Martin von Böckel (also: Boeckel, Bökel ; born June 23, 1610 in Güstrow ; † September 2, 1688 in Lübeck ) was a German legal scholar and politician.
Life
He came from an originally Dutch family who had come to northern Germany as religious refugees. His grandfather Peter Boeckel was a court painter at the Mecklenburg court in Schwerin and had settled in Wismar. Martin von Böckel was born as the son of the princely Mecklenburg secretary Martin Böckel († May 6, 1641) and his wife Anna, daughter of the Wismar Senator Heinrich Eken. Böckel initially studied at the University of Königsberg . He continued his studies at the University of Rostock , the University of Greifswald and the University of Leipzig . After an educational trip through France, Holland (here in July 1633 matriculated at the University of Leiden as Martin Bukelius) and England he became a Count of Oldenburg Councilor in 1637. He received his doctorate in law in Greifswald in 1639 and became in-house counsel of the Ratzeburg monastery in 1643 .
In the same capacity as syndic, he took over the Holstein knighthood in 1647 and the syndicate of Lübeck in 1648, where his brother-in-law Johann Marquard was mayor. In 1661 he was with the Lübeck councilor Diedrich von Brömbsen because of the navigation files in London. In 1666 he became a Swedish councilor in Hamburg and in 1668 he was raised to imperial nobility . From 1670 he was a privy councilor and chancellor for Bremen-Verden . In 1674 he became chancellor in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, in 1676 in Halle (Saale) and in 1678 again in Wolfenbüttel. In 1680 he became Prime Minister of the Duke of Holstein-Gottorf , fell out of favor in 1683 and then stayed in Lübeck, where he suffered a stroke in 1685 and died three years later.
