Andreas Schoppius

Andreas Schoppius , also: Andreas Schoppe (* around 1538 in Lebenstedt ; † April 17, 1614 in Wernigerode ) was a German Lutheran theologian, author of edification and chronicler of the city of Braunschweig .

Life

After attending school in Braunschweig, Schoppius moved to the University of Wittenberg in 1555 , where he mainly attended the lectures of Philipp Melanchthon . In 1558 he returned to the Braunschweiger Martineum as a Latin school teacher , in order to start studying again at the University of Rostock in 1561 , where in 1562 he obtained a master's degree and his name was Latinized. In 1562 he was appointed second school rector to Güstrow , in 1568 pastor and administrator of the Alvensleben library in Erxleben, and in 1589 he was appointed pastor, school supervisor and Latin teacher to Wernigerode.

As a representative of Lutheran orthodoxy, Schoppius wrote numerous theological writings. In addition, works of edification literature come from him . The brief excerpt from the most distinguished histories and history of the laudable and widely vaunted city of Braunschweig , which was written in 1561 and revised in 1563 and probably more often, is of literary importance , but never appeared in print.
