Eberhard Hillemann (d. 1490)

Eberhard Hillemann (d. 1490) OM. German Franciscan friar and theologian from the Saxony province. Matriculated at Greifswald university in 1437 (where at that moment the University of Rostock had moved to, due to a conflict with the Council of Basel). In 1470, he issued the Tractatus de Justitia , written at the instigation of Nikolaus Lakmann, then provincial minister to overcome a personal and religious crisis (Kannemann named in the text as: 'provincie Saxonie minister meritissimus sacre theologie doctor egregius.'). The text also suggests that Eberhard had been or was at Erfurt at the time of the work's creation. A number of other texts in the same Rostock manuscript give an indication of Hillemann's disputation activities. Later in life Eberhard was the successor of Nikolaus Lakmann as provincial minister and kept that position for ten years (1480-1490). He was involved with the reform of the Greifswald Franciscan friary, and led the provincial chapters of Bautzen (1482) and Stendal (1485). He was too ill to lead the provincial chapter of Breslau (1488), which was led by his representatives Nikolaus? and Johannes Roethaw. Hillemann weas a proponent of Observant reforms among Martinian lines, in line with the ideas of the late Matthias Döring and Nikolaus Lakmann.
