Johann Koep (upper age, around 1550)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Koep (* around 1550 in Hamburg ; † 1611 ibid) was a Hamburg senior citizen .

Life

Koep was a son of the senior elder in the parish of Sankt Petri , Hinrich Koep († 1586). In 1596 he was elected a jurate . In 1602 the Hamburg citizenship elected 100 citizens (the so-called Hundred Men ), including Koep, to work out a new recession with the Senate . During this recession, under protest from the Senate, the Council's oath, unchanged since 1497, was read to the Hundred Men . These now demanded that the Senate should reform the council oath, as well as the citizen oath. After several drafts, the new oath was accepted in a settlement of January 22, 1603. In 1606 Koep was elected as the successor to the later mayor Johann Wetken († 1616), elected senator in 1605 , as senior elder in the parish of Sankt Nikolai . In 1609 Koep became a corpse sworn , finance citizen and in the same year also President of the College of the Elderly.

Foundation, endowment

Shortly before his death in 1611, Koep bought a building in Kurz Mühren Street , in which he had vacant apartments set up for poor women without children. The building later fell victim to the expansion of the city and the divine apartments were moved to Frickestrasse 20 in Hamburg-Eppendorf in June 1894 . The apartments designed by the architect Julius Faulwasser still exist there today.
