Ludwig Taschenmaker
Ludwig Taschenmaker († September 14, 1536 in Lübeck ) was a Lübeck mayor during the Wullenwever period.
Life
Taschenmaker was a member of the 64 committee that was formed in the course of the civil unrest in Lübeck in 1531 and was a proven supporter of its spokesman Jürgen Wullenwever . In 1532 Taschenmaker was involved in the negotiations that were held in Braunschweig with other members of the Schmalkaldic League in order to win them over to the war against King Christian II of Denmark. Taschenmaker was elected councilor by the committees at the second addition to the Lübeck council, initiated by Wullenwever in February 1533, and immediately afterwards, together with Wullenwever, was also appointed one of the city's mayors . In June 1535 he took part in the peace negotiations in Hamburg and resigned from the council in August 1535 with the other new council members of the Wullenwever period .
Jürgen Wullenwever had incriminated him during the embarrassing interrogation by Duke Heinrich II of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , so that he was arrested by the Lübeck council in March 1536. After a month, his detention was commuted to house arrest, from which he was released on August 20, 1536. He died three weeks later.
Taschenmaker lived in the house at Hüxstrasse 42 in Lübeck . In the Petrikirche there was still an altar of Mary donated by him and his wife in 1840.
