Life

Brüning was the son of the Westphalian businessman Nikolaus Brüning. According to the records of Jacob von Melles, he himself immigrated to Lübeck from Flessen in Westphalia. Adolf Brüning was head of the Lübeck orphanage from 1656 to 1681 . In 1687 he was elected to the city council and worked there several times as a treasurer.

He was married to a daughter of councilor Adolf Rodde . Its epitaph was created by the Flemish sculptor Thomas Quellinus and is located on the fifth wall pillar of the south aisle in Lübeck's Marienkirche . Badly damaged in the air raid in March 1942 , only parts of it have been preserved.

He owned the apartment building at An der Untertrave 96 in Lübeck , which he did not live in himself.
