Biography

Claus Steding was born at farm no. 4 in Westergellersen. By 1580, he had taken over the farm, presumably from his father. He died about 1600, when his son and heir Claus Stegen junior was still a minor.^[1]

Research Note

• His death year is estimated as about 1600 based on the fact that his widow remarried in 1601.
• The name giver of farm no. 4 in Westergellersen as "Stegens" is Lutke Steding who is mentioned in 1540. It is not clear whether Lutke is Claus's father or grandfather.^[1]
