Johann von Strele

John of Strele (also Hans von Strele , † 1349 / 50 ) Lord of was Storkow , and Beeskow and Vetschau in what was then Lower Lausitz .

Life

Johann was a relative of Friedrich, Bernhard and Thimo (Tymo) from the von Strele family , who had property rights in various places in Lower Lusatia. In 1311 he was mentioned for the first time with these in a document. In 1345 Hans von Strele was mentioned as the owner of Vetschau Castle and referred to as the Brandenburg captain . In the same year, Margrave Ludwig von Brandenburg arbitrated a legal dispute between Johann and Luckau citizens over rights of use in several forests in the area. In 1349 he declared their rights to the citizens of Beeskow and referred to himself as Lord von Storkow and Beeskow , the first to hold both dominions.

In the same year Botho von Torgau made a similar document for Beeskow, which could mean that Johann had already died. On May 3, 1350, however, his name was still in a ban letter from Bishop Gottfried von Carpetras on behalf of Pope Clement VI. mentioned, in which all supporters of the Margrave Ludwig von Brandenburg were named and excommunicated.

Reinhard von Strele has been known as Herr von Storkow since 1368.
