Adolf Mattheus Rodde

Adolf Mattheus Rodde (* 1655 in Lübeck ; † March 4, 1729 there ) was a lawyer and mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Rodde was the son of Lübeck's mayor Matthäus Rodde and the younger brother of Lübeck councilor Franz Bernhard Rodde . Rodde studied law at the universities in Kiel, Leipzig and Leiden. His Grand Tour took him to England, France and Italy. After graduating as Dr. jur. in Kiel (1682) he entered the service of the council of the city of Lübeck as council secretary and rose to protonotary until 1695, i.e. the first of the three council secretaries. After the death of his brother in 1701 he was elected to the city council himself. In the Council, it was determined in 1708 to one of the four mayors. In 1716 he had to entertain Tsar Peter the Great, who was arriving from Denmark, with his wife and entourage for four days in the city. In terms of foreign policy, he negotiated with Denmark because of the trade blockade of the mouth of the Trave by Danish warships lying in the roadstead in the Lübeck Bay in front of Travemünde in the years from 1717 to 1720. From 1716 to 1729 he also served as the city's mint owner .

The house of Dr. Röders in the Great Petersgrube 23 was plundered and completely demolished by members of the lower classes of the population during this uprising.
