Life
Gaetano Medini was appointed to the court of the later Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I in Mecklenburg-Schwerin around 1800 . He received the title of chief chef at the court. Medini was the chef of the kitchens in the residence and later ran a pavilion on the Kamp during the annual summer stay of the grand ducal family in Doberan .
Medini was married to the Swede Maria, nee Hjort (1766-1821). The builder Carl Theodor Severin , who was responsible for many buildings in Heiligendamm and Doberan, built a house for Medini around 1825 near the Kamp in today's Severinstraße 5. Gaetano Medini lived there until his death in 1857. The building is now a listed building.
Gaetano Medini, who later called himself Gustav Medini, was a member of the St. Andreas Freemason Lodge. He was buried in the old cemetery at Doberan Minster . His grave slab made of natural stone on the eastern wall of the monastery, framed by bricks, is crowned by the remains of a classical triangular gable.
