Jurgen Wullenwever
Edit ProfileCareer
Settling in Ltibeck as a merchant he took some part in the risings of the inhabitants in 1530 and 1531, being strongly in sympathy with the democratic ideas in religion and politics which inspired them. Having joined the governing council of the city and become leader of the democratic party, he was appointed burgomaster early in 1533 and threw himself into the movement for restoring Liibeck to her former position of influence.
Preparations were made to attack the Dutch towns, the principal trading rivals of Liibeck, when the death of Frederick I, king of Denmark, in April 1533 changed the position of affairs. The Liibeckers objected to the bestowal of the Danish crown upon any prince favourable to the Empire or the Roman religion, and Wullenweber went to Copenhagen to discuss the matter.
At length an alliance was concluded with Henry VIII of England; considerable support was obtained in N. Germany; and in 1534 an attack was made on Christian, duke of Holstein, afterwards King Christian III, who claimed the throne.
At first the Liibeckers gained several successes, but Christian of Holstein appeared before Liibeck; the efforts of Wullenweber to secure allies failed; and the citizens were compelled to make peace. The imperial court of justice at Spires restored the old constitution, and in August 1535 the aristocratic party returned to power.
Soon afterwards Wullenweber was seized by Christopher, archbishop of Bremen, and handed over to his brother Henry II, duke of Brunswick Wolfenbiittel.
He was beheaded at Wolfenbiittel on the 29th of September 1537.
