Life

Albert Georg Schwartz came from an old patrician family that had been flourishing in Greifswald since 1278 , had a Moor's head between the stag's antlers in the coat of arms, and was represented by numerous members in the Council of Stralsund and Greifswald.

Albert Georg Schwartz was the son of Pastor Albrecht Schwartz and Maria Zarnikow. He attended the Greifswald city school and from 1704 the Stralsund high school .

In 1705 he began to study theology in Greifswald . Schwartz was particularly encouraged by Johann Friedrich Mayer . In 1708 he went to Wittenberg, where he especially heard from Caspar Loescher . After brief stays in Leipzig, Halle, Jena and Erfurt, he returned to Greifswald in 1709.

In 1710 he accepted a position as a private tutor with the von Behr family , which was ended the following year by the Great Northern War . He then became tutor to the Russian city commandant of Greifswald, Major General von Buck. When the major general resigned from Russian service in 1713, he accompanied his family to Mecklenburg. A little later he became the family tutor again until 1717 and taught on their property. After that, after short stays in Lüneburg and Hamburg in 1716 and 1717, where he had scientific contacts with Johann Albert Fabricius , he returned to Greifswald and did his doctorate there.

He then began teaching at the Faculty of Philosophy. In 1721 he received the adjunct and became honorary professor of the faculty.

In 1722 Schwartz married Anna Elisabeth Berendes.
