Georg Türke (also: Georgius or Georg, der Jüngere und Turken , Türk , Türke , Türken or Türck , Türcke , Türcken and variations of these first and last names; * August 1593 , † March 24, 1678 in Hanover ) was a German lawyer and Mayor of the city of Hanover and respondent in Rostock at the university there .

Life

Georg Türcke the Younger came from the Hanoverian merchant family Türke , who have been in Hanover since the Middle Ages from 1300, over the centuries made several members of the city ​​council and after whom the Türkstrasse , which was built in the north of the city in 1861 , was named.

Turk was related or professionally related to three other, legally trained and doctoral mayors of the old town of Hanover. Henning Lüdeke (1594–1663), Georg Türke, David Amsing (1617–1684) and Conrad Julius Hagemann (1637–1684); all four were lawyers and no longer - like their predecessors in the Middle Ages - long-distance traders; the curriculum vitae of all four could be made accessible in particular through traditional funeral sermons. Some of them sat on the city ​​council at the same time , although close relatives shouldn't actually sit on the council together.

In the summer semester of 1614 around Easter from March 30, 1614 to Michaelmas on September 29 of that year, the "Hannoueranus" Georgius Turckenius enrolled at the University of Rostock with matriculation number 64 , but he also spent his long studies at other universities.

In the middle of the Thirty Years' War , the Turk married Anna, the older sister of Elisabeth von Anderten, around 1622 . Also from 1622 and until 1624, the master mason Joachim Pape built the original building of the (later so-called) house of the fathers on Leinstraße near Mühlenstraße for Georg Türcke and his father-in-law Ludolf von Anderten .

Because of Türke's wedding, Turk was now brother-in-law of Henning Lüdeke and during his entire term of office also councilor and syndic of the city of Hanover and then his colleague mayor for five years. Where by the Guelph , meanwhile, the royal capital raised place Georg Turk in 1654 came in succession to Jacob Bünting then to be up to his death 1678 ongoing post as Hanoverian mayor. During this time he worked temporarily with Henning Lüdeke, who was also elected mayor of Hanover, in whose house he crowned the writer and arithmetic master Johann Hemeling with a laurel wreath on behalf of the poet Johann Rist and in the presence of numerous dignitaries of both sexes .

After the city counsel David Amsing had succeeded the late mayor Lüdeke in 1663, the Turk ran the official business parallel to Amsing.

Around two weeks after his death, Georg Türke was buried in the Aegidienkirche on April 5, 1678 .

In the year of Turk's death, he was followed in 1678 by Conrad Julius Hagemann, who was also awarded a doctorate, in the office of mayor.
