Hinrich Kerckring , also Heinrich Kerkring (* 1479 in Lübeck ; † 1540 ) was a Lübeck merchant and councilor in the first half of the 16th century.

Life

Hinrich Kerckring or Kerkring was the son of councilor Johann Kerckring . He had been a member of the influential circle society since 1515 and was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1518 . As their combing Lord he is proven in the years 1529-31 and 1535-37. Under pressure from Jürgen Wullenwever , he and other members of the Old Council had to resign from the council on April 11, 1534 and only resigned on November 12, 1534 shortly before the bourgeoisie had turned against Wullenwever under the pressure of the burden of war Peace of Stockelsdorf with other members of the old council around Nikolaus Brömse again in this one.

He was married to Katharina, a daughter of the Lübeck councilor Friedrich Joris . Both were very fond of the Lübeck Carnival ; this becomes clear from his letters to Mathias Mulich . The couple had six sons (including councilor Johann Kerkring ) and 12 daughters. The councilor Hermann Schutte and the businessman Johann Wigerinck were his brothers-in-law.

Kerckring's epitaph with a donor's picture was located on the east side of the second south pillar in Lübeck's Marienkirche and was destroyed in the air raid on Palm Sunday 1942 . It was Lübeck's first epitaph that was specially created to be attached to a church pillar.

The early history of the provenance of the Kerckring Altar in the St. Anne's Museum, which was painted in 1520 by the Dutch painter Jacob van Utrecht and which found its way back from the Brederlo collection from Riga to Lübeck, is largely unexplained .
