Life

Fragment of the oldest Lübeck council line with entries from Samekowes

Johannes de Samekowe was the son of his predecessor as Lübeck council clerk Ludolfus de Samecowe. Samkowe is possibly a name of origin that points to the village of Samkow, today a district of Carlow east of Lübeck in Mecklenburg . He worked as a council clerk in Lübeck from 1268 to 1313. In 1277 he received a permanent job combined with the promise of a pension. His entries in the Lübeck Oberstadtbuch end in September 1313. He was then elected councilor of the city and is first attested as such in February 1314.

He lived in the house at Fleischhauerstraße 53 in Lübeck .
