Paul Vermehren (Councilor)
Paul Vermehren (born February 20, 1709 in Lübeck ; † February 2, 1750 there ) was a Lübeck merchant and councilor.
Life
Paul Vermehren came from a Lübeck merchant family whose progenitor of the same name came to Lübeck from Flanders as an exile around 1580 during the Eighty Years' War . He himself was elected to the Hanseatic City Council in 1739 from the merchants' corporation of Stockholm drivers . On the same day, under pressure from the city's citizens, councilors Marcus Tidemann , Diedrich von Bartels and Johann David Widderich were elected because the council had neglected for a long time the self-supplementation to the number of 20 council members prescribed since the citizens' recession of 1669. However, since he failed a few years later and personally went bankrupt, in 1748 he had to resign from his offices and resign from the council.
His father was Claus (Nicolaus) Vermehren, married to Margaretha Langen. On March 11, 1726 he married Anna Catharina Merwitz.
