Bell in Perlin

Life

Strahlborn came from Narva . He had worked as a journeyman at the Electoral Saxon Gießhof in Dresden , then went on a hike and received a certificate for it in 1723. After the death of the Lübeck council founder Peter Christoph Geier in April 1713, Strahlborn applied in December 1713 for the position of Lübeck council founder, which was also transferred to him in January 1714. In the same year he married Geier's daughter Susanne Euphrosine. The Hanseatic city ordered a council foundry not only for its own needs, but also for export, who managed the prestigious municipal foundry on the Lastadie . The council founder was not employed, but worked for his own account.

The permanent transfer of the foundry to his son Dietrich Strahlborn (baptized July 15, 1715) did not succeed because he died in 1749 before his father. He was succeeded as council founder in 1750 by his brother-in-law Johann Hinrich Armowitz .

Works

Strahlborn's first bell in Lübeck and, in a sense, his test piece in October 1713 was the Bet or Citizen Bell, the second largest bell in the ringing of St. Mary's Church . It was destroyed in 1942. Theodor Hach records in his Lübeck bell customer over 100 bells of the Strahlborns in the Lübeck area and in the churches of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg. Fifteen Strahlborn bells have been found in Denmark today. In the Nikolaikirche in Wismar there are two bells that he cast around, the guard bell from 1727 and the large bell from 1732.

The citizen bell in the Jakobikirche was cast by him in 1743 from several older bells. It had a weight of 3338 kg and bore the inscription

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Anno 1743 in lvbeck as head of
the church S * Iacobi were
Mr. Hinrich Rvst Mayor
Mr. Matthævs Rodde Rathmann
Mr. Peter Bvsch and
Mr. Gotthard Friederich Carsten (Bvrgere)
Goss Mich Lavrentz Strahlborn

In 1745, as the coronation of his life's work, Strahlborn was commissioned to re-cast the large pulse bell in Lübeck Cathedral . He probably managed the extensive preparatory work himself, but left the casting to his son Dietrich, presumably for reasons of age and illness. With the destruction of Lübeck Cathedral in 1942, the largest and heaviest bell in Lübeck with a diameter of 2.32 m and a weight of approx. 8000 kg, which sounded between Lübeck and Stralsund, perished .
