List of the canons of Lübeck

The list of Lübeck canons includes well-known canons of the cathedral chapter of Lübeck Cathedral , which was founded when the diocese was relocated in 1160. After the Reformation it continued into the 19th century, based on a fixed key consisting of Protestant and finally four Catholic canons. The last canon did not die until the second half of the 19th century. After the Reformation, most of the chapter's lands were in the Lübeck bishopric , only the Kapitelkirchdörfer (such as Genin ) within the Lübeck Landwehr were in the Hanseatic city's rural area and were subject to the jurisdiction and administration of the chapter until 1803. The list is a selection of articles in Wikipedia and is by no means exhaustive.

Cathedral prods

The provost represented the chapter externally and was its first dignity. In the post-Reformation Lübeck there was the special case that the council had had a right of presentation since 1505 through papal privilege . In a comparison between the council and the cathedral chapter of 1595, it was agreed that the provosts would alternately be elected by the chapter and presented by the council. The municipal cathedral provosts, as a rule also council syndici , received the income, but were excluded from participating in the chapter because of their conflict of interests and were not considered canons.
