Otto Brokes
Otto Brokes (born April 13, 1574 in Lübeck ; † August 24, 1652 ibid) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.
Life
Otto Brokes was one of the sons of Lübeck Admiral and Mayor Johann Brokes, who died in 1585 . His brother Heinrich Brokes was also mayor of Lübeck until his death in 1623. One year after the death of his brother, Otto Brokes was elected to the Lübeck council and appointed mayor there in 1640. In 1642 he was the town’s treasurer. The council gave him the Strecknitz estate as a benefice . After his death, like his father and brother, he received an epitaph in Lübeck's Marienkirche , which has not been preserved as a result of the air raid on Lübeck in March 1942 .
