Joachim Peters (* 1712 in Lübeck ; † November 27, 1788 ibid) was a merchant and mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Peters came from a Wismar family and was elected to the Lübeck council in 1755 from the merchant corporation of the Novgorod drivers. In 1773 he became mayor of the city. As a businessman, he worked with Mattheus Rodde in a trading company. His epitaph is in the former Warendorp chapel, a southern side chapel of Lübeck's Marienkirche . It is a work by the Strasbourg sculptor Landolin Ohmacht , which was created around 1795.

He lived in the house at Breite Strasse No. 12. In 1762, he had a hall furnished in this house on the ground floor of the garden wing with elaborate paneling carved in oak. The city of Lübeck acquired this listed interior in 1905 and moved it to the house at Fleischhauerstraße 20 , which was then used as a military casino and later as the tax office , where it is still used by the city administration today. It is one of the outstanding Rococo rooms in Lübeck's old town.
