Seal of Nicolaus Schoneke

Nicolaus Schoneke († November 29, 1362 in Lübeck ) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Nicolaus Schoneke was elected to the Lübeck Council in 1328 and represented the city in 1342 together with Mayor Hinrich Pape in negotiations about road theft on the highway between Hamburg and Lübeck. In 1347 he was elected mayor in the council and resigned as mayor because of his old age in 1360 from this office and the council. He is one of the few mayors who have not been recalled from lifelong office by death. It is documented as early as 1341 that he upgraded the vicariates donated by his uncle in the Marienkirche in Lübeck . He was buried in 1362 in the side chapel built by his uncle on the north side of Lübeck Cathedral . His grave slab in Lübeck Cathedral has been preserved. The Schoneke Chapel in the cathedral later passed to the von Wickede family . Nicolaus Schoneke lived at Wahmstrasse 37 from 1309 to 1337 , then at Breite Strasse 49 until his death .

Individual evidence

  1. Fehling confuses at least the churches of his burial place. According to Nicolaus Schoneke, the Schoneke family had their burial in the Marienkirche.
