Life

Stellan Wakenitz came from the noble Pomeranian family von Wakenitz . He was a son of Hans Wakenitz, called "the young Hans", and heir to Klein Kiesow .

Stellan Wakenitz went to Mecklenburg and entered the service of Duke Albrecht VII and became bailiff of Güstrow . After Albrecht's death, he was one of the trusted servants of his son and successor Johann Albrecht I , who appointed him bailiff and castle captain to Schwerin . In 1558 the dukes Johann Albrecht and Christoph zu Mecklenburg awarded him half of the Goldenbaum estate (Goldenbow) in the Strelitz office . He bought the other half as well. He was in charge of the construction of the Schwerin Castle Church. In 1565 he sold the estate to Johann Albrecht and the following year his house in Strelitz to Andreas Mylius . He went back to Pomerania, where he was captain of Wolgast in 1566 . As such until 1568 and then from 1569 to probably 1576 as a captain on Ueckermünde , he was councilor to Duke Ernst Ludwig von Pommern-Wolgast.

As early as 1563 he had acquired several goods near Gützkow from the Ruyan family for 950 guilders . In 1569 he took out several loans with ducal approval that he had received from Greifswald mayor Peter Krull and two councilors against pledging. In 1573 he pledged Klein Kiesow to his brother-in-law Christoph Behr for 2500 guilders.

Stellan Wakenitz was married to Ilsaba von Behr. Both were buried in the St. Mary's Church in Görmin .
