Heraldic epitaph

Johann Lüdinghusen (* 1541 in Lübeck ; † May 11, 1589 there ) was mayor of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck.

Life

Johann Lüdinghusen was the son of Mayor Anton Lüdinghusen from his first marriage. Lüdinghusen studied at the University of Rostock and was elected to the city council in 1573 and appointed mayor by this in 1580 . He represented the city several times in foreign embassies and negotiations: in 1579 he was with King John III. of Sweden, "in order to have the situation cited by Lübeck terminated." In 1582 he and the councilor Benedikt Schlicker negotiated a settlement with the cathedral chapter of the Ratzeburg diocese about the replacement of the tithe in the Lübeck exclaves Behlendorf and Ritzerau . In 1588, together with councilor Jürgen Gruwel, he represented the city in negotiations with Lüneburg over the Eßlinger Elbzoll , which Hamburg and Lübeck levied jointly at the ferry house Zollenspieker in Bergedorf by the boatmen on the Elbe .

Together with councilor Gottschalk von Stiten and the Syndicus Calixtus Schein, he was responsible for revising Lübeck's city law from 1583 on behalf of the council . The audit report was given in 1586 and was first printed in High German by Johann Balhorn : Der Kayserlichen Freyen and the Holy Empire City of Lübeck Statuta and City Law. Overlooked by the Newe / Corrigiret / and brought into Hochteudsch from the old sixish language. Printed in Lübeck / by Johann Balhorn / in the Jar after the birth of Christ / 1586 .

He was married to Elsabe Lampe from around 1585. His daughter Anna married the merchant Gotthard Marquard. Her son Johann Marquard later also became mayor.

epitaph

His epitaph in the Jakobikirche in Lübeck , of which he was the head, reminds of Lüdinghusen . Originally on the east side of the third south pillar, it now hangs east of the clock pillar in the south aisle. Under the family coat of arms there is an inscription panel in a narrow Renaissance frame, which praises Lüdinghausen's piety and fulfillment of duty in four Latin elegiac distiches .
