Life

Nicolaus Repenhagen was the son of a merchant of the same name and a member of the mountain drivers in Lübeck, who is documented as their elder from 1510 to 1517 . Reppenhagen studied from November 1506 at the University of Rostock . He received his bachelor's degree in Rostock in 1508 and his master's degree in 1513 . As the successor to an accountant who was not known by name from 1514 to 1517 and his predecessor, Marcus Roterdes (until 1514), Repenhagen must have already started working for the office in 1517. He was first documented in June 1518, but the files of the mountain drivers that have survived indicate that he had previously worked for the office. Repenhagen was still working as a secretary for the office in Bergen in February 1520; At the end of March 1520 in Wismar he was referred to as the former secretary of the merchant in Bergen. He was succeeded as secretary in Bergen in 1521 by Magister Peter Kock .

In 1529, Repenhagen received the second vicarie from the Lübeck mountain drivers at the old St. Olav altar in the Bergen driver chapel of the Lübeck Marienkirche and worked as secretary of the Lübeck mountain drivers corporation.
