Life

The businessman Arnold Sparenberg was elected councilor in Lübeck in 1396. In 1399 he was in command of the Lübeck fleet in the Baltic Sea. In the course of the civil unrest in Lübeck at the beginning of the 15th century, after the removal of the Old Council in 1408, he did not go into exile with the majority of the councilors; he stayed in Lübeck, but was not one of the councilors who negotiated with the citizens on May 5, 1408 about the replacement of the council. In 1416 he did not rejoin the Old Council when it returned. In the wills of Lübeck citizens he is often listed as a documentary witness and guardian .

Arnold Sparenberg was the owner of Mengstrasse 36 from 1370 onwards . His daughter Margarethe married the Lübeck councilor (in the New Council) Burkhard von Hildesem .
