Johann Glandorp (Councilor)
Johann Glandorp (* around August 21, 1556 in Münster ; † September 23, 1612 in Lübeck ) was a German merchant, patron and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Johann Glandorp was a member of the Schonenfahrer and was also close to the merchant company under the commercial guilds . Shortly before his death in 1610, he was also elected to the city council.
As early as 1603 he set up the Glandorps Hof as a foundation in Glockengießerstrasse 49-51 in the Renaissance style . The purpose was to offer free living space to 14 "widows of respectable class" . This purpose of the foundation is also expressed in Latin in the inscription on the representative portal to the monastery courtyard. The Glandorpshof is one of Lübeck's outstanding hallways and courtyards . The Glandorps Gang in Glockengießerstraße 41/43 was built for the same purpose on the basis of a will after the death of his wife Anna († 1625). The corridor and the courtyard were connected to one another in 1625. The Glandorps coat of arms (around 1640) is on the facade above the entrance of the street-side front building in front of the corridor. Today the passage is connected to the Illhornstift (No. 39). After modern renovation, the aforementioned facilities now comprise 30 apartments. The facility is under monument protection and is part of the world cultural heritage of Lübeck's old town.
Glandorp had an epitaph by the sculptor Robert Coppens in St. Mary's Church . The portal of his private house at Fischstrasse 34, which was destroyed in the air raid on Palm Sunday 1942 , was the only component of the building that survived the destruction and is now located in the rebuilt Schabbelhaus at Mengstrasse 50. The portal inscription MORTALIUM + NEGOTIA + FORTVNA + VERSAT in the upper area of the terracotta frieze by Statius von Düren is led by Adolf Clasen with "The people's business is thwarted Fortuna." translated.
