Barthold Saffe

Barthold Saffe († 1615 in Lübeck ) was a merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

The merchant Barthold Saffe was elected to the Lübeck council in 1597 . In 1609 he no longer took part in the affairs of the council and did not appear at the meetings. Despite the pronounced travel ban, the Leipzig trade fair is said to have been more important to him than the tasks of the council. He was therefore removed from his council offices, but not excluded from the council (after Fehling the "office appalled") and was not reaffirmed in his offices after his subsequent remonstration. In terms of traffic jams, he remained a councilor, but was not allowed to attend the meetings or hold council offices. As a councilor relieved of all rights and duties, however, at his funeral he received the two-hour burial bells of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, which a councilor is entitled to .

He was born with Anna Klever, the daughter of the Lübeck citizen Albrecht Klever, married and lived in the Hoghehus at Koberg 2 , which his wife brought into the marriage. The Lübeck lawyer and councilor Heinrich Saffe was their son.
