Otto Blome (bailiff)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Blome (born February 23, 1589 - † June 3, 1645 in Krempelsdorf ) was a Schleswig-Holstein landowner and bailiff .

Life

Otto Blome was the son of Henrik Blome (1545–1600) and his wife Abel Rantzau . He enrolled in 1610 to study at the University of Padua . He became the ducal Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorfischer Jägermeister and Vogt in Bollingstedt in 1622 . In 1623 Blome was one of the signatories of the renewal of the union between Denmark and Gottorf by Duke Friedrich III. and King Christian IV. 1631 he was bailiff in Aabenraa office .

As a landowner, Otto Blome owned Rastorf (sold to Dorothea von Ahlefeldt in 1616 ), Aschau (1626), Deutsch-Nienhof (1630), Danish-Nienhof and Kaltenhof (1638). He married Dorothea Sehested (1606-1640) in 1621.

Death in a duel

He died on June 3, 1645 near Krempelsdorf west of Lübeck in a duel with the Lübeck city commander and owner of Gut Basthorst, Colonel Hartwig Asche von Schack , who was also killed in this duel. After an unsuccessful but unregulated exchange of fire, the two attacked each other with available stabbing weapons and fatally injured each other. The cause of the bitter dispute was the seating arrangements at a banquet that the Lübeck cathedral dean Christoph von Winterfeld († 1654), the father of the cathedral provost v. Winterfeldt had given.

While Otto Blome was being buried on his estate, Hartwig Asche von Schack received a church burial with full military honors in Lübeck against the bitter resistance of the local clergy. As a reaction to this duel, the pastor of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, Michael Siricius , gave a sermon on June 13, 1645 against all death thugs, duelists, and Balger , which was distributed in printed form and also cited the corresponding governmental regulations against duels.
