Otto Schauenburg

Otto Schauenburg also: Otto von Schauenburg or Otto von Schomburg (* around 1395, † around 1466), was provost of the Uetersen monastery and canon in Hamburg .

Life

Provost Otto Schauenburg was Nicolaus Poppe's successor and belonged to the Schauenburg family . On August 19, 1466, he was the first witness in a document from Count Otto III. called: "Mr. Otto Schauenburg, prowest to Utersen un de unseer leven Frauwen Kerken in Hamborg". The third witness named is an “Alff Schauwenburg de Jünger” who also belongs to the Schauenburg family. In this a dispute with the Harvestehude monastery about the Bilsen forest is settled. Through a contract with his predecessor, he took over the right of patronage over the St. Johannes Church in Seester and the old Nikolaikirche in Elmshorn . However, this right of patronage is not properly recognized and there are quite violent disputes about the churches, which even he cannot resolve. Otto Schauenburg died around 1466 and was succeeded by Johann Schauenburg .
