Bernd Bodemann
Bernd Bodemann , also Berend Bodemmann (* before 1579; † 1624 ) was a German foundryman in Lübeck .
Life
Bernd Bodemann was the senior man of the red foundry in Lübeck. He lived at Kupferschmiedestraße 10 in Lübeck. In 1608 he asked the Lübeck council to be employed as council founder , because the previous incumbent and co-elder Matthias Benningk had died. In 1613 he worked as a Büssengeter for the city: however, he was not appointed as council founder in Lübeck until 1614, two years after Reinhard Benningk was dismissed . The Lübeck bastionary fortification was built during his creative period , so that he worked more as a piece caster , while the job of the city's bell caster took a back seat . His guns are documented in the Lübeck inventories up to 1763. In 1619 he cast the preserved evening bell of the Jakobikirche in Lübeck.
