Hartwig von Bülow , also Hartwich (* Tuesday after Dionysii (* October 12 ) 1568 , † June 11, 1639 in Ratzeburg ) was a German squire and cathedral dean of the Ratzeburg monastery .

He came from the von Bülow noble family in Mecklenburg and was the son of Hans von Bülow, heir to Pokrent , and his wife Dorothea, née. from Weyl. In 1571 he became canon at Ratzeburg Cathedral and took up his residence at the cathedral in 1599. In 1611 he was elected 12th cathedral dean by the chapter . His term of office was determined by disputes over the administration of the diocese and with the governor Clamor von Mandelsloh over the income and rights of the chapter.

As dean, Hartwig von Bülow promoted the sculptor Gebhard Jürgen Titge , who, in addition to the new high altar, also created Bülow's own epitaph in the Ratzeburg Cathedral. In 1634 he donated silver figures of the apostles to the cathedral (which were stolen in 1830) and a new baroque frame for the Gothic high altar ( apostle cabinet ).

He was responsible for the renovation of several churches of the bishopric, over which the chapter had church patronage , and donated works of art from his own fortune. This also includes the votive tablets in the church of the Carlow village church and an altar candlestick in the Schlagsdorf village church . A pew with his coat of arms from 1611 has been preserved in the village church of Demern .
