Marquard of the Kyle
Marquard von dem Kyle († 1428 in Lübeck ) was councilor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
The merchant Marquard von dem Kyle was the son of the Lübeck citizen Tidemann von dem Kyle. According to the name, the family had immigrated from Kiel . Marquard von dem Kyle was one of the town's distinguished citizens; he was head of the beguinage at St. Aegidienkirche and member of the patrician circle society . In the course of the civil unrest in Lübeck at the beginning of the 15th century, after the old council was expelled in 1408, he joined the new council as councilor. He was a council member only until 1409. He fell out with the New Council and one of his pensions was confiscated by the New Council. When the old council returned in 1416, he was compensated along with the councilmen who had gone into exile. In Lübeck citizens' wills he is listed several times as a documentary witness and guardian .
He was married to Heseke, a daughter of the Lübeck councilor Arnold Suderland , and initially lived in his father's house, Schüsselbuden 12. From 1416 he lived at Königstrasse 44 in Lübeck's old town .
He is considered to be the founder of the northernmost of the six stone statues on the rood screen of the Marienkirche in Lübeck , Saint Elizabeth with her son Johannes . The rood screen was destroyed in the air raid on Lübeck in 1942; only the statue of St. Dorothea donated by the councilor Konrad von Alen remained almost undamaged; the remaining figures from the cycle of rood screen figures, including Elizabeth, have recently been reconstructed from their fragments.
