| Abstract: | Written around the middle of the 15th century, the 3rd book of Burkhard Zink’s chronicle on the town of Augsburg was the first autobiography in the German language. The present paper focuses on the subjects and contents of Zink’s book and looks into the question why the author wrote down his memories. Zink reports in his biography about family affaires such as marriages, births and deaths of his wives and children, about his job and business, his travels to foreign countries. Thus, it gives us insight into the mentality of a new rising social class – the capitalist entrepreneur at the age of Renaissance. |
