Bernhard Wedemhof
Bernhard Wedemhof (born March 9, 1581 in Lübeck , † April 19, 1627 there ) was councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Bernhard Wedemhof was the eldest son of Lübeck councilor Heinrich Wedemhof . From 1596 he studied law at the University of Strasbourg - together with his brother Heinrich and Thomas Lindemann , who was traveling as a Preceptor - and from 1611 at the University of Rostock . In 1617 he was elected councilor in Lübeck. In 1620 he was together with the councilor Johann Vinhagen as Lübeck ambassador to the Swedish court in Stockholm. His epitaph, a wood carving with a portrait, was once in Lübeck's Marienkirche and was given to the Lübeck museums in 1892. Today it hangs in the St. Anne's Museum and thus escaped the air raid on Lübeck in 1942 and has been preserved.
His brother Heinrich Wedemhof followed him in the Lübeck council. Bernhard Wedemhof was the son-in-law of the Lübeck citizen Paul Wibbeking, a brother of the councilor Joachim Wibbeking . The councilor Heinrich Wedemhof was his son.
