Albert Erp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Erp (* before 1416; † 1436 in Jerusalem ) was a German merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .

Life

Erp was elected to the Lübeck council in 1416 after the return of the old council, who had been expelled in 1408 . During the war against Duke Erich V of Sachsen-Lauenburg , he was in command of the Lübeck troops, which were stationed in Mölln , which was under Lübeck pledge . The war ended in 1420 with the Treaty of Perleberg . In wills of Lübeck citizens he is mentioned more often as a documentary witness and as a guardian . Erp was married to a sister of the citizen Johann von der Heide and lived on the property at Mengstrasse 18 in Lübeck (later the office building of the Schonenfahrer was located on this property ). He died in Jerusalem on a pilgrimage .

On May 1, 1440, the Lübeck bishop Nikolaus II. Sachau established the vicarie , donated by Albert Erp willingly, from his income from Seedorf in the parish of Mummendorf and Johannstorf in the parish of Dassow in the St. Jürgen chapel in Lübeck . Albert Erp's son Gert gave the council a number of items such as a missal , two chasubles and an antependium in September 1441 . In 1504, after the capital had deteriorated , the Vicarie was re-endowed by the St. Jürgen Brotherhood.
