His mother was Gertrud Morneweg († 1301), who continued his business after the death of her husband.
Hermann Morneweg was married to Tiburga Raceborg and lived at Königstrasse 47-49. He was the richest Lübeck of his time and donated two vicarages in the St. Johanniskirche in Krummesse at the altar of Saints John and Bartolomäus and entertained them with income from the apartment on Ratzeburg Lake , in the Gau Kaköhl. His grandson Diedrich Morneweg also became councilor in Lübeck.
