Adrian Müller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adrian Müller (born April 13, 1573 in Aschersleben , † October 23, 1644 in Lübeck ) was a merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in the 17th century.

Life

Müller was elected councilor in Lübeck in 1619 and held the office of builder in 1626. In 1636 he acquired the Lübsche Gut Mori immediately west of the city outside the Lübeck Landwehr in Holstein .

He was initially married to Emerentia, b. Lunte (from the family of the mayor Gottschalck Lunte ), and after her death with Elisabeth Köhler, a daughter of the Lübeck mayor Heinrich Köhler . He lived in the house at Schildstrasse 10 in Lübeck and had been head of the Aegidienkirche opposite from 1632 , in which he was buried. His richly engraved bronze tombstone was artistically designed by the typist and arithmetic master Joachim Sager in 1642 and was located in front of the altar. In 1874 it was discovered by a coppersmith and bought by the Lübeckische Geschichte association; it later came to the St. Anne's Museum .

His son Heinrich Adrian Müller converted to the Roman Catholic Church and in 1673 became imperial resident, i.e. governor, in the imperial city of Lübeck. The house at Schildstraße 10 in Lübeck was given the house name Das Lange Haus der Müller (Long House of Millers) after the residents .

In 1635 Müller took the portrait painter Michael Conrad Hirt into his house as a war refugee; Hirt stayed in Lübeck until Müller's death and created a number of portraits of Lübeck personalities of that time and their family members. Adrian Müller suffered from gout and could not leave his house nine years before his death.
