In 1511 he was rector at the University of Erfurt. As a notary he was authorized several times by the emperor and the pope. Together with Jodocus Trutfetter he was commissioned by the Archbishop of Mainz to censor the printing of writings. In 1522 he was auxiliary bishop in Naumburg and thus the last of the diocese of Naumburg. During the Peasants' War he fled from Naumburg to Würzburg, where he stayed as Würzburg auxiliary bishop from 1525 to 1527 . In 1529 he can be traced back to Naumburg. His appearance as a founder and moneylender suggests great personal fortune. His grave slab is now in Erfurt Cathedral .
