WULLENWEBER, JURGEN (c. 14921537)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 855 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WULLENWEBER, JURGEN (c. 14921537) , burgomaster of Lubeck, was born probably at Hamburg. Settling in Lubeck as a merchant he took some part in the risings of the inhabitants 111 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 Lubeck to her former position of influence. Preparations were made to attack the Dutch towns, the principal trading rivals of Lubeck, 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 Lubeckers gained several successes, but Christian of Holstein appeared before Lubeck; 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. Having been tortured and sentenced to death as a traitor and an Anabaptist, he was beheaded at Wolfenbuttel on the 29th of September 1537. Wullenweber, who was long regarded as a popular hero in Lubeck, inspired tragedies by Heinrich Kruse and Karl Ferdinand
Gutzkow
 , and a novel by Ludwig Kohler.
See G.
Waitz
 , Lubeck unter Jurgen Wullenweber and die europdische Politik (Berlin, 1855-1856).
