Life

Nothing is known about Lemeier's origins. Perhaps he was a student at the Johanneum School of Scholars . Only one brother named Johannes is known. Lemeier himself enrolled on June 28, 1550 at the University of Wittenberg , on August 1, 1552 he was also entered in the register of the University of Rostock. In Wittenberg he first completed a degree in philosophical sciences, where Philipp Melanchthon became his formative teacher. On July 31, 1554 he obtained his master's degree in philosophy and on October 18, 1556, he was accepted as a lecturer in the philosophy faculty of the Wittenberg University. He found his new apartment in the Wittenberg Lutherhaus . On April 8, 1561 he became professor of rhetoric at the Wittenberg University and in 1574 switched to the chair of dialectics and ethics.

He also participated in the organizational tasks of the alma mater. In the winter semester 1564/65 and in the winter semester 1571/72 he was dean of the philosophical faculty, and in the winter semester 1570/71 rector of the university . Since he refused to put his signature on the Saxon Agreement formula in 1580 , he was dismissed from his post. He moved to his hometown, where he got a position as Senate Secretary in 1581. In this capacity he was active in negotiations in Stade in 1587 and was present in Itzehoe in 1588 . On February 21, 1588 he became a Hamburg councilor and when the tower of St. Nicholas' Church was ignited by a thunderstorm in 1589 , he campaigned for its restoration.

Lemeier had been married twice. His first marriage was with a woman from Hamburg named Katharina († January 12, 1569 in Wittenberg). In 1570 he got a second marriage in Hamburg with Sophia Besteborstel, the daughter of Hamburg councilor Diedrich (Theodor) Besteborstel. From the children we know:
