Bruno von Warendorp , also Brun Warendorp (* in Lübeck ; † August 21, 1369 in Skåne ) was councilor and mayor of Lübeck.

Life

He was the son of Gottschalk von Warendorps . Warendorp was councilor since 1366, mayor of the Hanseatic city in 1367 and commander of the Lübeck troops of the Cologne Confederation against King Waldemar IV of Denmark in 1368 . He succeeded Thomas Morkerk in the mayor's office . Von Warendrop died after Lübeck's successful siege of Helsingborg before the fortress was surrendered. The capture of Helsingborg laid the basis for the peace of Stralsund in the following year.

Warendorp and his father were the owners and residents of the " Buddenbrookhaus ", which became famous much later through Thomas Mann's novel . There is a memorial plaque for Mayor Warendorp in the portal of the house.

In the so-called letter chapel in St. Mary's Church , since the reconstruction after the damage caused by the air raid on Lübeck on March 29, 1942, the grave slab of the Lübeck mayor with a Latin inscription has been located. Before that, his grave was next to the mayor's chair by the choir. His iron helmet hung across from it until the 18th century. King Ludwig I of Bavaria had his name put on a memorial plaque in the Walhalla .
