Adam Brendel
Adam Brendel (* Naila ; † September 30, 1719 in Wittenberg ) was a German poet, physicist and physician.
Life
Brendel comes from Naila. His origins from the Hof area in Upper Franconia can be deduced from the registers of the University of Wittenberg , where he enrolled for free on May 30, 1692. After studying natural sciences with Martin Knorr and Michael Strauch in mathematics, with Johann Baptist Röschel in physics and with Johann Christoph Wichmannshausen in poetics at the philosophical faculty of the university , on April 29, 1695 he obtained the academic degree of a master’s degree in philosophy.
He then switched to studying at the medical faculty, where Johann Gottfried von Berger , Christian Vater and Paul Gottfried Sperling gave their lectures at the turn of the century . Here he obtained his licentiate on April 17, 1700 , took on an extraordinary professorship at the medical faculty on December 9, 1701, held lectures in anatomy and botany as a substitute for Sperling from 1703 and received his doctorate on April 26, 1707 as a doctor of medicine. Since he was initially denied a medical professorship, he was accepted as an adjunct in the philosophical faculty on September 3, 1708 and became professor of poetics in the same year.
However, he was still aiming for a full professorship at the medical faculty. After he became professor of physics in 1712, a medical professorship became vacant again in 1713 when Johann Heinrich von Heucher left for Dresden. Brendel was given responsibility for this, but he was unable to head the chair for anatomy and botany for much longer, as he died six years later. Brendel had also been a member of the imperial academy of natural scientists and had been elected rector of the Wittenberg academy in the winter semester of 1717 .
The son Johann Gottfried Brendel , who came from his marriage to Christina Henrietta von Berger, also gained importance. Furthermore, the children Otto Heinrich Brendel (born February 25, 1713); Carl Wilhelm Brendel (born February 16, 1715), Christian Heinrich Brendel (born April 17, 1718), Henriette Ernestina Brendel (born March 23, 1719) and Heinrich Siegmund Brendel (born April 11, 1720).
