Henning Lüdeke

Henning Lüdeke (also: Henningus Lüdeke , Lüdeken , Ludeke , Ludeken , Ludekenius , Lüdeck or Lüdecke and combinations of the name variants; * January 20, 1594 in Hildesheim ; † May 15, 1663 in Hanover ) was a German lawyer of the early modern period and mayor of the Old town of Hanover.

Life

Henning Lüdeke came from an old Hildesheim patrician family . His father was the former councilor , word holder and alterman Jobst Lüdeke (* around 1524 - † 1598), his mother was Ilse Schmiedes , who was married in 1583 and was the daughter of Hildesheim councilor Werner Schmiedes .

After he had been raised as a half-orphan by his mother in the fourth year of his life through the death of his 74-year-old father and had attended school, Lüdeke studied law in Erfurt an der Hierana from 1612 to 1516 , then in Jena at the university there and in Helmstedt at the Academia Julia Carolina , where in 1618 he submitted his dissertation, which was printed by Lucius, to the lawyer and politician Johann Stucke . Lüdeke then worked as a lawyer in his hometown. After the plague raged there in 1623 and 1624 , he left Hildesheim and attended academies in the united Netherlands , before returning to his place of birth for a short time.

Despite his stay abroad, Henning Lüdeke had meanwhile been elected councilor of Hildesheim and ultimately even mayor of Hildesheim; but Lüdeke never took up either office. Meanwhile, the intention was in him that is matured, Elisabeth von Anderten to marry (1606-1659), a daughter of the in Hanover councilman and treasurer make Ludolf von Anderten , a descendant of the old Hanoverian noble family of Anderten . In the middle of the Thirty Years War , Lüdeke married on March 4, 1627 in the Hanoverian market church St. Georgi . The marriage resulted in three sons and four daughters, only two of whom died before their father.

Through his wife Elisabeth , Lüdeke was also related to the town councilor and councilor Georg Türke , who had married Anna von Andertens five years earlier , also a daughter of Ludolf von Andertens. Henning Lüdeke was related or professionally related to three other, legally trained and doctoral mayors of the old town of Hanover, in addition to Georg Türke also to David Amsing (1617–1684) and Conrad Julius Hagemann (1637–1684). All four were lawyers and no longer - like their predecessors in the Middle Ages - long-distance traders. Their résumés could be made accessible in particular through traditional funeral sermons. Some of them sat on the city ​​council at the same time , although close relatives shouldn't actually sit on the council together.

For example, during Lüdeke's entire tenure as councilor, his brother-in-law Georg Türke also sat on the city council, before he later served as Lüdeke's mayor colleague for nine years after Lüdeke's public election as mayor on January 7, 1633.

In 1638, Mayor Lüdeke, together with Chamberlain Hermann Westenholt, was one of the delegates to celebrate the baptism of Marie Elisabeth , daughter of Duke August von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel .

A mourning poem for Jobst Lüdeke, written in 1645 by the scribe and arithmetic master Johann Hemeling in Hildesheim, did not mean the father, but the brother of the Hanover mayor.

In Lüdeke's house in Hanover, Georg Türke crowned the poet and arithmetic master Hemeling with the laurel wreath on behalf of the poet Johann Rist and in the presence of numerous dignitaries of both sexes in 1656.

Lüdeke's wife Elisabeth died on March 14, 1659 and was buried in the Kreuzkirche in Hanover . In the same year, Lüdeke gave the Kreuzkirche a new pulpit, which was probably created by the older sculptor Adrian Siemerding and which was later replaced by a pulpit by Johann Paul Heumann and Friedrich Ziesenis .

Lüdeke himself died after ten days of physical illness on the night of May 14th to 15th, 1663 in full understanding, after long prayers and after good advice and blessings for his children.

Henning Lüdeke was buried about two weeks after his death on May 29, 1663 in the Kreuzkirche at the side of his widow. The funeral sermon printed by Georg Friedrich Grimm was written by the pastor, preacher and pastor of the market church of St. Jakob and St. Georg Werner Leidenfrost . The clients for this were Lüdecke's relatives, namely the Royal Swedish Rittmeister Ludolff Georg Lüdecke , the Royal Swedish Cornet Anton Jobst Lüdecke , the budding legal scholar Jakob Heinrich Lüdecke and the widow of Christoff Wilhelm Blumen , Catharinen Elisabeth Lüdecke and the virgin Sophien Magdalenen Lüdecke .
