Gregorius Luppe (* around 1582 in Quenstedt ; † October 5, 1636 in Delitzsch ) was a German Magister, the right-wing candidate , chief town clerk and syndic of the trade fair city of Leipzig and one of the first civil manor owners in the Electorate of Saxony .

Life

Gregorius Luppe came from the county of Mansfeld and had completed an education in the area of ​​the Electorate of Saxony - including since August 5, 1595 at the grammar school in Schulpforta . Even when he was a minor, it was deposited at the University of Leipzig in the winter semester of 1591. There he took up legal studies in the 1601 summer semester when he was of legal age. Here he acquired his bachelor's degree in philosophy on March 13, 1602, and advanced to a master's degree in the same sciences on January 27, 1603. Luppe entered the service of the city of Leipzig in 1607 as a lower town clerk, to whose senior town clerk and syndic he was promoted in 1610. On October 6, 1617, he signed an important copper contract with the Counts of Mansfeld for the City Council of Leipzig.

In 1616 he bought the house Markt, today's number 16 (corner of Petersstraße) , but in 1625 sold the house's wine bar to the merchant Michael Bernoulli.

After the unfortunate death of his wife in 1623, he resigned and retired to his Paupitzsch estate . The considerable fortune which he had made enabled him on January 6th / 8th. February 1626 to purchase the two manors Neuhaus and Petersroda for 47,000 guilders from the city council of Delitzsch, after leasing them for several years from 1622. Even before the final acquisition of the manor, from 1624 he had to take legal action against the Kossaten zu Petersroda, who had sued him in the appellate court for controversial services. Shortly afterwards, the destruction of the Thirty Years' War forced him to leave the manor so that he and his family settled in Delitzsch, which was safe at the time . He died there on October 5, 1636 , but was transferred to Paupitzsch and buried there.

Luppe had two very good friends whom he employed as co-tenants of his two manors. They were the lawyer and court advisor Gabriel Tünzel in Dresden and Polycarp Leyser , professor and doctor, assessor at the consistory in Leipzig as well as superintendent and pastor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig.

Gregorius Luppe came from the old Delitzsch patrician family Luppe, which in the past had often helped out the town of Delitzsch with sometimes considerable sums when the town was in distress when it came to paying obligations. His father was the Delitzsch-born Magister Theologiae of the same name and pastor of Quenstedt , who was killed by the plague shortly after the birth of his son. Mosbach, daughter of the Sangerhausen superintendent Simon Mosbach. His only brother was Johannes Luppe, who worked as a Russian councilor in Greiz , and one of his cousins ​​was Johannes Luppe, Mayor of Delitzsch . After the untimely death of his father, his mother brother, the Chancellor of the Electorate of Saxony, Samuel Mosbach the Elder, was probably of particular importance for his career .

Gregorius Luppe was married on May 6, 1611 to Maria Volckmar (born January 24, 1599 in Leipzig, † April 29, 1623 in Leipzig), who drowned in a water trough on the market in Leipzig in 1623 under unexplained circumstances. Maria Volckmar was a descendant of various old Leipzig councilor families. Through her sister Catharina Volckmar (1596–1642) Luppe was related by marriage to the important councilor Joachim Anckelmann (1592–1641), through her sister Sabina Volckmar (1598–1634) with his friend Polycarp Leyser . Luppe's marriage to Maria Volckmar had six children, including his son of the same name, Gregorius Luppe, who was born in Leipzig in 1612 and, after studying theology and philosophy at the University of Leipzig, was ordained a pastor in Groß-Kyhna (now part of Neukyhna ) in 1637 .

The Leipzig bookseller and publisher Andreas Luppius (1654–1731) is a grandson of Gregorius Luppe, the theologian and superintendent Johann Samuel Luppe is a great-grandson. The Lord Mayor of Nuremberg Hermann Luppe (1874–1945), the Protestant pastor and educator of Friedrich I von Anhalt Karl Luppe (1819–1867) and the well-known German papyrologist and classical philologist Wolfgang Luppe (1931–2014) are his late descendants.
