Life
The exact dates of birth of Tidemann von Güstrow are not known. It is documented in Lübeck itself as well as in Mecklenburg and Sweden for the period from 1334 to 1350. He was the son of the Lübeck councilor Johann von Güstrow . Tidemann von Güstrow represented the city in 1336 and 1344 as envoy to King Magnus II of Sweden. The city of Lübeck succeeded in persuading Emperor Ludwig IV the Bavarian to expand the coin rack that had existed since the freedom of the empire in 1226 . With the Landshut deed of March 25, 1340, Lübeck was the first city north of the Alps to be allowed to mint a florentine guilder . In 1341 Tidemann von Güstrow was Lübeck's ambassador to Flanders . There he recruited the mint master Johannes Salenbem for the minting of the Lübeck gold gulden and became a mint owner together with the councilor Tidemann von Alen . By 1342, 30,000 gold guilders (with a gross weight of 3.53 g) were minted by the Lübeck mint . 1346 he was authorized by the council to have the cleric Albert von Cleye prosecuted. In 1347 he was appointed mayor in the city council. In the same year, as mayor, he had cathedral vicar Helmicus thymmonis write down the Luebian law , which in this version is called the Tidemann Gustrowscher Codex . In terms of content, it corresponds to the Bardewik Codex of 1294.
It is documented by real estate in Hinter-Wendorf near Wismar, where it acquired Bede from the Duke of Mecklenburg in 1350 , and on the island of Poel . In Sweden he gave away land in the Archdiocese of Uppsala in 1347 together with the heirs of his father-in-law . In the Marienkirche in Lübeck he donated two with his son- vicarages .
He was married to Adelheid von Geismar , the daughter of the Stockholm councilor Johann Geismar , who had moved to Lübeck, and lived in the house at Breite Straße 45, which his wife had brought into the marriage. Her first marriage was to the businessman Johann Pleskow .
He donated a chapel in the Katharinenkirche , which his widow furnished in 1353 in his memory.
