Johann Schotte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Schotte († 1413 in Lübeck ) was councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Johann Schotte had been a member of the patrician circle society in Lübeck since 1395 and was temporarily its head. In the run-up to the civil unrest at the beginning of the 15th century, he participated in 1404 and 1405, according to Fehling, "very zealously in the rioting against the government". He was elected councilor in 1406. In 1408 he did not leave the city with the Old Council , refused to participate in the amendment of the Old Council and did not join the Old Council's action against the New Council before the Imperial Court of Justice . He lived in the Hoghehus , already called alta domus or Hoghehus in 1322 , on Koberg 2 , which he had acquired in 1402. In the older Lübeck council lines he was not listed by name after Fehling. In Lübeck citizens' wills he is listed several times as a documentary witness and guardian .
