Schilling of Solothurn

The family of the two Swiss chroniclers called Diebold Schilling was originally from Solothurn. The elder Diebold Schilling wrote the Great Burgundian Chronicle.

Klewi Schilling was a somewhat dubious character, and he was banned from the city, settling in Hagenau (Alsace), and probably died in Kaysersberg.

His eldest son Hans worked as a scribe in the publishing house of Diebold Lauber in Hagenau. Klewi's younger son, Diebold Schilling the Elder worked in Lucerne as a chancellor.
