Lütke name
Lütke's name or also called Ludolphus Naamani in Latin (* 1497 probably in North Friesland ; † December 31, 1574 in Flensburg ) was a Low German-speaking theologian and Franciscan of Danish nationality who wrote pamphlets against the Reformation .
As the first son of the rich and devout alderman named Janssen, he enjoyed a very good education. He entered the Franciscan monastery in Flensburg , where his father had been procurator since 1520. From 1526 to 1528 he studied at the Sorbonne in Paris . When he returned to Flensburg after completing his studies, he was an educated man who, in addition to Low German, the language that was primarily spoken in Flensburg at the time, spoke Frisian and Danish , Latin , Greek and Hebrew .
Name did not want to accept the closure of his monastery and was expelled from the city in the religious dispute. He went to the Ripen and Nysted monasteries until they too were abandoned. Now expelled from the country, he was accepted into the Franciscan monastery in Schwerin . There, in 1538, the last Provincial Minister Jacobus de Dacia appointed him his commissioner, leaving him responsible for the order of Dacia (Denmark). However, it was not until 1544 that he was allowed to “leave the monastic life and live in secular clothing” by decree of the Danish King Christian III. return to Flensburg. For reasons of conscience, however, he went back to the Catholic Rhineland in 1545, where he stayed until 1555. Only when religious were allowed to live in the now Protestant Danish religious province did he return to Flensburg.

Lütke's name translated writings from Latin into Low German , especially by late medieval mystics such as Johannis Gerson , Thomas a Kempis and Heinrich Seuse . He wrote pamphlets against Luther in, as was customary at the time, extremely crude form (e.g. Jegen der Martinischen Lere ). He later wrote books against the Evangelion Martini Luther with scientific meticulousness . He dealt with all of the new Lutheran church doctrine and tried to defend the Catholic tradition. The biographer Georg Lau (in Der Franziskanermönch Ludolphus Naamani ) raises Brother Lütke to the level of the Danish reform Catholic Poul Helgesen . His main work, the Codex (1542–1547) was never printed as it was probably forbidden to the so-called Old Believers.
When money was sought for a new Latin school based on the model of the Schleswig Cathedral School in 1566 , Lütke's name could be recruited as a donor . The principal of this new school came from the St. Nikolai School and the vice principal from the St. Marien School. Today's old grammar school emerged from this Latin school .
Lütke Namen had to see that Lutheran ideas were taught at his school. He himself remained true to his faith and his religious duties in stoic equanimity until his death in 1574. The valuable library named 'came via the library of the old grammar school and the Nikolaibibliothek in 1991 to the Flensburg lending and supplementary library . The city historian Gerhardt Kraack first published a catalog of this library in 1984.
