In 1532, as Omeral , he led two ships from Lübeck together with councilor Nikolaus Bardewik , which, together with other ships from the Wendish cities of the Hanseatic League , sailed to Norway under the command of Rostock councilor Thomas Kaske to help King Friedrich I of Denmark arrest the To assist King Christian II of Denmark who returned from exile in Norway . Regarding the implementation of the action, the Hanseatic councilors involved got into differences with the Danish commanders Knut and Magnus Gyldenstjern , the commanders of the embattled Akershus fortress . However, King Christian II could be brought into captivity from Oslo to Copenhagen through this intervention . In 1534 Gerhard Odingborg was together with the councilor Johann von Elpen as Lübeck's ambassador to King Henry VIII of England. As councilor he resigned from the Lübeck council in August 1535 .
