Life

Origin and family

Epitaph of the parents, Balthasar and Ursula Striepe

Sebastian was a member of the councilor and civil servant family Striepe . The grandfather of the same name, who died in 1554 at the age of 44, was a citizen and member of the council of Salzwedel . His parents were the bailiff in Arendsee (Altmark) , Balthasar Striepe (1539-1609) and Ursula, née Gartz (1554-1613), daughter of Hoyer Gartz (1507-1570), council chamberlain and landowner in Salzwedel, lord of Rietza and Klein Gartz , buried in the Marienkirche (Salzwedel) , and Anna geb. Chüden († 1576). The Gartz (Garze) were councilors and patrician to Salzwedel were how the Chüden already in the country Book of Mark Brandenburg of 1375 records and 1472 by Elector Albrecht Achilles invested . Documented even earlier, the Chüden belonged to the patrician class of Salzwedel: as early as 1333, Barthold von Chüden was enfeoffed by Ludwig the Elder with half the village of Büssen , with half the street rights and church fief. The elaborate epitaph of Sebastian's parents is in the monastery church at Arendsee . In 1613 he married Eva Maria Pruckmann (1590–1645), daughter of the Brandenburg Chancellor Friedrich Pruckmann (1562–1630). The marriage resulted in five daughters and two sons, including:

Sebastian Striepe's brother Hoyer Striepe (1586–1639) married in 1623 the sister of Sebastian's wife, Sibylla Pruckmann (1592–1640), widow of the Brandenburg council of Stendal Heinrich Schardius (1559–1621), and rose to the position of secret chamber secretary and pfennig master . His son Hoyer Friedrich Striepe (1627–1670) was last mayor of Berlin.

Another brother was Balthasar Striepe († August 4, 1641), who, like the father of the same name, was a bailiff at Arendsee. The brother was born with Maria Deter married, a daughter of Bartholomäus Detert († 1618), mayor of Pritzwalk and decreed of the Altmark and Priegnitz cities. The family Deter (t) / Di (e) ter must have a dog or a monkey , sitting, in the coat of arms. This is shown as a coat of arms on his mother's side on an epitaph in the monastery church Arendsee for Balzer (Balthasar) Striepe, who died on April 15, 1611 13 hours after his birth. The body of the newborn was buried “in his grandfather's grave”. In addition, Balthasar had the sons Balthasar Striepe, 1651 bailiff at Arendsee, Sebastian Striebe, documented in 1646, and Hoyer Striepe, bailiff zu Salzwedel, who bought Salzwedel Castle in 1667 , and the daughter Ursula Striepe, who was Andreas Lindholtz (1595–1655) in 1630 married, the court attorney and mayor of Berlin between 1641 and 1655. This niece Ursula was part of Sebastian Striepe's household and so was present at the engagement with Lindholtz Sebastian Striepe's father-in-law, the Chancellor Friedrich Pruckmann, and the Vice Chancellor of the Court of Appeal Andreas von Kohl (1568-1655).

Sebastian Striepe was also married through his maternal uncle Johann Gartz (1538–1601), city treasurer of Salzwedel and gentleman of Rietza and Klein Gartz as well as Buch bei Stendal, who from 1559 was first married to Sebastian's paternal aunt Anna Striepe († 1563) a cousin of the Hoyer von Gartz and Ritzau (1565–1617), lord of Rietza and Klein Gartz. During his law studies at the University of Altdorf 1582–1586, where he was a student of Johannes Busereuth , the cousin fell in love and finally married improperly. Hoyer von Gartz therefore did not return to Salzwedel after his studies, but went to Breslau , where he settled as a lawyer, received imperial nobility as an imperial council in 1596 and thus founded the Silesian line of Gartz. He was also the governor of the Free State of Wartenberg . His death shield is in the Elisabethkirche (Breslau) .

Career

Striepe studied law in Wittenberg from May 1599 to August 1603 . In the spring of 1604 he studied in Leiden . His cavalier tour took him across England , to London , Oxford and Cambridge , France , Flanders and Holland . Through the mediation of Simon Ulrich Pistoris (1570–1615) he came to Brandenburg in October 1607 in Cölln. Until 1611 he was then secretary of the legation at embassies in Düsseldorf , Hague and Paris . From 1611 he was the Brandenburg feudal secretary and in 1615 he advanced to court and chamber judge and in 1625 to the real secret council . Between 1626 and 1634 he was sent to Pomerania , Mecklenburg and Braunschweig with several diplomatic missions . In 1636 he was presumably the only privy councilor remaining in Berlin , but was busy with administrative and legal matters, so that the government was led by Adam von Schwarzenberg (1583–1641). In 1638 he was adjoint to Levin von dem Knesebeck (1597–1638) . After he took the oath on his new employer Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg (1620–1688) in December 1640 , he was confirmed as a Real Privy Councilor and advanced to the position of feudal director and conductor of judicial matters at the Supreme Court. Striepe was buried in the Cölln Cathedral .
