Life
Christoph Messerschmidt enrolled in 1541 to study at the University of Rostock , stating his origin . More than 10 years later he enrolled on March 10, 1552 at the Leucorea in Wittenberg . On February 16, 1557, in Wittenberg, he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophical sciences, and two of his works appeared in 1557 and 1558. In Lübeck he was first recorded in 1554 as a representative of a citizen of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 1558, as a master's degree, he was appointed council secretary by the Lübeck council for a limited term of five years. His handwriting in the Lübeck Niederstadtbuch then proves him as council secretary in Lübeck until May 1573. Afterwards he divorced his office, because he was occupied from the end of 1573 to February 1576 without the title of secretarius . He died on an unknown date before August 20, 1578 because a contract was signed with his widow on that day.
