Johann Hugo von Lente
Johann Hugo von Lente (* 1640 in Bremervörde ; † January 16, 1718 ) was a German lawyer who was a diplomat and Schleswig-Holstein statesman in the service of several kings of Denmark.
Life
Johann Hugo von Lente first attended the Knight Academy in Lüneburg until 1658 and then studied at the University of Helmstedt . In 1662 he and his brother Friedrich (1639–1677) set out on the then mandatory Grand Tour through Italy, France and the Netherlands. In 1666 he entered the Danish service as chamber secretary to Princess Anna Sophie of Denmark as the future Electress of Saxony. King Friedrich III. von Denmark set von Lente from 1673 as a councilor and diplomatic representative of Denmark in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck . In 1676 Lente represented Denmark as an extraordinary envoy to the Reichstag in Regensburg, 1679 in Frankfurt am Main and 1682–84 to the Rhenish electors in Cologne. In 1685 Lente was appointed envoy to the Brandenburg court in Berlin. He was then installed in the government of the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein . He was first Vice Chancellor in the Danish Chancellery in Glückstadt an der Elbe. As Plenipotentiary Minister he represented Denmark at the Peace of Traventhal (1700) at Traventhal Castle near Segeberg . Johann Hugo von Lente rose to the position of Danish Chancellor of the Duchies and was thus directly subordinate to the governor for the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein . At the same time he was bailiff in the Segeberg office .
He was a Knight of the Danebrog Order since 1695 . Johann Hugo von Lente, heir to Fresenburg and Sarlhausen , was married to Margarethe († 1715), daughter of the Lübeck councilor Matthias von Bornefeldt . He and his wife were buried under the baroque grave chapel designed by the Flemish sculptor Thomas Quellinus in the south aisle of Lübeck Cathedral . The portal of the chapel with its four groups of pilasters in Corinthian style and the lavishly laden cornice above it falls apart from the other baroque grave chapels of the aisle. The coffins placed in the chapel are those of Lentes' daughter, Charitas Emilia, and her husband, Hans Joachim von Holstein, who both died in 1720.
