Johann Kletze

Johann Kletze (* in the 14th century in Hamburg ; † January 16, 1428 there ) was a German merchant and a Hamburg councilor .

Origin and family

Kletze was a son of the Hamburg city rider Heyne Kletze. He was married to Geseke geb. Schreye, used Clingspor. After the death of her husband, she is said to have donated the Sankt Elisabeth Hospital together with Simon von Utrecht , Count Adolf von Holstein and Mayor Hein Hoyer , which opened in the Maria Magdalenen Monastery in 1528 .

Live and act

Kletze took part in the battles against the Vitalienbrüder in May 1400 in East Frisia and in 1408 in Flanders. In 1410 he became a member of the Sixties and in the following year 1411 he was elected councilor. As such, he traveled to Flanders as an envoy in 1416 with the future mayor of Hamburg, Hein Hoyer, became a customs officer in the same year and in 1419 took over the collection of the pound duty to finance the war of the Schauenburgs against Denmark . In 1420 he took part in the conquest of Bergedorf and concluded the contract between Lübeck and Hamburg regarding the office of Bergedorf in 1422. Before the official introduction of the bailiffs in Bergedorf , Kletze took over the administration of this office from 1422 to 1426.

In 1427 the Hanseatic League took part in the war against Denmark on the side of the Schauenburgs . As the leader of the Hamburg troops, Kletze was involved in the siege of the city of Flensburg and is said to have ordered beer to be served to the mercenaries on the evening before Ascension Day in 1427. The mercenaries caused a fire in the city of Flensburg and triggered the alarm. Count Heinrich von Holstein thereupon ordered the attack and fell in the failed attempt to storm Flensburg. As a result, the Hamburg and Lübeck troops withdrew from the siege against the will of the Schauenburgers. Kletze was brought to court in Hamburg as the alleged perpetrator of the failed attack and sentenced to death. On January 16, 1428 he was executed by the sword.
