Adolph Wilhelm Picht
Adolph Wilhelm Picht (born April 13, 1773 in Gingst ; † November 20, 1857 in Losentitz, today part of Garz / Rügen ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman.
Life
Adolph Wilhelm Picht was a son of the provost and social reformer Johann Gottlieb Picht and his wife Margarethe Elizabeth, née. Skragge (1741-1812).
Picht attended the Stralsund grammar school from 1787 to 1790 and was a classmate of Ernst Moritz Arndt , with whom he had a lifelong friendship.
From 1790 he studied Protestant theology , philosophy, literary history and logic at the University of Greifswald . In 1793 he moved to the University of Jena . After his exams in 1795 he worked as a private tutor in Kubbelkow ( Sehlen ).
In 1797 he returned to Gingst and, as a deacon, became the second pastor at the Saint Jacob Church in Gingst and his father's assistant. After his death he succeeded him as pastor; the preposition was abolished in 1806 when the number of provosts on Rügen was reduced from four ( Bergen , Gingst, Poseritz , Jasmund - Wittow ) to two (Bergen, Garz).
In addition to his office, he created silhouettes and etchings ; together with Arndt and Caspar David Friedrich he had been a drawing student of Johann Gottfried Quistorp .
His family book (friendship album) with glued-in silhouettes was preserved in private ownership. Picht managed it from 1792 to 1806. It contains a drawing from the Greifswald student days by Caspar David Friedrich and a miniature by Jakob Wilhelm Roux . Among the contributors are Ernst Moritz Arndt and numerous fellow students from Jena. The stud book was auctioned at Zisska & Lacher in 2016.
He was married to Katharine Maria Charlotte, b. Schwing (1785–1833), the daughter of a manor from Berglase . Ferdinand Picht was a son of the couple. The daughter Julie (1820–1903) married the Prussian administrative lawyer Adolf von Pommer Esche ; the daughter Flora (1812–1900) his brother Johann Friedrich von Pommer Esche .
