Adrian Buxschott

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adrian Buxschott , (* around 1493 in Antwerp ; † 1561 in Drakenburg  ?) Was a Lutheran theologian and reformer of the counties of Hoya and Lippe .

Live and act

First, Buxschott was accepted into the order of the Augustinians in Antwerp under the priors Jacob Propst and Heinrich Moller from Zütphen. As Adrianus de Antwerp he was enrolled at the University of Wittenberg in 1516 . On March 17, 1517 he became a Baccalaureus and on February 11, 1518 Magister . After completing his studies, he returned to his homeland. In the autumn of 1522 he was captured after the unrest caused by the Edict of Worms , but was able to escape during the uprising. All other monks, insofar as they were not citizens of Antwerp, were arrested. Like other Dutch people , he now went to Bremen .

At the request of Count Jobst II von Hoya , Martin Luther sent him to Nienburg / Weser in 1525 . There Buxschott wrote the church ordinance for County Hoya . Based on this experience, he seemed suitable to do the corresponding work for the county of Lippe , where Count Jobst II von Hoya led the co-regency until Bernhard VIII was of legal age .

Together with Johann Timann in Bremen, he undertook this work. These church ordinances were sent to Wittenberg in 1538 and examined by Philipp Melanchthon . In the same year it was introduced on September 15 , so that the County of Lippe became Protestant. Buxschott worked as a preacher in Nienburg and Drakenburg . Because of his Dutch pronunciation, he was often difficult to understand, but was still considered an impressive and effective preacher.
