Life

Konrad von Dorne was the grandson of the Lübeck councilor Hermann von Dorne . From 1643 he studied at the University of Rostock . He belonged to the Novgorod Drivers' commercial corporation . In the disputes that led to the cash process in 1665 , as a cash citizen he zealously represented the cause of the opposition ; in the year the citizens' recession was passed, he was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1669 .

Epitaph from 1694 (destroyed 1942)

He was married to Katharina, geb. Cleneke († 1712). In 1694 his widow had a wooden epitaph built for him in St. Mary's Church on the south side of the second north pillar. Six Corinthian columns, of which the two middle ones include a picture of the Entombment of Christ painted on copper , the two outer pairs two female statues with palm branches and mirrors set up in shell niches, supported the curved backwards on both sides and in the middle by a flat pediment vaulted cranked beams, in front of which a trumpet angel hovered. At the top there was a Dornesche coat of arms between a female figure holding a triangle enclosed in a circle and a winged grim reaper with the hourglass . At the base of the central field was the painted bust of the deceased, enclosed by an oval foliage frame, between two seated female figures, one of whom was carrying a lamb, the other holding up a weeping heart. The lower end was a stretched cloth with the inscription painted on it. Like almost all wooden epitaphs in St. Mary's Church, it was destroyed in an air raid on Lübeck in 1942 .

During his lifetime, Dorne had put together a valuable private library, which he bequeathed to the Lübeck city ​​library when he died , the so-called Dornesche Legat , which for a long time formed a separate department of the city library.

His mourning poem was written by the preacher at Lübeck Cathedral, Hermann Lebermann (1645–1705), a baroque poet who was also a member of the Pegnese Flower Order .
