from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mattheus Packebusch (* in Stendal , † 14. December 1537 in Lübeck ), a German lawyer, was syndic and Mayor of Lübeck.

Life

Packebusch was presumably the son of the mayor Arnd Packebusch in Stendal, had studied law at the University of Leipzig and obtained a doctorate in both rights. From 1495 to 1522 he worked as the syndic of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck . As a Syndicus, he is considered to be the first legal scholar in northern Germany to come from a family capable of advice. During this time he accompanied the Lübeck interest policy on its important foreign stations such as

  • 1495 Wismar
  • In 1496/97 he advised the Hamburg mayor Hermann Langenbeck together with Albert Krantz on the revision of the city law ( city ​​book ), which became law in 1497.
  • 1498 Narva
  • 1499 Bruges
  • 1503 Copenhagen, Stralsund, Rostock
  • 1504 Münster, Bruges
  • 1506 Kiel
  • In 1512 he was together with the Hildesheim canon Mattheus Meyer representative of the Wendish cities in the dispute with the Netherlands
  • 1513 with Christian II in Copenhagen, "as well as with Dutch delegates on the extension of the armistice"
  • 1514 in Bremen for peace negotiations with the Dutch
  • which continued in Antwerp in 1516
  • In 1521 he represented Lübeck at the Reichstag in Worms

In 1522 he was elected to the council of the city of Lübeck, while maintaining his protocol status as Syndicus immediately after the four mayors and before the other councilors. Fehling suspects, even while maintaining his salary.

In 1525 he represented Lübeck in the arbitration negotiations between the archbishop and cathedral chapter of Bremen and the city of Bremen.

In 1528 he was elected one of Lübeck's mayors in the council. He remained a representative of the old order and opponent of the Reformation throughout his life . In contrast to Hermann Plönnies and Nikolaus Brömse, he stayed in Lübeck during the civil unrest of the Reformation and, like the fourth mayor Joachim Gercken , was imprisoned for three days at the Lübeck town hall in April 1531 . At the end of 1532 he resigned from the council because of advanced age, but rejoined it on November 12, 1534 and ensured a certain continuity after Jürgen Wullenwever's disempowerment .

Packebusch was married to Christine, b. Stanchion. From the couple's sons, Arndt Packebusch went to Reval and was councilor and mayor there from 1542 to 1571. Hieronymus Packebusch was councilor in Lübeck (1541–1550).

He is considered to be a possible client of the painting of the side wing of the house at Mengstrasse 60 , which was created around 1500, with a representation of the root of Jesse .
