Life

Johann Klingenberg was the son of the Lübeck citizen Eberhard Klingenberg mentioned in 1308. He has been a councilor in Lübeck since 1337. In 1341 he became head of the Holy Spirit Hospital . In 1343 he represented the city as an envoy to King Magnus II of Sweden. In 1345 he was the town’s treasurer. He did so much for the Rehna Monastery that his daughter was given a vacancy there as a nun.

Johann Klingenberg first lived in the house at Sandstrasse 3 , then in the house at Königstrasse 77 in Lübeck. He was buried in the Petrikirche under a large brass grave plate in front of the main altar. The Lübeck councilor Johann Klingenberg († 1371) was his son.

Brass grave plate

His monumental brass plaque made in Flanders with a full picture was destroyed in the air raid on Lübeck in 1942, with the exception of a few larger and smaller fragments, which were kept in the warehouse of the St. Anne's Museum and will be shown in the European Hanseatic Museum from 2015 .
