Hermann von Osenbrügge (* probably before 1343, † after 1390) was councilor and diplomat of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in the second half of the 14th century.

Hermann von Osenbrügge represented the Hanseatic city of Lübeck from 1363 in a number of missions of its foreign policy: first in 1363 as envoy to the kings Waldemar III. , Håkon VI. and Magnus II. , 1369 and 1370 with Haakon VI., 1372 with Duke Adolf VII. von Holstein and with Magnus II. and Haakon VI., 1376 again with Haakon VI. and then in 1381 to Skåne and in 1384 back to Falsterbo .

In 1382, through the mediation of Queen Margarethe I, he concluded a contract with the Vitalienbrothers in the Baltic Sea for the Hanseatic League . At most of the Hanseatic days from 1369 to 1387, he represented Lübeck's interests together or alternately with the mayor Simon Swerting and the councilor Johann Schepenstede .

Osenbrügge initially acquired half of Otto Vieregge in 1375 in the villages of Moisling , Niendorf and Reecke. The purchase price was 1650 Marks lübsche pfennigs. In 1376 he acquired the other halves of Niendorf and Reecke from Johann Schepenstede, so that these goods came fully into his possession.

He lived in the house acquired in 1352 at Mengstrasse 38 in Lübeck's merchant quarter below the Marienkirche .
