Johann Philipp Lefèvre
Johann Philipp Lefèvre (* 1676 in Lübeck ; † May 12, 1755 ibid) was a German merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Lefèvre was the son of Lübeck merchant Dietrich Lefèvre († 1683) and a nephew of Lübeck councilor Adolf Lefèvre . He proved himself as a young merchant and from 1691 toured Narva and Novgorod and returned to his hometown via Riga and Danzig , where he worked until 1702. With his brother Dietrich († 1734) he then ran his father's business together. Lefèvre was a member of the Lübeck Schonenfahrer and was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1749.
Johann Philipp Lefèvre and his wife donated the baroque marble baptismal font to the Petrikirche during Lefèvre's lifetime in 1743, which was one of the few pieces of equipment in the church that survived the air raid on Lübeck in 1942 and was damaged. His grave slab with the inscription “Johan Philip Lefever and his heirs hereditary in 1734”, which he bought for a second use in 1734, has also been preserved in St. Petri.
Lefèvre was married to a daughter of the lawyer Andreas Bilderbeke , a brother of the councilor and skipper Hermann Bilderbeke .
