Epitaph and candlestick in St. Mary's Church
A wooden epitaph for Henning Parcham hung on the first pillar in the north aisle of the Marienkirche , and underneath was a bronze grave slab with the symbols of the four evangelists on the corners and with the inscription:
" Anno 1602 the 16 februaruy died the honorary tuest and wolwiser her Henning Parcham Rathmann the Godt mercy - Anno 1620 the 28 July died the honorable and virtuous lady frawe Gesche Parcham the Godt mercy. "
The epitaph was burned in the bombing raid on Palm Sunday 1942; Remains of the tombstone have been preserved that were hung in the dance of death chapel opposite the astronomical clock for a long time . A two-armed brass chandelier with a coat of arms and the year 1605 hangs today on the fifth southern choir pillar in front of the prayer chapel.

This will reads:
"Min Dorp paddles should thirst my testamentaries thome, as they can, prepare, and wadt Jareliks baven de expenses will come, so should be addressed to Veer students and to Veer poor youngsters yearlicks, but only the same, so from mehner Fründtschop, so by Sehligen Valtin Parcham, and my moeder Annen Lebbins were born; And should ock desülve, whom honor oilers are guilty of, sick negesttüegen tho let be guilty.

"
According to the will, young men from the family should receive a grant from the foundation when they study and young women when they marry, after having been declared poor.
Chief
Three members of the family and a Lübeck protonotary , i.e. the longest-serving councilor until 1848, are to manage this foundation .
Furnishing
The foundation's real estate consists of the farms of the Padelügge estate in the soft landscape of the city of Lübeck in front of the Holstentor on the Trave and lands in Holstein . Today the estate is located directly at the Lübeck-Moisling motorway exit. The foundation's liquid funds consist of the annual surpluses of the administration.
Manor and manor Padelugge
The Padelügge estate in the Buntekuh district is already mentioned in a document in the Lübeck imperial freedom letter from Emperor Friedrich II. From 1226 and at this time came from the possession of the Padelügge family into the possession of the Counts of Schauenburg and Holstein . In 1247 Count Gerhard I and Count Johann I von Holstein sold the estate to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, which sold it on in 1268. From then on, until it was acquired by Henning Parcham in 1596 , the property remained in changing hands from Lübeck patrician families. In the Lübeck combing book (1316-1338) listed as padeluche with 11 houses. In 1890 the estate comprised 193 hectares of land, 11 houses, 17 households, 99 inhabitants.
The manor house in Padelugge had to be replaced in 1734 by a new building designed by the city architect Joseph Wilhelm Petrini († 1747). It still serves as the headquarters of the foundation and is inhabited by the three family members of the board in the summer months at the turn of the year.
The tenant's house fell victim to a major fire in 1880 , but the Lübeck fire brigade was able to save the manor house.
The estate leased by the foundation also has other lands outside the city limits in Holstein .
Hohenstiege
As a pertinence to Padelügge, the Krughaus Hohenstiege is owned by the foundation. It is located on the left bank of the Traven, southwest of Lübeck on Hamburger Strasse, the former Lübeck-Hamburger Chaussee . The horticulture of the surrounding lands provided "a wealth of fruit, especially strawberries and cherries", which made Hohenstiege a popular place for excursions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The current inn dates from 1863.
News about the Hennig Parcham Foundation
In the “ Vaterstädtische Blätter ” of July 19, 1930, it says: “Henning Parcham (came) from Treptow an der Rega, where his father managed the fortunes of this Pomeranian city as mayor. Henning, an enterprising man who brought his father's inheritance only 673 guilders, found another field of activity in Lübeck than in his hometown, he founded a rapidly flourishing shipping company, traded in salt and other goods to Pomerania, Poland and Russia, but also to Spain and Portugal yes, he even seems to have traded cattle, because in 1590 he sold a horse to the local stables . He made a considerable fortune and as early as 1588 he acquired the stately house no.39 (old 789) in Breitenstrasse with the associated rear building at Königsstrasse 663, and on May 17, 1596 for 20,000 (Mark Lübsch) about that Beautiful country estate and village of Padelugge on the Trave, 4 ½ kilometers southwest of Lübeck. He was really on a par with the most distinguished and wealthy families in our town, and his appointment to the council came as no surprise to anyone. He was known as a far-sighted merchant ... it must be noted that he did not neglect his merchant business (despite all the work in the city council of Lübeck, where he showed a lot of diplomatic skills, so that he was even sent to Denmark with an embassy) but he has undoubtedly overworked himself and undermined his health, for he had only reached the age of 50 when he died on February 16, 1602. "
The foundation today
The Parcham'sche Foundation occupies a special position among the Lübeck foundations insofar as its capital and income came entirely from land ownership. While many of the historical foundations lost their capital in the inflation of the 1920s, the Parcham Foundation survived this period undamaged. The value of the Foundation grew again considerably, emerged as a commercial area and the motorways A 1 and A 20 were across the territory of the estate and the foundation has been compensated for the country. In order to avoid the tax club, the purpose of the foundation was expanded several times after 1945 in order to be recognized as non-profit. Since then it has no longer been a pure family foundation. The Henning Parchams Foundation continues to operate from 400 years ago until today.
