Georg von Dassel

Georg von Dassel (born January 14, 1629 in Lübeck , † April 11, 1687 in Lüneburg ) was a German politician.

origin

Georg von Dassel came from a patrician family who lived in Lüneburg for several centuries . The family provided several mayors, including Lutke von Dassel , and councilors, including Hartwig , as well as two abbesses in the Medingen monastery in the 17th century .

Life

Georg was the son of the Lübeck councilor Albrecht von Dassel († May 24, 1657). In 1648 he began studying at the University of Helmstedt , which he continued in 1651 at the University of Strasbourg . In 1661 he became a councilor in East Frisia, ruled by Prince Georg Christian . In Lüneburg he became councilor in 1666 and ten years later mayor. His wife Anna Elisabeth came from the Töbing family, which had 11 mayors and 27 councilors in Lüneburg. The Dassel family lived in a large corner house, of which only one facade stone has survived today.

He was also called Georg the Younger to distinguish it from Georg the Elder († February 19, 1657), who had first become a Sülfmeister at the Lüneburg Saltworks , then a councilor in Lüneburg, and with Anna von Elverin (* 1604; † December 19, 1669) had been married.

He was buried in the Dassel chapel, today's sacristy, in the Johanniskirche .

Act

Door to the Dassel pulpit in Katharinen

He made various foundations. To this day have been preserved:

• a pulpit that he donated in 1669 on the occasion of the consecration of the Lorenz Church in Lübeck . It was restored in 1770 and is now in Lübeck's Katharinenkirche .
• a hexagonal art object with 58 mirror elements, in the center of which three coats of arms of the Dassel family are arranged. Together with Friderich Diderich Melbeck, Georg had this piece of jewelery made in 1675.
