Johan Brambach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johan Brambach (* in Worbis ; † September 4, 1616 in Lübeck ) was council secretary and council syndicus of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and provost of the Lübeck monastery .

Life

Johan Brambach enrolled in the winter semester 1583/1584 to study at the University of Erfurt and graduated with a master's degree. At the beginning of 1591 he was appointed council secretary of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. As a member of the Lübeck legation under Mayor Conrad Garmers and Councilor Heinrich Kerckring and the interpreter Zacharias Meier , he was with Tsar Boris Godunow in Moscow in 1603 .

In 1607 the Lübeck Council helped him to prepare a preposition at the Lübeck Cathedral because of his services . Brambach was the first municipal provost after the comparison between city and cathedral chapter of 1595, who granted the council an alternating right of presentation ; the provosts who came into office in this way were excluded from participation in the chapter and were not considered canons. In consideration of this new dignity as provost, the Lübeck cathedral chapter proposed in return that Johan Brambach be elevated to the position of Syndicus of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck , i.e. to make him a member of the council. He was therefore appointed to the third council syndicate in 1610. At the time of the appointment it was specified that he should sit in the Senate between the Syndici and the oldest councilors, but should stand “extra senatum ... post consules supra decanum et syndicos”, i.e. immediately after the mayors, for external appearances such as funerals . He died in 1616 and was buried in Lübeck Cathedral.
