Daniel Stockfleth
Daniel Stockfleth (born January 18, 1676 in Hamburg ; † January 29, 1739 there ) was a Hamburg mayor.
Life
Daniel Stockfleth was a son of the Hamburg merchant Joachim Stockfleth and his wife Elisabeth, b. Collin. The father died when the son was nine years old. After completing a commercial apprenticeship in Oporto , Portugal , he returned to Hamburg and operated a successful business here. In 1712 he was elected to the Senate and led together with Senator Dietrich Reinbold after the occupation by imperial troops to suppress civil unrest in the city ("internal floods") peace negotiations at the court of the Prince of Braunschweig-Lüneburg .
In 1714, Stockfleth and the Syndic Johannes Andersen negotiated to lift a ban that had been imposed on the city because of an epidemic. In the same year he took part in the coronation ceremonies of George I as a representative of Hamburg with the syndic Garlieb Sillem . After the War of the Spanish Succession , Stockfleth went to France, again with Andersen, in 1715 to represent Hamburg's rights in the peace negotiations. They negotiated first with Louis XIV and, after his death, with the Duke of Orléans and obtained confirmation of the earlier Hanseatic rights, which were confirmed on February 1, 1717 by the signature of the French king.
On November 23, 1729, Daniel Stockfleth was elected mayor of Hamburg as the successor to Jacob Faber and held the office until his death. He was buried on February 6, 1739 in the St. Petri and Pauli Church in Hamburg.
Daniel Stockfleth had been married to Margarethe, daughter of Johannes Ehler and Margarethe Relovia, since 1701. The daughter Elisabeth (* 1702) married Johannes van den Sternhof in 1725. The son Martin (* 1704) married Luera Wagner in 1731.
The Stockflethweg in the Hamburg district of Langenhorn is named after Daniel Stockfleth.
