Life

Tinnappel came to Lübeck in 1500 and was elected to the city council in 1544, where he was the treasurer from 1562 to 1566. In 1564 the council elected him one of the city's mayors . He represented the city twice in 1544 and 1549 to King Christian III. of Denmark and in 1560 at the Diet of King Frederick II in Odense . He was a participant in the meeting in Segeberg in 1563 , which ruled on the war against Sweden , and represented the city in the same year at the peace conference in Rostock . He represented Lübeck at the Hanseatic Days of 1556, 1559, 1562 and 1564. As mayor and commanding admiral of the fleet, he fought a naval battle between the islands of Öland and Gotland with the Swedes under Claus Horn in the Three Crowns War in July 1566 . On the night of July 29, 1566, his ship sank with 14 other ships and 6,000 men from his fleet in a heavy storm in the roadstead off the Gotland city ​​of Visby . His sub-admiral, councilor Cordt Wolters , however, was barely rescued.

Tinnappels epitaph , painted by Jost de Laval , hangs in St. Mary's Church in Visby . His grave slab was documented in the Marienkirche in Visby in 1853.
