Heinrich
de Boor * 16?? - † before 1700 Fuller |
Heinrich
is a member of the reformed church, which is based on Calvin's teachings,
and is present mainly in Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, also in Scotland,
Hungary, North America, but only in some parts of Germany, e.g., in Hanau,
one day downriver from Mainz, a stronghold of the catholic church, but hardly
more welcomed by the Lutherans who, again admitted to Hanau, there begin
to build the church of St. John in 1658. Next to the already reformed church
of St. Mary, and the reformed French-Dutch double church, consecrated in
1609, in Neustadt Hanau. Heinrich meets here likeminded people who view themselves as already here on earth predestined to heaven or hell, as evidenced by well and badly done work, including the provable economic success. In addition, they have their own interpretation of the Eucharist, practice strong church discipline and a simple church service, whose conduct is in the hands of preachers, elders, deacons and teachers. Heinrich ist trained as `Walkmüller' [fuller], a trade of use in the production of cloth along with the weaver and the dyer, and indispensible for winter clothing, whose products are still present in our days in felt coats, felt hats, felt covers and felt shoes. In those days, one used for this the so-called `Walkerde', a kind of clay that helped the felting process and, these days, replaced by other means and used only for the removal of fats and oils. This rather involved process was then called `fulling' [`Walken'] for short, consisted of compression, by pushing or punching, of the cloth, infused with this grey-brown clay. The invention of this process goes back to a Frenchman... Heinrich is perhaps an offspring of the 47 Walloon and 47 Dutch families which, until then more or less put up with in Frankfurt am Main, were brought into the Neustadt Hanau at its founding in 1599, or appearing in official documents since 1609 when Clément du Boys, the "French preacher", twice married and d. 1640, is brought there, or when Jean Jacob Debois, member of the Walloon congregation is buried in 1673. Heinrich is mentioned by name in the Marriage Book of the Church of St. Mary, on 12.02.1700 and called there `Heinrich Dubor, an already dead fuller here in town'; the occasion is the marriage of his son Peter Dubor, but there is no mention of Heinrich's possibly still living spouse. |
