Wernher Ereman
Wernher Ereman (* before 1414, † after 1472) was a Swiss politician.
Wernher Ereman (also Erimann) came from the Basel eight- burger family of mint masters. 1432–1445 he sat on the council as a representative of the Achtburger, but had to give up his council position because he did not want to part with an Austrian fiefdom . 1446-1454 he held the office of chief guild master (second highest office after the mayor). He came under pressure again when he settled in the dispute between the city of Basel and Duke Albrecht VI. von Habsburg struck on the side of the latter, and fled to Rheinfelden in Upper Austria, where he was mayor from 1458–1460 and 1463.
