Life

Devotional image

Lambrecht probably came from Stralsund and can be identified for the first time as a Franciscan in Stralsund's Johanniskloster in 1522 , when he participated as a delegate in the chapter of the Saxonia Order in Hamburg . The chapter sent him to the Poor Clare monastery in Ribnitz as a reading master and confessor . Here he temporarily administered the Guardian position together with Joachim Meier in 1525 , until Meier took over the position alone.

He was in many ways for the monastery and its abbess, Duchess Dorothea von Mecklenburg (1480-1537, Abbess since 1498), daughter of Duke Magnus II. And sister of jointly ruling Dukes Albrecht VII. And Henry V , active. He took care of the construction of a warm air heating system, “created water channels, rebuilt a brewery, drew walls himself, and painted or painted walls. "

In the refectory he brought an astronomical clock on. Sometimes together with the nuns, he created devotional pictures, six of which have been preserved on the nuns' gallery of the monastery church.

Chronicle, entry for November 18, 1526

On behalf of the convent, he wrote a chronicle of the monastery founded in 1323 on its 200th anniversary from Michaelis 1522. He drew on various sources, including the rhyming chronicle by Ernst von Kirchberg , the convent's book of the dead and the recently published Annales Herulorum by Nicolaus Marschalk . On November 22, 1523 he was able to dedicate the work to Abbess Dorothea and the convent. He continued it until 1532 and in two notes until 1533.

The chronicle, which is not well preserved, was still kept in the Ribnitz monastery in the 19th century, which is now a women's monastery . The University Library Greifswald owned an old copy , a more recent one was in the Schwerin State Main Archives . Karl Ferdinand Fabricius and Friedrich Crull made copies in the 19th century .

The question of whether he is also the author of a Latin version of the monastery chronicle, which goes back to 1539, has been answered differently in research. Ernst Joachim Westphal published the Latin Chronicle in Volume 4 of his Monumenta inedita , together with additions from around 1570 to 1578 by the Lutheran monastery preacher Jakob Isermann, who came to Ribnitz in 1569. Carl Henrich Dreyer is said to have copied this Latin version in 1743 from manuscripts that have now disappeared.

Friedrich Techen reissued both versions in 1909.
