Johann Lübbecke

Johann Lübbecke (* between 1515 and 1520; † around 1590) was a German university professor in Copenhagen and mayor of Treptow an der Rega .

Johann Lübbecke was a son of the council member or mayor of Greifenberg in Pomerania Jakob Lübbecke and his wife Katharina, née. Bugenhagen, a sister of Johannes Bugenhagen . In October 1533 he enrolled at the Leucorea in Wittenberg . In 1537/38 Lübbecke accompanied his uncle Bugenhagen on a trip to Denmark and enrolled at the University of Copenhagen . He did not stay there long, however, but led a relatively restless life: he took part in the Turkish war, traveled to French countries, Venice, Nuremberg and Augsburg. Around 1543/44 he probably obtained his master's degree in Wittenberg and then headed a school in Brandenburg an der Havel for two years . On Bugenhagen's recommendation, he was hired as a lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, became professor of education in 1548 and a year later dean of the arts faculty. In the autumn of 1552 Lübbecke married and gave up his professorship in Copenhagen. From 1585 he can be proven as mayor in Treptow. The year of his death is not known, but it is no longer mentioned after 1590.

The mother of the Greifswald theologian Petrus Cimdars , Katharina Lübbecke, was a sister of Johann Lübbecke.
