Herman Bohn is considered to be the founder of the Bohn family-line
on Bornholm and probably emigrated from Lübeck in Germany. He is
found mentioned for the first time in the financial statements of the
royal official Hendrik Brahe for the fiscal year 1585/86. Among his
expenses is listed the following: "Given to Harmenn Bonne in Rønnde
for XM bricks bought by him in Lübeck." According to this Herman Bohn
was a merchant in Rønne around 1586, and probably one of the most
influential.
We can further surmise that it was his own ship that sailed to Lübeck
for the above mentioned bricks. The above shown spelling of merchant
Bohn's given name: Harmen, is still the way in which that name is
pronounced on Bornholm today. And since the low-german spelling was
used by the royal official in 1586, it is a further indication that
Harmenn Bonne came from Deutschland; also his father's name was never
used in his signature and remains unknown on Bornholm. Herman Bohn
went on to win acknowledgement from the Citizens (Borgere) of Rønne
and he became a Councillor (Rådmand) for the town. We can find his
signature several times, i.e. in documents dating
from September 4, 1604 and April 28, 1609, where he signs himself:
Hermand Boen.
