Konrad Schepenstede

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad Schepenstede , also Cord Schepenstede (* in Braunschweig ; † April 24, 1527 in Lübeck ) was a German merchant and councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

The merchant Konrad Schepenstede, who immigrated to Lübeck from Braunschweig, was elected to the Lübeck council in 1518 . His coat of arms can be found in the Lübeck citizens' seals . He was buried in the Petrikirche , where his grave slab has been preserved after being reused several times and temporarily not being found. After the Second World War, it was covered with concrete in 1954 and rediscovered in 1986 when a new floor was laid, into which it was then integrated in its preserved fragments. The first further use of the stone took place for the Lübeck councilor Jürgen Gruwel, who died in 1613, and his wife as a coat of arms grave plate with their family coat of arms. The grave slab was used a third time in 1788 for the wine merchant Georg Veit Binder.
