Hermann Darsow († 1456)
Hermann Darsow († December 17, 1456 in Lübeck ) was councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Hermann Darsow was the son of the Lübeck councilor Hermann Darsow from his second marriage to a daughter of Nicolaus Molenstrate. Before Trinity 1429, like his ancestors, he became a member of the patrician Lübeck Circle Society . In 1451 he was elected councilor to the Lübeck council.
Hermann Darsow was married to Gertrud, a daughter of Hermann von Stiten, and lived in the house at Koenigstrasse 37 in Lübeck . From his sister Hildegard Osenbrügge he inherited half of the Lübschen estates Moisling , Niendorf and Reecke .
In 1419 he and his uncle Johann Darsow were one of the co-founders of the Darsow altar in Lübeck's Marienkirche , from which a beautiful Madonna in the soft style made of Baumberger sandstone has been preserved from the central part of the triptych . It broke into thousands of individual pieces as a result of the air raid on Palm Sunday 1942 during the fire in St. Mary's Church, but restorers put it back together again. The original artist is not known and is therefore listed in art history under the emergency name Master of the Darsow Madonna .
