Henry III. from Grönhagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry III. von Grönhagen (also Henricus; * before 1470 ?, † 1540 Lüneburg ) belonged to the Lüneburg patrician family von Grönhagen with the talking coat of arms (the green "Hag" or hedge). He was a Sülfmeister and held various public offices.

Live and act

Heinrich was the son of Heinrich II von Grönhagen and his wife Mette Schütte, daughter of Petri Schütte. Henry III. was since 1487 Sülfmeister and 1499 councilor and patrician in Lüneburg. In 1488 he married Margarete von Sanckenstede, daughter of Mr. Nicolei. Heinrich was councilor or senator since 1498 and held Harburg Castle and Bailiwick from 1511 to 1517 and Lüdershausen Castle from 1511 to 1540 from the City Council of Lüneburg. A message in Schomaker's Chronicle reports that he died in 1540 in an epidemic of dysentery in Lüneburg. His wife died in 1544 and the marriage remained childless.

The home of the Sülfmeister Heinrich III. Grönhagen was on the Ochsenmarkt, across from the town hall complex and between the Duke's House and the house of Hieronymus von Witzendorff.

Foundations and memorabilia

The House of Mercy bore the Grönhagen coat of arms. This facility served to alleviate the need of those in need in Lüneburg. In the chapel, a “commendist” had to read mass three times a week. The commander was probably built by the councilor Hinrik von Grönhagen, because according to a record from 1525 she was gifted with a pension of 20 marks from his brine. The house must have been expanded in 1537 and 1539; it bore the coats of arms of Grönhagen and his wife Margarete von Sanckenstede.

In St. Johannes zu Lüneburg a colored glass window was the Senator “ Dn. Henrici Gronhagen “(Dn = Dominus) dedicated. In 1746, the alliance coats of arms could still be seen in the south side of the nave , including Gronehagen (a silver bar in red, accompanied by nine silver balls at the top and bottom) / Sanckenstede (a silver bar in black, covered with three images of the morose breasts dressed in green). Above these, which together with those from Döring and Sneverding, formed a line, there was “probably” an execution of St. Catherine.

In the monastery of Ebstorf , a glass window in the nuns' choir showed a diamond field with a Mohrenkopf coat of arms (bar covered with two Mohrenkopf) of Margareta Sanckenstede - after 1522. Diameter of the medallion 18.5 cm with white tape, after 1520. The text reads "Margareta uxor" ( Wife - not yet widow after 1520).
