Henning Rüdem (also: Rüden or Rudenius ; * around 1500 , † around 1553 ) was a German printer at the time of the Reformation . As the first entrepreneur of his kind, he ran “ a real printing company in Hanover ”.

Life

So far, Henning Rüdem was first proven in 1537 in Wittenberg because of his " Handel " there. From 1539 he was in the service of Duke Heinrich in Wolfenbüttel and printed for him, among other things, diatribes against his political opponents.

In 1543 Rüdem was brought to Hildesheim by the reformer Antonius Corvinus . Henning Rüdem was active in Hanover either from the same year 1543 or from 1544 and until 1549. In Kramerstrasse there , he printed theological and liturgical works on behalf of Corvinus and others . During this time, a total of 22 prints were made in the Rüdems “workshop” in Hanover, including for example

• an Evangelical Lutheran "Ceremonies" book for the Principality of Calenberg ,
• 1544 the Christian Kerckenordeninge of the löffliken city of Hildesheim ,
• 1546 The fürnemeste Artickel our Christian religion in Christian gesenge brought
• as well as the first hymn book of the Hanoverian church .

At the same time in Hanover, Rüdem ran a “ bookshop ” on the local “Hokenmarkt” next to the Marktkirche , from where his printing works were mainly sold to the city of Hanover and the Calenberg-Göttingen region .

After Rüdems main client Antonius Corvinus was arrested in 1549, Henning Rüdem returned to Wolfenbüttel, where he returned to the service of Duke Heinrich.
