Dietrich von Broemse (* 1540 ; † August 18, 1600 ) was a mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .

Life

Broemse came from an old Lübeck council and patrician family originally from Lüneburg. He was the son of the Lübeck councilor Heinrich Brömse and the great-nephew of the mayor Nikolaus Brömse , who had received an imperial coat of arms for himself and the family in 1532. Dietrich's mother Magdalena was a daughter of the Lübeck councilor Johann Lüneburg . Both families belonged to the circle society , of which Dietrich von Broemse was one of the new founders in 1580.

Dietrich von Broemse was elected to the city council in 1567 and appointed mayor in 1588. His first marriage was Catharina, daughter of the Lübeck citizen Andreas von Calven , and widow of Hartwig von Stiten († 1562), and his second marriage was Engel, geb. Carstens, the widow of the former lawyer and mayor Hermann von Vechtelde . He lived in the Brömserhof in today's Schildstrasse. As a dowry from his first marriage, he owned the Stockelsdorf estate and was also the owner of the Klein Steinrade estate.

In the last year of his life, the so-called Reiser unrest occurred, which lasted for almost two years. Together with the first mayor Gotthard V. von Hoeveln , Broemse represented the conservative council position in this dispute. To the troublemaker Dr. Heinrich Reiser did not upgrade too much, von Hoeveln left it to the second mayor Alexander Lüneburg to lead the negotiations. This brought her to an acceptable conclusion after Broemse's death on November 28, 1600.

Dietrich von Broemse died, according to Fehling, “of a wound he inflicted with a knife,” that is, by his own hand. An old chronicle says: "On August 16, 1600, a mayor of Lübeck, Diderich Bromse, cut himself into the Gurgell with a small knife at the suggestion of Teuffels, but is said to have lived until the third day and died on August 18, On August 21st it was confirmed with city ceremonies and a golden piece of gold and was buried in S. Otilien Kirchenn. ”Despite his suicide, he was buried in the church as headmaster (since 1589) of the Aegidia Church. His tombstone is preserved in the anteroom of the von Breitenau chapel. Until 1803, his coat of arms also hung on the east side of the third south pillar of the church. His portrait hangs in the mayor 's gallery in Lübeck's town hall .

Dietrich von Broemse had two sons and two daughters. His son Heinrich (1569–1632) was married to Margaretha, the daughter of the mayor Gotthard V. von Hoeveln. He became a councilor in 1610. He owned the Stockelsdorf and Krummesse estates , which he acquired in 1618 from his wife's co-heirs. The other son Diedrich (1579-1638) became councilor after his brother's death in 1633 and represented the city in 1635 as envoy in London . He was married to Meta (Margaretha), daughter of the councilor and mayor Joachim Lüneburg . He inherited the Klein Steinrade estate from his father.
