Johannes Hake

Johannes Hake, called John of Göttingen (c. 1280–1349), was a German physician and churchman from a Göttingen council family. He taught medicine at Montpellier from 1314 and served as physician to Emperor Louis the Bavarian, King John of Bohemia and Pope Benedict XII; in 1331 he dedicated his treatise on poisons to John.

The same year the pope named him the first directly appointed bishop of Verden, though he stayed at Avignon and ruled through vicars. Transferred to Freising in 1341, he died at Avignon in 1349.
