Hans Drege

Presumably Drege's self-portrait with compass and yardstick in the Fredenhagen room (house of the merchants in Lübeck).

Hans Drege even Trege ( bl. 1572 - 1585 in Lübeck ) was a German carver of the Renaissance .

Hans Drege was a freelancer in Lübeck. His career and life data are unknown. He gained importance for art history through his main work, which is also the only surviving work of his. It is the paneling and coffered ceiling for the Dornse of Lübeck merchant Klaus von Berken from the community house Schüsselbuden 16 / corner of Fischstrasse , which was created in the years 1572 to 1585 , which fell victim to the air raid on Lübeck in the Second World War. This house went to the Lübeck long-distance merchant and Spain driver Thomas Fredenhagen in 1692and also served this great Lübeck patron as a community center until 1709. As early as 1840, the paneling was taken over as the “Fredenhagenzimmer” in the then newly built house of the merchants at Breiten Straße 6–8 . Coffered ceiling and paneling were from the Bildschnitker Drege as ornate carvings with over 1000 figures and portraits (including his self-portrait), marquetry and inlaid alabaster - reliefs that a workshop in Mechelen , made be attributed and signed with the initials. Drege's work is one of the main works of the Renaissance in Lübeck alongside the work of the carvers and magistrates Tönnies Evers the Elder and his son Tönnies Evers the Younger .

The naming as Fredenhagenzimmer is a bit misleading.
