Noter:
Occupation: Mayor (Borgmester) of Neksø.
Reference: HA note
Evidently the son of a highly reckoned citizen from Lübeck, one
Hartwig Hagefeldt, who died on February 29, 1555. None of the
Bornholmer Hartwig/Hartvig's used the surname "Hagefeldt". A son of
mayor Hartwig is thought to be Cort Hartwig, who in 1572-73 was the
manager of Hammershus Len. Augustin Hartwig is the oldest known
member of this Bornholmer family. He came to Bornholm during a time
when Lübeck had controlled Bornholm since circa 1525. King Frederik
1. had forfeited the control of Bornholm to Lübeck for 50 years
because of his inability to pay debts owed to the city; which had
aided him in wresting the throne from his brother. The natives of
Bornholm are recorded to have groaned under the Hansa's rule, and
declared "they would rather be under the Turks, than under the
German, Christian, imperial city." Augustin is mentioned in records
as being the Mayor of Neksø (also spelled Nex) in 1555. A court case
document from that year (1555) begins (in the original old danish):
"Wij effterne, Esbern Myre Byffogeth, Augustin Hartwick och Mickel

Translated to english:
"We the herein mentioned, Esbern Myre, Town-Bailiff, Augustin Hartwig
and Mickel Hansen, Mayors, Henrick Moffue and Michel . . . . citizens
of Nexø make it be known for all by our open letter that in the year
of MDLV (1555), the day after Catharin was sent before our council .
. . . and the honest man Anthonius Wiltfangh . . . . was asking for
justice on behalf of the Lübeck council . . . ." This damaged
document is kept by the state archives in the "Samlinger til danske
Kongers Historie", also printed in "Aktstykker til Bornholms
Historie", by D.J.R. Høbertz, 1851, page 251.
