The [[German States, Lubeck|bishopric of Lübeck]] was established in the twelfth century. Like most of northern Germany, including the separate free city of Lübeck, it went over to Lutheranism in the mid-sixteenth century and all its bishops were Lutherans after 1586. Christian August of Holstein-Gottorp (born 1673, ruled 1706-26) was the Lutheran Administrator of the Prince-Bishopric of Lübeck. This type was struck 1723-24 and was worth 1/96 of a thaler. Mintmaster Andreas Woltereck worked in Eutin and Osnabrück 1702-1724.
