Fritz Grawert (* in Lübeck ; † 1538 ibid.) Was a councilor of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and commander of the Lübeck fleet.

Grawert was the son of the Lübeck long-distance trade merchant Fritz Grawert the Younger († 1487). He was elected to the city council in 1509. In the summer of 1511 he commanded the Lübeck fleet together with councilor Hermann Falcke and defeated the Danish fleet and on August 14, 1511 the Dutch fleet off the Hela peninsula . The sea ​​war against Denmark was ended by the Peace of Malmö (1512) . During the Wullenwever period he resigned from the council in 1532. In 1535 he was again councilor . Grawert had been a member of the patrician circle society since 1501 .

Vritze Grawert was one of the founders of the St. Anne's Monastery , where his name has been preserved next to a console in the day room now known as Remter . The Marienwohlde monastery , for which his ancestors had already donated abundantly and in which a relative, Gertrud Grawert, had been abbess since 1500, received a legacy from him in 1529, when the Reformation was already beginning to spread in Lübeck.

In 1534 he recorded the devastation of the original St. Jürgen Chapel by a crowd in an outraged report that Jacob von Melle handed down and which is the only source for the lost furnishings in the chapel.

He was married to a daughter of the Lübeck businessman Georg Geverdes and lived in the house at Aegidienstraße 22 in Lübeck.
