Grave slab Andreas Angerstein in Lübeck Cathedral

Andreas Angerstein (* in Nörten ; † October 4, 1570 in Lübeck ) was a German Roman Catholic clergyman , canon and from 1561 cathedral dean in Lübeck.

Life

Angerstein was a master and licentiate . He was first a canon, then provost of St. Peter's Abbey in Nörten , where he actually resided as one of the few provosts until 1556. He was canon in Ratzeburg and canon at the collegiate monastery of the Liebfrauenkirche in Halberstadt . At Lübeck Cathedral in 1545 he received the right to prebend from Gottschalk Eriksen. On February 28, 1561, a relative majority of the cathedral chapter elected him cathedral dean to succeed Johannes Tiedemann . He held fast to the old teaching and traveled several times to Rome ; but resided in Lübeck from 1556 until his death. When Duke Christoph zu Mecklenburg took over the government of the Ratzeburg diocese as administrator himself at the age of 25 in 1562 , he appointed Angerstein and the Ratzeburg cathedral dean Lorenz Schack as his governors - in the hope that Angerstein would help him, also in Lübeck after the death of Johannes Tiedemann to become bishop. But since Eberhard von Holle was already coadjutor , he had the right of succession and so Angerstein could not do anything for Duke Christoph.

Angerstein died by drowning . In his will, drawn up in 1566, he thought of his housekeeper, the widow Anna Strunken from Cologne , who had looked after him since 1546, in the event that she should raise children from him ; He divided up his library: his cousin, Canon Ernst Uthermolen, received the legal works and literature in artibus ; he bequeathed theological literature to St. In the collegiate church where he was baptized, a Holy Mass was to be held every Friday in his memory.

He was buried in Lübeck Cathedral under a monumental (334 x 194 cm) figure grave plate , which shows the standing figure of the deceased in a traditional chasuble and a goblet in a renaissance arched niche . The Lübeck councilor Johann Friedrich Bagge was the subsequent user of the tombstone in the cathedral . Today it is erected under the Norderturm opposite the staircase to the organ. The Angerstein or Bagge Chapel is now used as a sacristy .

His successor as Domdekan the chapter chose the former auditor of the Roman Rota , John Holthusen .
