Johann Dargetzow († 1365)

Johann Dargetzow (approx. † 1365) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Wismar .

Life

Johann Dargetzow (Darghetzowe) the elder, in contrast to the younger bearer of the name, were both representatives of the Wismar City Council at the Hanseatic Days . The elder represented Wismar's interests since 1358 both in the negotiations because of the action against Flanders in the Second Boycott of Flanders and because of the First War of the Hanseatic League against King Waldemar IV of Denmark. He worked on September 8, 1361 in the conclusion of the treaty with King Magnus II of Sweden and Norway and his son Håkon , as well as on November 16, 1362 in the armistice with Waldemar. Dargetzow also played an important role in the subsequent negotiations, represented Hamburg's interests at the Hanseatic Congress in 1363 and last appeared in these matters in the recession of 1365. He must have been very wealthy and was Prince Vogt in Wismar in 1332, and in 1341 he was councilor for the first time documented and proven as mayor of the city in 1350. His will dates from 1364; for his son Nikolaus Dargetzow (perhaps the pastor of Beidendorf in 1396) he founded a vicarie. He will have died in 1365.

The Dargetzow family owned a family chapel in the Marienkirche in Wismar .
