Konrad Klencke
Konrad Klencke (also Cord ; * before 1498; † August 4, 1518 near Weddewarden ) was cathedral dean in Bremen and Verden .
He comes from the Bremen clan Klenkok (cf. Johannes Klenkok ).
From May 29, 1498 he is known as the Bremen Canon and Cathedral Dean. From 1499 he was also provost in Zeven . In 1518 he was also cathedral choirmaster in Verden.
When Archbishop Christoph von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel subjugated the Wurster in 1517, Klencke succeeded in transferring the land not only to the Archbishop, but to the Bremen Church. The archbishop had taken land from the Wursten near Weddewarden and had the Morgenstern fortress built. On behalf of the cathedral chapter, Klencke obtained money for the wages of the servants and provisions for the castle.
On August 4, 1518, the Wurster had invited to an amicable settlement day for the land that had been taken away on Dingplatz, to which the Archbishop had sent 18 negotiators, whose spokesmen Klencke and the archbishop's Land were drost to Vörde Engelbert von der Malsburg. Since the archbishops were not allowed to give in, a riot broke out and one of the envoys was killed. After Klenke threatened: "The blood of the murdered man will cost you dearly!" The whole embassy was slain. The Dingplatz has been called Klenckenhamm ever since . (see history of hadels and sausages )
Colonel Albert Butjenter came to the aid of the Wursten country on behalf of Duke Magnus von Lauenburg and on August 15 conquered the Morgenstern with the sausage friezes .
