Benedikt Schlicker († November 18, 1591 in Lübeck ) was a German merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Benedikt Schlicker was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1552. He held the office of treasurer of the city several times, from 1569 to 1571, from 1572 to 1575 and from 1579 to 1590. His account book that he left behind is an important supplementary source to the city's treasury book, which partly shows the financing of Lübeck's expenses in the Three Crowns War to let. In August 1571 he belonged to the embassy of the councilor and later Lübeck mayor Heinrich Plönnies to the Danish court in Copenhagen. In 1582 Schlicker and the councilor Johann Lüdinghusen signed a contract for Lübeck with the cathedral chapter of the Ratzeburg diocese for the replacement of the tithe in the Lübeck villages of Ritzerau and Behlendorf .
From 1553 Schlicker lived in the house at Königstrasse 55 in Lübeck. In his will he stipulated a larger amount, the interest of which financed a scholarship.
