Johann Wittenborg

Johann Wittenborg (1321 – August/September 1363) was a merchant and mayor of the free port of Lübeck in what is now north Germany.

As a merchant, he traded cloth, grain and fur from the Baltic area to London and Flanders.

His business is documented in a traditional book of accounts from the years 1346-1359, which was already started by his father.

Brought before the Hanseatic Council in January 1363, he was condemned to death for the Øresund defeat and "other reasons".

He had married Elizabeth, daughter of the Lübeck councilor Arnold von Bardewik, and had six or seven children.
