Life

Johannes Plücker was a member of the council in Kipdorf zu Elberfeld from 1769 to 1771, as well as from 1776, 1779 and 1783 . He was proposed mayor in 1763, 1765, 1769, 1770, 1771 and 1773, and then elected to that office in 1774 and 1781. In 1775 and 1782 he was city ​​judge .

Plücker was a descendant of Heinrich Plücker, who was included in the yarn diet on June 21, 1589 . The Plücker family, presumably from Aachen , shaped the community for centuries, belonged to the Elberfeld Reformed community since it was founded in 1552, and was active in the yarn trade and yarn bleaching in Elberfeld until the beginning of the 19th century . He was the son of Johann (es) Werner (us) Plücker (1698–1783), merchant, common man and councilor in Elberfeld, and Anna Maria geb. Olpe (1692-1739). Johannes Plücker married on June 9, 1761 in Gräfrath Katharina Gertrud auf der Heyden (1737-1809), the daughter of Elberfeld's mayor Johann Jakob auf der Heyden , with whom he fathered a son and a daughter. His grandson Julius Plücker was a professor of mathematics and physics, and his great-grandson Albert Plücker was a professor of medicine and a surgeon.

After 1784, Johannes Plücker acquired Lüntenbeck Castle , located in front of the gates of Elberfeld in the Duchy of Berg , from Baron von (dem) Bottlenberg . After the death of Johannes Plücker, Lüntenbeck Castle became the property of his son-in-law, the Royal Prussian Consistorial and Government Councilor Karl Ludwig Pithan.
