Ludolph Garßen even Ludolph Garssen (* 9. December 1560 in Kemnade ; † 13. June 1635 in Wolfenbüttel ) was a German jurist and country Counsel . He acquired the Garßenhof in lattice named after his family , which was owned by the family until 1881.
Life
Ludolph Garßen was born in 1560 in Kemnade in the Weserbergland , which is now part of Bodenwerder . He was the son of Ilse Thünen and Ernst Garßen (* 1520; † after 1596), who was in the service of Duke Julius as provost of several monasteries from 1570 and who became Oberlandesfiskal in 1577. Garßen studied law in Helmstedt from 1577 and in Wittenberg from 1579 . He then settled in Braunschweig and married Elisabeth Platte († 1594) in 1584. In 1595 he married Emerentia von Rethem († 1625). In the same year he was appointed syndic of the Wolfenbüttel landscape. Garßen was appointed Privy Councilor of Duke Friedrich Ulrichs in 1616 . He moved to Wolfenbüttel in 1622, but soon returned to Braunschweig, where he served as a councilor to Duke August von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. Garßen married Margaretha Engelke in 1626. He was head of the Cyriakus pen in Braunschweig .
Garßen died in Wolfenbüttel in June 1635 at the age of 74.
Together with his second wife Emerentia Garßen had the son Johann Hildebrand Garßen († 1672). He was also a lawyer and was buried in the hereditary funeral he had acquired in 1670 in the churchyard of St. Catherine's Church in Brunswick .
The Garßenhof in Salzgitter
Around 1616 Garßen bought a large farm in grid, today a district of the city of Salzgitter . This former manor was in poor condition due to the events of the Thirty Years' War that followed. According to the description in Garssen's testament of August 29, 1632, the farm was “miserable, ruined and devastated.” Garßen was exempt from all taxes for this farm through a ducal privilege. This expired for his heirs in 1643 when the village of lattice again came under the jurisdiction of the Hildesheim monastery and the Hildesheim bishops did not recognize this privilege. The Garßenhof remained in the possession of the Garßen family until 1881. The residential building, a “stately half-timbered house with a protruding upper floor”, was acquired by the city of Salzgitter and moved to its new location in Salzgitter-Bad in 1982 .
