Albert von der Bruges († 1430 in Lübeck ) was a Lübeck merchant and councilor.
Life
Albert von der Bruges was elected councilor in 1402 as the senior man of the Lübeck mountain drivers . In 1404 he was together with the councilor Konrad von Alen commander of the Lübeck navy in the Baltic Sea. In the following year he was a member of the Lübeck embassy, which negotiated with Queen Margaret I of Denmark on Falsterbo . He represented the city at the Hanseatic Congress in Lübeck in 1407. During the civil unrest of 1408 he was one of the councilors of the Old Council who stayed in the city. But he was not a member of the New Council. He took part in the negotiations with the New Council in Mölln and was the spokesman for the Old Council in negotiations with the citizens of Lübeck at the beginning of May 1408 in Lübeck. With the return of the old council in 1416, he rejoined the council and represented the city at Hanseatic days from 1416 to 1424 in Lübeck and 1417 in Rostock . From 1424 to 1426 von der Bruges was the treasurer of the city, to whom he left a legacy of 200 marks in his will. He had lived in the house at Mengstrasse 27 since 1400 , and later at Mengstrasse 66 on the corner of the Trave and the harbor. In the wills of Lübeck citizens he is often listed as a documentary witness and guardian .
