Jochim Wernecke
Jochim Wernecke , also Jochim Wernke the Elder (* around 1535; † February 1604 in Lübeck ) was a German cabinet maker and picture carver ( Schniddeker ).
Life
Wernecke learned in 1551 from the Lübeck carver Peter von Wesel . In 1565 he was accepted as a master in the Schniddeker office. By marrying the widow of his predecessor, he became a carpenter of the Marienkirche in Lübeck , which until the fire after the air raid on Lübeck in 1942 contained most of his works, which were also well documented in the church books. As the senior man of the office, he played a prominent role in his guild from 1577, and in this capacity he was sentenced to pay a fine in 1603 by the city council in a dispute with the carver and councilor Tönnies Evers the Younger .
His artistic works included several epitaphs in the Marienkirche as well as in other Lübeck churches, the mayor's stalls (Senate chair for five seats) of the Marienkirche (1574-1575), the extension of the rood screen of the Marienkirche to a singing choir (1588-1595), the Conversion of the stairs and door (1596) to the pulpit of the Marienkirche with the reliefs by Benedikt Dreyer , which has been in the church of Zarrentin am Schaalsee since 1699 , and several other Renaissance furnishings of the Marienkirche, of which only a few relics were singled out by the church and before 1942 were given to the St. Anne's Museum, so that they are still there today.
His sons Jochim II († 1641) and Matthias († before 1620) were also carvers in Lübeck, with Jochim II taking over the father's workshop and his position as a carpenter of the Marienkirche and is also proven to be the elder of the Schniddeker office. Together with Johannes Willinges he made the epitaph for Dietrich Möller in Reval in 1614 , which is exhibited in the Nikolaikirche .
