biography

Wilhelm Hoen, the oldest son of Jost Hoen, born around 1539 , returned to his hometown after completing his studies at the University of Wittenberg . At the Dillenburg Latin School he worked as a sub-schoolmaster from Easter 1562 with an annual salary of 52 gulden. The high school master was then Magister Johannes Pistorius von Biedenkopf, known as Johannes Bidencap .

On August 25, 1566 Wilhelm Hoen moved his field of activity to Siegen , where he took over the position of a land clerk. In this he is attested for the years 1577 and 1579. Then he went, probably at the instigation of his father-in-law, the former Herborn town clerk Jost Behr, with whose daughter Güta (Güthe, Gütgin) he had married in Dillenburg in 1569 (Dillenburg mayor bills 1569/70), and in 1582 to Herborn to take his place to step. Wilhelm Hoen died on November 7th, 1602. The successor in the position of Herborn town clerk then appeared on June 23rd, 1603, Wilhelm Hoen's son, Andreas Jakob, who was born around 1576. With this branch of the Hoen family began the series of Herborn town clerks whose descendants have long been attested in the various offices.

Wilhelm Hoen's children are known

• Andreas Jakob, born around 1576,
• Anna Maria, born around 1570/71, and

Anna Maria married the Herborn Magister Johannes Gottsleben on September 14, 1589 (cf. Traubuch Herborn) and Catharina married the pastor in Kölschhausen / Wetzlar district, Johannes Geysius, who died after 1632. From Catharina's marriage come Anna Maria, the wife of the Herborn citizen Walter Lott, and the later Herborn deacon Johann Heinrich Geysius. Catharina Geysius, nee Hoen, became - probably after 1635 - the second wife of the Heimberger Johannes Pulver in Sinn and died on April 14, 1675 at the age of 86 (Totenbuch Herborn and Steubing, Topographie der Stadt Herborn, p. 188). Andreas Jakob Hoen attended the Herborn Pedagogy and then from 1594 to 1599 the Johannea High School, which was then relocated from Herborn to Siegen. When Siegen was covered by a prolonged plague and teaching at the high school was completely stopped, he traveled to Jena with his cousins ​​Anton (II.) And Philipp Heinrich Hoen in 1597 and enrolled at the university there . In Speyer he was appointed imperial notary and on December 4th, 1600 married Margarethe Stöver, daughter of Hilchenbacher and Ferndorf pastor Johann Georg Stöver. After the death of his father, Andreas Jakob took over his position as Herborn town clerk on June 23, 1603, which he held until he died on July 4, 1652. To commemorate his parents Wilhelm and Güta Hoen, Andreas Jakob placed a cast-iron grave slab that is still preserved on the inside of the wall of the old cemetery in Herborn - near the Leonhardsturm.
