John II (Bremen)
Archbishop Johannes II of Bremen (also: Johannes von Slamstorp, Slamestorpe or Slamestorp) from today's Schlamersdorf († December 20, 1421 ) was in office from 1406 to 1420.
Johannes von Schlamstorp, who came from the Holstein nobility, was named in 1373 as head of the Bremen Cathedral School. From 1381 to 1406 he was archdeacon of Hadeln and Wursten . In 1386 the Bremen council pledged the castle and bailiwick of Langwedel to Johannes. He was in possession of the castle until 1395 and held office there himself, at least for the first few years.
In 1406 he was elected Archbishop of Bremen. As a result, he made a contribution to the recovery of pledged monastery property and put the monastery finances in order. To this end, he had a description of the pen's rights written, the Jördebücher . These later formed a basis for the Vörder Register created by Johann Rode .
The attempt to build a fortress against the Wurster in Geestemünde failed due to the resistance of the Wurster and the city of Bremen.
