from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Herold (born May 31, 1659 in Dresden , † March 2, 1711 in Eilenburg ) was a German educator and Evangelical Lutheran theologian.

Life

Born the son of the piece and bell caster Andreas Herold (1623–1696) and his wife Anna Catharina (née Schmidt), he was educated by private tutors until he was 15. Then he came to the school in Gardelegen , from where he went to the Katharineum in Lübeck with his cousin Abraham Hinkelmann in 1675 and continued his language education. Equipped with a scholarship, he moved to the University of Wittenberg on September 14, 1676 , where Theodor Dassov became his formative teacher.

With him he traveled to the University of Leiden and Oxford University in 1677 , where he trained in the Oriental and English languages. After returning to Germany, he moved to the University of Giessen in 1678 and the University of Kiel in 1679 . Here he advanced to a master's degree in philosophy in 1680 , acquired the right to hold lectures at universities, and went back to Wittenberg in 1682.

On September 10, 1683, Herold became a grammar school professor for Hebrew language and theology and rector of the grammar school in Reval , which developed into a flourishing educational institute under his leadership. In 1689 he became pastor and superintendent in Herzberg (Elster) . In 1692 he returned to Wittenberg, where he obtained a licentiate in theology on September 12, 1692 . After he had received his doctorate in theology on October 11, 1692 , he went to Eilenburg as pastor at the St. Nikolaikirche and superintendent.

On January 8, 1684 he married Magdalene Elisabeth Rübbe, a daughter of the Hamburg merchant Johann Rubbe. From this connection 6 girls and 2 sons emerged. Andreas Herold (born December 12, 1685 in Reval; † 1747) also gained importance as an author.
