Peter Lütkens the elder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Lütkens (* 1603 in Hamburg ; † May 28, 1670 in Vienna ) was a German lawyer , diplomat , councilor and mayor .

Origin and family

Lütkens was a son of the Hamburg merchant Lucas Lütkens († 1616) and his wife Catharina Moller, daughter of the church jury to Sankt Nikolai Diedrich Moller vom Baum .

The Hamburger Oberalte in the parish of Sankt Katharinen Johann Lütkens (1597-1652) was his brother.

Lütkens was married twice. His first marriage was on September 25, 1634 with Cäcilie von Spreckelsen († 1651), daughter of the senior citizen and councilor Peter von Spreckelsen († 1630). From this marriage comes the son of the same name and later mayor Peter Lütkens (1636-1717) and the daughter Anna Maria Lütkens († 1712), who in 1662 married the councilor Vincent Rumpff (1637-1682). In his second marriage, Lütkens married Anna Elisabeth Langermann on March 7, 1652, daughter of Gerhard Langermann (1603–1646). The Hamburg lawyer Gerhard Lütkens (1659–1697) comes from this second marriage .

Live and act

Born in Hamburg, Lütkens studied law at the University of Rostock and later at the University of Basel . Here he completed his studies in 1632 as a licentiate in law.

After completing his studies, he returned to Hamburg and was elected councilor there in 1641. In 1642 he traveled as envoy with Mayor Ulrich Winckel (1575–1649) to King Charles I of England in London. The following year he traveled to Itzehoe with Mayor Winckel and Councilor Henning Matthiessen (1585–1646) and negotiated successfully with King Christian IV of Denmark about the abolition of the Elbe tariff. In 1644 Lütkens was sent together with the council syndicate and later mayor Broderus Pauli (1598-1680) to the imperial general Count Gallas in Holstein. They gave him gifts in the hope that he and his troops would spare the Hamburg area during the campaign against Sweden.

In 1646 Lütkens became praetor and in 1650 as colonel lord chief of the vigilante group in the parish of Sankt Katharinen.

On February 24, 1654, Lütkens was elected mayor. In the same year he traveled with Council Syndicus Pauli and the councilor Georg vam Holte (1606–1673) to see King Friedrich III. from Denmark to Rendsburg to make a comparison with Denmark. However, this delegation was unsuccessful. In 1655, the same embassy traveled to Rendsburg again with councilor Hieronymus Frese († 1662) and council secretary Hinrich Schrötteringk (1611–1686), but were just as unsuccessful.

Because of the council election in 1663, a dispute arose because there should have been bribes. The senior elders and deacons of the then four parishes, as well as four other legal scholars, should clear up this matter. On February 19, 1666, the Hamburg citizenship applied for the mayor Lütkens to be suspended because he is said to have accepted large gifts in the course of the election. The council then had the keys and seals removed from Lütkens. Lütkens then traveled to Speyer with his family and brought the matter to the Reich Chamber of Commerce there . On September 18, 1667, the Hamburg council offered that Lütkens could apply for his release. Lütkens agreed, but on May 4, 1668 demanded that the words "free and arbitrary" be deleted from the text. But the citizens wanted to avoid that Lütkens could appeal against his resignation and decided on May 6, 1668 that Lütkens had to resign within four weeks. The Council opposed this decision. Since Lütkens died two years later on a trip in Vienna, this matter was not brought to an end. In the Windischgrätzer- Rezess of 1674 it was first stipulated that nobody, and in particular not Lütken's heirs, was entitled to compensation for disputes pending before May 28, 1673.
