Gottfried Liebernickel
Gottfried Liebernickel (with books verifiable since 1690; † 1707 ) was a publisher in Hamburg.
Gottfried Liebernickel had his bookstore in Hamburg's cathedral (the big booksellers all had their book stands in the city's churches, which brought them a lot of public traffic). Benjamin Wedel was one of Libernickel's employees at least from 1700 to 1705. He later went into business for himself when he married in Nuremberg - he organized Liebernickel's presence at the trade fairs in Frankfurt and Leipzig.
Since 1690, Liebernickel's wide range of publishing houses has included regular theology alongside Kaspar von Stieler's teaching works and Daniel Georg Morhof's Dissertationes Academicae & Epistolicae (1699). Liebernickel's best-selling and probably most expensive author was Christian Friedrich Hunold , whose first novel he published in 1700, and to whom he promised two Reichstaler per printed sheet after the extraordinary success .
Hunold's letters to his friend Benjamin Wedel (letter of December 18, 1707, p. 145) show that Liebernickel died in late autumn of that year.
