Anton Burchard

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Burchard , also Borchers (* 1584 in Lübeck , † March 28, 1628 in Kiel ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and controversial theologian.

Life

After visiting the Katharineum , Burchard studied Protestant theology from May 1599 at the University of Rostock and from 1601 at the University of Wittenberg . In Wittenberg he was the respondent to two disputations (1602 and 1604) chaired by David Runge and graduated in 1602 with a master's degree .

In 1606 he went to the grammar school in Stettin as vice-principal . In 1613 the Lübeck council appointed him deacon (3rd pastor) at St. Marien zu Lübeck . When the city of Lübeck signed an alliance treaty to secure free navigation in the North and Baltic Seas with the sovereign Dutch States General in autumn of this year , the treaty basically saw the settlement of Reformed people in Lübeck as possible. Burchard, on the other hand, preached passionate sermons because he regarded any communion between the Lutheran city and the Calvinists, which he regarded as a foreign religion , as a sin. Despite the strong support that Burchard enjoyed from his colleagues, Superintendent Georg Stampelius , who was on the side of the council and represented a more modern position of tolerance, had to intervene. With the help of two reports obtained from the theological faculty of the University of Rostock and the law faculty of the University of Gießen , Stampelius succeeded in 1614 in removing Burchard from the council as the owner of the sovereign church regiment and having him expelled from the city.

He first went back to the University of Rostock, where he worked as a lecturer. In 1616 he was appointed pastor at the Nikolaikirche in Kiel . Here he stayed until the end of his life.

In his first marriage he was with Elisabeth, geb. Schening married. In his second marriage he married Ursula, geb. Matzo. He became the progenitor of a family that had been clergymen in Holstein for generations. From his first marriage he had a son Matthias (born August 20, 1619 in Kiel, † August 29, 1679 in Kiel). After studying in Rostock, he became a pastor in Kiel. He was the father of the physician Christoph Martin Burchard . The son from his second marriage Georg Heinrich (born June 21, 1624 in Kiel; † June 15, 1701 in Heiligenhafen) received his master's degree in Rostock in 1653 and was last pastor in Heiligenhafen .

His descendants include Heinrich Adolf Burchardi , Samuel Christoph Burchardi and Georg Christian Burchardi .
