Johann Lüneburg (* around 1420 in Lübeck ; † August 15, 1474 there ) was councilor and member of the circle society in Lübeck.

Life

Johann Lüneburg was a Hanseatic merchant . Around 1444 he was one of the Lübeck merchants who had been damaged in the area of ​​Johann Gardenberch, exempt from the free chair in Limburg. There is evidence for the later period that he traded in cloth from the Netherlands and wax from Gotland .
He was, in 1467, several years after the death of his father in the council chooses the city. In 1473 he belonged to the Lübeck embassy to Utrecht led by Mayor Hinrich Castorp , which ended with the so-called Peace of Utrecht (1474) . Johann lived in the Beckergrube 10 house and owned the Paddelügge estate . In August 1463 he and his brother Bertram sold the salmon weir to the city of Lübeck. In his will of June 13, 1473 he had an amount of over 10,000 Mark Lübisch (Mk.) . In these wills, his family was given rich attention, but legacies also went to various churches and monasteries in and around Lübeck.

Memberships

Johann Lüneburg became a member of the influential circle society in 1443 ( membership number 175 ), but before that he had already taken over the office of carnival poet in 1440 and 1441 . He held this office in the years 1446, 1450, and 1454. He was elected to the Society in 1449 and 1467 and in the winter of 1474 to the Society's donation. The annals of the circle society list him to distinguish himself from his father of the same name in Middle Low German as "Hanss Luneborch".

Together with his brother Bertram Lüneburg († 1484) he had been a member of the Augustinian monastery in Segeberg since 1471 .
