Cord Fribusch

Cord Fribusch (also: Cord Vribusch and Kord Fribusch ; * before 1431; † 1476 ) was a bell caster , gunsmith and rifleman who worked in northern Germany in the 15th century in the area of ​​today's Lower Saxony in the cities of Hanover , Lüneburg and Bardowick .

Life

Cord Fribusch, who presumably derived his name from the Vrybosch forest in Flanders between the towns of Ypres and Dixmuiden , lived in a house in Hanover in the 15th century in the old platea cuprifabrorum , the Gropengeter or Kropengeter-Strate , after having worked as a copper hammer Called Kopperschlägerstrasse. The street stretched from the Großer Wulfeshorn to the Kleiner Wulfeshorn and later became part of the Osterstraße of Hanover in what is now the Mitte district .

Presumably in 1431 Fribusch went from Hanover to Lüneburg. After he had created a baptismal font for Hittfeld together with Laurentius Grove from Lüneburg in 1438 , Fribusch was the municipal gunsmith in the service of the Lüneburg City Council from 1442. As such, it was requested, for example, by the castle captains of Lüneburg to maintain their guns, or the city council sometimes loaned it to the pleading sovereign . Fribusch's additional activity as a bell founder was not only tolerated by the council, but also promoted. This mixture of several handicrafts is also illustrated by the building of the municipal building yard, which at the beginning of the 15th century still bore the name “Büchsenhaus”, while the new building was then called the bell house.
