Life
Dreyer was the son of a businessman from Lemgo and did his commercial apprenticeship in Lübeck, from where he traveled to Denmark and Sweden on behalf of his principal . In 1697 he became a citizen of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and founded his own trading business. He became a member of the Lübeck Schonenfahrer and in 1722 was elected councilor of the city from their ranks . In 1732 he was appointed mayor and combing lord in the council . After his death in 1737 he was given an epitaph in the Petrikirche , which burned with the air raid on Lübeck in 1942. The brass inlays of his grave slab, a second use of the grave slab with inlays for Jürgen Pavels in the Marienkirche have been preserved and are now hung in the south aisle.
His son, the lawyer Joachim Hinrich Dreyer , became council secretary in Lübeck in 1735. The later mayor of Lübeck, Franz Bernhard Rodde (politician, 1721) was his son-in-law.
