Life

Adam Gottlob Schirach was a son of the Nostitz pastor Adam Zacharias Schirach (1693–1758) and his wife Christiane Helena Schüller. From 1737 he attended the Princely School of St. Afra in Meißen and from 1743 to the University of Leipzig , where he joined the Wendisches Prediger-Collegium (later Lausitzer Preacher Society, then Sorabia), which his father had founded in 1716 with five other Sorbian students to practice the Sorbian language . In 1746 he was a private tutor in Budissin , in 1748 he was called to Kleinbautzen. In the 25 years there he was literarily very fruitful - both to build and strengthen his community and the evangelical Sorbs of Upper Lusatia in the faith and as a natural scientist of international renown. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Preacher's Society on December 10, 1766, he and two other former members of the Society published the “Brief Draft of an Oberlausitz-Wendish Church History, drawn up by some Oberl Wendish evangelists. Preachers. Budissin, 1767 ”. He refers to numerous of his own works.

Schirach was a member of numerous scientific societies, such as the Society of Freyen Arts and Sciences in Leipzig and in 1766 founder and permanent secretary of the physical and economic bee society in Upper Lusatia . As such, he looked after two young Russians, Kawerzniev and Brodoffskoy, who had been sent to him for study purposes. The last years of his life were particularly productive when it came to beekeeping. In 1769, the work of Saxon bee masters, or a short interpretation for the farmer on beekeeping , appeared in Leipzig , which was also translated into English and printed in London in 1796, and in 1770 in Budissin a detailed explanation of the inestimable art of creating swarms of bees or offshoots , which was translated into French translated and printed in The Hague in 1771 .

In 1748 Schirach married Juliane Sophie Lange. Their son Karl Gottlob (Korla Bohuchwał) also became a pastor and was co-editor of the first Sorbian magazine Měsačne pismo k rozwučenju a wokřewjenju .
