Life

Anton von Stiten's date of birth is unknown. In 1512 he began studying at the University of Rostock . In 1525 he became a member of the circle society.

In 1528 he was elected to the council . He was a Protestant early on and supported the Lutheran concerns towards the council from the start. Two of his brothers-in-law, Marcus Tode (father of Christoph Tode ) and Heinrich von Calven, were members of the 64 committee that negotiated with the council on taxes and the introduction of the Reformation in Lübeck . After the introduction of the Reformation had been decided on June 30, 1530, Anton von Stiten traveled as the city's envoy to the Reichstag in Augsburg, where he negotiated with the Lutheran imperial estates. On February 27, 1531, as a representative of Lübeck, he signed the accession to the Schmalkaldic League . He was also one of the councilors who worked out the new church order together with Johannes Bugenhagen .

After the unsuccessful privateer war against the Dutch instigated by Jürgen Wullenwever , he traveled with the mayors Jürgen Wullenwever and Joachim Gercken to Hamburg in March 1534 for peace negotiations . When Wullenwever and Marx Meyer left the negotiations prematurely because they feared opposition to their policies in Lübeck, Anton von Stiten rode after them. Although he reached Lübeck before them, he could not prevent Wullenwever from bringing the people and the council behind him again. All opponents of Wullenwever's policy, including Anton von Stiten, were expelled from the council . After the defeat in the war against the Duke of Holstein and the Peace of Stockelsdorf , the citizens forced the restoration of the Old Council in November of the same year. At the Hanseatic Day in Lüneburg and during the negotiations with Christian III. from Denmark after the feud of counts in 1535 he represented the city again. In 1540 Anton von Stiten became mayor.

In addition to his work as councilor, he held offices created by the new church ordinance as the civic head of St. Jürgen , the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital , the inn in Mühlenstrasse, the Zarrentin poor house, the cathedral and the Marienkirche .
