Life

Dietrich Schupplenberg came from a Westphalian family. At the end of the 13th century he immigrated to Greifswald with his older brother Heinrich. From 1310 he lived in a house on the corner of Brückstrasse and Schuhhagen and owned a booth . An important cloth trade that extended as far as Ghent in Flanders made him rich and in 1320 acquired 6 Hufen in Schönwalde and 1.5 Hufen in Hinrichshagen . Later he bought a corner house on Greifswalder Markt that he pledged in 1330 and 1331.

Around 1326 he was elected to the city council. During the War of the Rügen Succession , which was waged at the time , his farm in Schönwalde was burned down by the Mecklenburg troops with the harvest. Dietrich Schupplenberg gave 551 marks, the fifth highest amount of voluntary cash benefits to finance the war costs. Together with his brother, who gave 300 marks, he exerted a significant influence on the feud.

Around 1337/1338 Dietrich Schupplenberg was elected mayor. In this capacity he first appeared in 1338 when selling an urban meadow. In 1341 he represented the city when purchasing the Wackerow estate .

Dietrich Schupplenberg founded the younger line of the family in Greifswald. As far as is known, he had three sons. His nephew Heinrich Schupplenberg also became councilor and mayor in Greifswald.
