Tile Wardenberg (also Thilo von Wardenberg, Tielo Wardenberg; died 1390 ) was an influential Berlin patrician and mayor of Cölln , who campaigned for the first in the power struggle between Wittelsbachers and Luxemburgers over the Mark Brandenburg .

Life

Little is known about his life. Nevertheless, his activities and personality inspired several historical novels (see literature); after all, it was considered significant enough to be presented in the Siegesallee of Kaiser Wilhelm II next to Otto V. von Wittelsbach . In 1375 a Tile Wartenberg was named in a Landbuch of the Mark Brandenburg as a citizen of Berlin. He ran the twin cities of Berlin / Cölln together with the Berlin Mayor Albert Rathenow . Both enforce that a Berlin troop contingent fought against the Archbishop of Magdeburg, who was allied with Emperor Charles IV . After Karl had finally acquired the mark for the Luxembourg house in 1373, he had his opponents removed from the Berlin council.

Wardenberg played an important role in the reconstruction of the twin cities after the city fires of 1376 and 1380. On the other hand, he is said to have used his position to use up money from the city coffers for his own purposes and to cover crimes committed by friends. He was then deposed as mayor, sentenced to death and executed. According to an entry in the Berlin city book from 1391, he was charged with a total of eleven offenses.

Tile Wardenberg was portrayed in Berlin's Siegesallee as one of the secondary characters of Otto the Lazy (group of figures 12) . The sculpture has been preserved and is exhibited in the Spandau Citadel .

The life of Tile Wardenberg was shaped several times in the 19th century literary, u. a. by Willibald Alexis and Julius Wilhelm Otto Richter .

Tile-Wardenberg-Strasse in the Berlin district of Moabit has been named after him since January 9, 1901 .
