Heinrich Rust
Heinrich Rust (born September 7, 1678 in Hamburg , † September 1, 1757 in Lübeck ) was a Lübeck merchant, councilor and mayor.
Life
Heinrich Rust was the son of the Hamburg merchant Nikolaus Rust († 1680). He attended the school of arithmetic master Valentin Heins , learned the trade and in 1705 entered the business of his father-in-law, the councilor Johann Richard von der Hardt , in Lübeck. In 1714 he took over the trading business alone. While his father-in-law had belonged to the corporation of clothing tailors, Rust became a member of the Lübeck Schonenfahrer . He was elected to the city council in 1731, where he was appointed mayor as councilor in 1743. During his term of office as councilor, the self-completion of the Lübeck council, forced by the citizens, fell in 1739 . Around 1745 Rust was head of the Holy Spirit Hospital and, together with Heinrich Balemann , Hermann Woldt and Mattheus Rodde, had the great bell of the Holy Spirit Hospital cast over by the council founder Lorenz Strahlborn and his son Dietrich. From 1753 he was head of the Marienkirche in Lübeck , where he was buried. His gravestone there can no longer be traced, but is still described in older literature.
