Jürgen Gruwel
Jürgen Gruwel , also Georg Gruwel (* approx. 1530 in Greifswald , † July 25, 1613 in Lübeck ) was a garment tailor and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Jürgen Gruwel probably came from the patrician council family Gruwel / Gruel in Greifswald , who came from Mecklenburg, and was elected to the Lübeck council in 1580 as a result of the public recession of 1569, according to which the citizens had more participation rights . As the city's ambassador, he and Mayor Johann Lüdinghusen agreed with Lüneburg the Eßlinger Elbzoll , which Hamburg and Lübeck levied jointly at the ferry house Zollenspieker in Bergedorf by the boatmen on the Elbe . From 1602 to 1613 he was the town's treasurer.
He lived in the property at Breite Straße 101 in Lübeck. He died at the age of 83 and was buried in the Petrikirche , where his coat of arms tombstone has been preserved. It is a second use of the stone by the Lübeck councilor Konrad Schepenstede, who died in 1527 . The stone was used a third time in 1788 for the wine merchant Georg Veit Binder.
