Life
The merchant Nikolaus Lüdinghusen came from a family that was probably originally based in Lüdinghausen . He immigrated to Lübeck with his brother Gos before 1500. There were both members of the Leonhard and Antonius brotherhoods.
After the death of his business partner, the merchant Godart Wigerinck , who also came from Ahaus and was not only successful in the copper trade , in 1518 his executor and Nuremberg partner in the trading company, Jörg Baier the Elder , initially led the company. J., the business continues. With Nikolaus Lüdinghusen and Godart's eldest son Johann Wigerinck , he then founded a new trading company that continued to trade in copper and maintained close relationships with the Fugger trading house in Augsburg and Nuremberg, which was headed by Anton Fugger from 1525 .
Together with Mathias Mulich , he lent the Danish King Christian II through a servant money that they confiscated after the king was deposed. Nikolaus was elected to the Lübeck council in 1527. His son Anton Lüdinghusen was appointed mayor of Lübeck in 1562 .
He lived in the house Schüsselbuden 18 in a central location in Lübeck's old town , which Hinrik Greverade, the uncle of Adolf Greverade , had previously owned.
