Anton Remmelding
Anton Remmelding (* approx. 1513 in the Duchy of Geldern , † 1584 in Stargard ) was a Protestant theologian.
Remmelding attended school in Deventer , where Johannes Lippius was one of his teachers. The abbot of the Eldena monastery recruited him there in 1528 as a novice with the promise of financing his studies. 1534 he traveled with other novices to pin Pomerania , where he by the Bishop Erasmus von Manteuffel , the consecration was a monk. During the trip and during a stay at Belbuck Abbey , Remmelding and his companions came into contact with Reformation ideas.
During the secularization of the Eldena Monastery, his request for financial support to continue his studies at the University of Wittenberg was granted. Around 1535 Remmelding went to Wittenberg to study theology. In 1537 he became a Protestant pastor in Pasewalk , after which he worked in Stettin - possibly from 1542 . In 1556 he was transferred to the Marienkirche in Stargard as pastor . He held this office until his death.
Anton Remmelding left an autobiographical script in Latin that has not been preserved in the original. It was presented to the chronicler Daniel Cramer . Cramer translated several parts from Remmelding's handwriting, which he included in the history of his "Great Pomeranian Church Chronicle" (editions from 1603 and 1628).
