Heinrich Pipping

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Pipping (born January 2, 1670 in Leipzig , † April 22, 1722 in Dresden ) was a German Lutheran theologian and court preacher in Dresden.

Life

Born as the son of the merchant and trader Jacob Pipping and his wife Magdalena, the daughter of the cloth merchant Adam Mohr, he was first taught by private teachers and then attended the Alte Nikolaischule . Prepared in this way, he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1686 and devoted himself to studies at the philosophical faculty. In 1688 he obtained a master’s degree and began studying theology.

For this purpose he went to the University of Wittenberg on May 1, 1688 , where he was accepted into Caspar Löscher's house. During his studies, in addition to Löscher, Johann Deutschmann , Johann Andreas Quenstedt , Christian Röhrensee and Michael Walther were his teachers. He went back to Leipzig, where he continued his theology studies under Valentin Alberti , Johannes Olearius and Gottlob Friedrich Seligmann and became a member of the Preachers' Society.

After holding several disputations, he was appointed preacher at the St. Thomas Church in 1693 by the City of Leipzig . In 1699 he was promoted to deacon at the Thomaskirche and in 1702 he was promoted to Vespers. During this time he held colleges for the students and, after his father-in-law Seligmann had died, was called to Dresden in 1709 as senior court preacher .

In order to acquire the necessary academic degrees for the performance of their duties, he went again to Wittenberg , where he on 24 April 1709 for licentiate and on April 26 the doctor of theology doctorate . Thereupon he gave his farewell sermon in Leipzig and arrived in Dresden on May 23, 1709. The following day he was introduced to the office and entrusted the associated offices of a church council and senior consistorial councilor.

In his function as court preacher he was the confessor of the Saxon electoral family . He accompanied them on spa trips, took the wedding of Christian VI. von Denmark and Norway and Sophie Magdalene von Brandenburg-Kulmbach on August 7, 1721 in Pretzsch and held three state parliaments in Dresden, where he gave the usual state sermon in 1711, 1716 and 1718. As a theologian he was moderate and did not get involved in any controversies of his time. Nevertheless, he stuck to Lutheran teaching and took a position on it in his sermons.

His marriage to Johanna Katharina, the daughter of the court preacher Gottlob Friedrich Seligmann , in 1700 in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig resulted in three children. Known are Gottlob Heinrich Pipping, who became mayor in Naumburg, the daughter Johanna Margaretha, who married the legal consultant Carl Friedrich Jumpelts in Dresden, and August Benedikt Pipping, who also studied.

After Pipping suffered a stroke while preaching on January 1, 1722, he did not recover properly. On April 19, he suffered severe chills and stagnant rivers , from which he died at 1 a.m. He found his final resting place on April 25th in the Sophienkirche and he was given a commemorative sermon on May 17th, as in other Saxon cities.
