Johann Spangenberg (* 1521 ; † June 11, 1597 in Lübeck ) was a merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

The Lübeck Council does not contain any information about Johann Spangenberg's origin . He was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1573 and, according to Emil Ferdinand Fehling, was “a rich man”, which is evidenced by his foundations for Lübeck churches. He donated a carved Renaissance stalls to the Jakobikirche in 1576 . In 1577 he donated a carved Renaissance pulpit to the Jakobikirche, which was demolished in 1698 as part of the baroque redesign of the Jakobikirche and replaced by the pulpit that still exists today. The remains of the Spangenberg pulpit have been in the Thomaskirche in Tribsees since 1735 . In 1579 he donated a council chair to the Marienkirche in Lübeck , which was no longer preserved, which was replaced by a new council chair in 1782. In 1580 he added a brass double arm chandelier to his donation to the Marienkirche. In 1583 he was handed down as a donor in St. Fabian and Sebastian (Rensefeld) . In the year he died, he donated the rood screen clock to the Katharinenkirche , of which he was head, together with his co-head Carsten Petersen.

His coat of arms epitaph from 1597 with a memorial plaque underneath with a Latin inscription praising him as a senior member of the council, in a narrow Renaissance frame, is located on the easternmost pillar between the central nave and the southern aisle in the Jakobikirche.

Spangenberg was with Anna, a daughter of Lübeck councilor David Divessen married († 1533) and lived in the house Beckergrube with today's house number 64. Spangenberg passed away at the age of 76; he went blind three years before his death.
