Sixtus Braun , also known as Bruno or Brunus (* around 1550 in Döbeln ; † July 18, 1614 in Naumburg (Saale) ), was a German town clerk and syndic of the city of Naumburg (Saale) and from 1592 to 1614 mayor there .

Family and private

Braun was probably born in Döbeln as the son of the Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and later general superintendent von Wurzen , Valentin Braun, and his wife Barbara, nee. Schreber, born. His first marriage was to Euphemia Kisse. After her death, he married Martha Wacke in 1610. Braun, who also owned the Markt 2 house in Naumburg, later also acquired the Großjena manor .

education and profession

Braun attended the Princely School of Grimma from June 14, 1563 to August 1, 1566 . This was followed by studies at the University of Leipzig . He completed the exams there on March 20, 1568 as a bachelor's degree and on January 26, 1570 as a master's degree . Nothing is known about Braun's activities in the following years. Only between 1576 and 1578 can he be proven as a registrar in Weimar . From there he moved to Naumburg as town clerk and lawyer. As such, he held a high office in the city administration, through whose skillful fulfillment he earned a high reputation among his fellow citizens. In 1592 he was elected mayor of Naumburg for the first time and was re-elected in every subsequent election until his death.

In 1613, Braun, along with his brothers and descendants, was promoted to knightly imperial nobility by Emperor Matthias .

His "Annales Numburgenses" represent a comprehensive work on the history of Naumburg from 799 to 1613, which was primarily intended to serve as a summarized representation of the rights of Naumburg in relation to other ruling territories.
