Life

Daniel Frese, who was married to Magdalene Egmondts, began his activities in Dithmarschen in the vicinity of his birthplace Meldorf. From 1568 to 1572 he worked in Hamburg . His main work was created in Lüneburg since 1573. During the time of his work in Lüneburg, Frese was mentioned almost annually in the municipal combing accounts between the years 1572 and 1610. Research by the Hamburg art historian Barbara Uppenkamp has shown that the artist signed his works using the Frese spelling .

In order to be able to carry out some of Heinrich Rantzau's cartographic assignments as truthfully as possible, Frese often seems to have traveled to the places and landscapes he depicted. Various orders also served as trial documents in court and should thus represent the facts in question relatively correctly. (At least in the opinion of his client).

The images of the places in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum are of great documentary value beyond their artistic quality . The theologian Georg Braun and the engraver Frans Hogenberg published the world's first comprehensive collection of cityscapes . Braun was in close contact with Heinrich Rantzau, who was able to place an order with Daniel Frese. In Volume 5 of 1598 a Meldorfer view appeared, which Frese related to the year 1560.

Equally important - for example for the history of building and settlement - are works such as the land table of the County of Pinneberg from 1588 or the family tree of the Rantzaus with the image of the mansions on their edge (around 1585–87). For many places and buildings or even entire landscapes, Frese provided the first reasonably reliable depictions.

Offer of a reward

On May 7, 2011, KIM projects with the creativity economy in the art space of Leuphana University Lüneburg awarded a Daniel Frese Prize for contemporary art in the Lüneburg region for the first time . As a sub-project within the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, KIM is part of the Lüneburg Innovation Incubator, which is funded as a major EU project by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
