Commentary	Hans van der Berg(e) was a prominent sugar refiner. born in Diest near Antwerp about 1573, who died in 1633 (A. Poelwijk, In Dienste vant suyskerbacken, p. 256 and van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.P.G. 78(1933), p. 246 (insinuatie dated 1617) and p. 367 (insinuatie dated 1620)). He was active as a sugar refiner (at least) from 1604 to 1627. His daughter Maria, born in Antwerp c. 1586, married the sculptor Melchior van Herbach (or Harbech) in 1608 (R 28701 of Montias2). He is probably identical with Hans van der Berch,living in the Ramskooi in de 3 crayen who bought lots for 1 f. 16 st. in the Haarlem lottery of 1606 (GAA 83/39 F 634). This inventory follows an agreement whereby Hans van den Berge, suijckerbacker, sold to Jan van der Straten, merchant, to settle a debt he owed to the latter, sijn geheele rafinaderije, metten aencleven, mitgaders [...] schilderijen en anderssints (GAA, N.A. 741, film 5169). On Jan van der Straten, a buyer at Orphan Chamber auction, see the NOTES to R 27080. On 28 June 1633, Juffr. Catalina Schoten, widow of Hans van den Berge, spices merchant, named Hans Wolff in Groningen to collect money on merchandise delivered (NA 77crayen 5191, Not. Verhey).
