Paulus Oldenborch

Paulus Oldenborch (* in Lübeck ; † shortly before August 15, 1436 in Kalmar ) was a council secretary of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck .

Life

On August 15, 1401, Paulus Oldenborch confirmed to his mother and his father's executors that he had received everything from this abandoned man. Nothing is known about his education and the universities he attended. In the course of the civil unrest in Lübeck at the beginning of the 15th century, the old council was expelled from the city and a new council was elected by the citizens in early May 1408. In the course of this inner-city change of power, the previous council secretaries had also given up their office. In June 1408, the New Council appointed Magister Paulus Oldenborch as the city's secretary. When the old council returned in 1416, he remained in office and was Lübeck's first council secretary ( protonotary ) from 1418 . In 1417/1418 he made a copy of the oldest Lübeck council line . On January 29, 1426 he enrolled at the University of Rostock as Lübeck protonotary. This can be an honorary enrollment, which is indicated by the fee discount "honoratus est". The former Lübeck council secretaries and work colleagues Oldenborch Dietrich Zukow and Johannes Voss had both become professors at the University of Rostock and in the 1420s were rectors of this university several times . Zukow even returned to the service of the Lübeck Council in 1433 as Syndicus of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck .

He died on a legation trip to southeast Sweden and was buried in Kalmar on August 15, 1436.
