Jacob Stolterfoht

Jacob Stolterfoht (also Jacobus Stolterfot: 20 July 1600 – 4 March 1668) was a German Lutheran theologian and leading pastor in Lübeck during and directly following the Thirty Years' War.

[5]) On 27 September 1649 he was selected to succeed Michael Siricius (who had died the previous December) as chief pastor (Hofprediger) of the Marienkirche.

[1] Stolterfoht was an important priest and theologian: his reputation meant that he was offered a number of senior church posts in other north German cities.

Despite the persistence of post-war economic austerity across western Europe, he was well paid in his existing posts, and loved by the city community.

Three further recorded children resulted from Stolterfoht's second marriage, which took place on 25 June 1638 and was to Anna Hackhusen.
