Jacob Lubbe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacob Lubbe (* around 1430 in Groß Lichtenau near Marienburg in West Prussia ; † shortly after 1500) was a Danzig merchant and author of a historically important family chronicle.

Life

Jacob Lubbe's birthplace, the village of Groß Lichtenau, is located on the Großer Marienburger Werder and at the time belonged to the Teutonic Order of Prussia . He came from a godly family and was pious himself all his life. When Jacob was ten years old, his father apprenticed him to the Danzig merchant Sanau, a relative. There, Lubbe soon proved to be so capable as an apprentice that his teacher sent him on business trips to Antwerp with assignments . As a businessman he later accompanied Sanau on business trips. Lubbe married in 1465 and began writing his family chronicle that same year. Lubbe then ran his own retail business in Danzig and was accepted into the merchant guild. He continued his notes until 1489.

Lubbe's family chronicle has been included in the chronicle of his descendant Martin Gruneweg , who called himself Brother Wenzel as a Dominican .

After him, Lubbe's retail business in Danzig was owned by Jacob Rohboze, who had been the mayor of Marienburg and who had married Ursula, a daughter of a sister Lubbe's.
