Johann Springorum I
Johann Springorum was the father of Agnes Springorum and stands at the head of this branch of the family. He and his wife Margaretha Bluden (both deceased by 1568) are named as the parents of Gerrit and Agnes in a legal agreement drawn up that year. This document, made when Gerrit and Agnes prepared for a journey, not only confirms Johann’s role as their father but also shows how his children arranged the management and future inheritance of their property in Bochum.

Mutual Inheritance Agreement of Agnes and Gerrit
14 January 1568 · Bochum, Deutschland
In January 1568, Gerrit and Agnes Springorum, brother and sister, concluded a mutual inheritance agreement in Bochum in anticipation of travel. The contract appointed trusted relatives as legal representatives and established a donatio causa mortis, providing that the surviving sibling would inherit the shared house and property, while fixed monetary legacies were assigned to their other brothers. The agreement further regulated the settlement of debts and safeguarded the arrangement against legal challenge.
