Jacobus von der Ahe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacobus von der Ahe , also Jacob von der Aa (* before 1557 in Lübeck , † October 1580 there ) was Council Secretary of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck.

Life

Jacobus von der Ahe was the son of the Lübeck citizen and businessman Johann van der Aa. The family, who immigrated to Lübeck from the Netherlands in the 14th century, had a silver, triple A covered with a golden crown in a red field as the family coat of arms . Jacobus von der Ahe began his studies at the University of Leipzig and matriculated on December 18, 1557 as Jacobus von der Awe Lubecensis at Leucorea . He received his master's degree and then worked in Livonia for a few years . On January 5, 1564 he received the position of Council Secretary of the Lübeck Council and was immediately sworn in. He worked as Council Secretary in Lübeck until 1570 and then resigned from Lübeck's service, probably at his own request. His further path in life can be inferred indirectly from an undated petition he wrote to the council of the Hanseatic city of Wismar , in which he stated that he had got into private hardship through no fault of his own and that he had stayed in various places.

Jacobus von der Ahe was married to Margaretha Castorp, daughter of the Lübeck citizen Engelbrecht Castorp and granddaughter of the councilor and mayor Heinrich Castorp († 1512). He died in Lübeck in October 1580. The children together were buried in the Castorp family grave in the Katharinenkirche , where the grave slab with the corresponding inscriptions has been preserved.
