Nikolaus Bardewik
Nikolaus Bardewik (* 1506 in Lüneburg ; † July 25, 1560 in Odense ) was a mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .
Life
Nikolaus Bardewik was the son of the Mayor of Lüneburg Heinrich Bardewik . This Lüneburg family Bardewik is not related to the older Lübeck council family von Bardewik , whose most prominent member was the chancellor and Lübeck mayor Albert von Bardewik .
Nikolaus Bardewik was elected to the city council in Lübeck in 1527. As councilor he served his city in a variety of functions: in 1532 he was the commander of the Lübeck fleet together with councilor Gerhard Odingborg and together with the councilor from the citizens' committee of the 64 Godeke Engelstede as the city's ambassador to the Danish King Friedrich I at the court in Copenhagen. In the turmoil of the Wullenweverzeit he resigned from the council for a few months in 1534. In the years 1535, 1536 and again in 1544 he was the treasurer. He also represented the city as envoy in Rostock in 1535 and in Hamburg in 1536. In 1536 he took part in the embarrassing interrogation of Wullenwever at Rotenburg Castle in Rotenburg (Wümme) .
From 1537 to 1543 he was bailiff of the two-city offices of Bergedorf and of Mölln. In 1544 Bardewik was appointed mayor. In 1550 he negotiated with Duke Franz I of Saxony-Lauenburg , who wanted to occupy the diocese of Ratzeburg with his nine-year-old son and tried to enforce it by force. In 1554 Bardewik lent the canons 4,000 thalers to buy the Ratzeburg Cathedral .
In 1560 he was ambassador to King Frederick II at his first Diet in Odense, where he died during the mission. His body was transferred to Lübeck with great sympathy and buried on August 2, 1560 in the Jakobikirche , of which he was the head. It had an epitaph on the previous choir of the church. Johann Bocerus wrote a funeral poem for him and other members of the council in 1560.
Bardewik was married to Hedwig, a daughter of Mayor Thomas von Wickede , and both lived in the house at 10 Breite Straße . Bardewik owned a farm in Westerau . He had been a member of the circle society since 1525.
His coat of arms in the north aisle of the Jakobikirche shows a black turnip with green leaves on gold. According to the senior Jacob von Melle , the turnip on his earlier epitaph is said to have been white.
