Life

Balthasar Gerhard Hanneken was a son of Menno Hanneken and his wife Justina Eleonora, nee. Mentzer (1612–1669), a daughter of Balthasar Mentzer the Elder . Philipp Ludwig Hanneken (1637–1706) and Nikolaus Hanneken (1639–1708) were his older brothers.

He grew up in Lübeck, where his father was appointed superintendent in 1646 . After visiting the Katharineum in Lübeck , he studied Protestant theology at the University of Giessen . In 1662 he was respondent to a disputation chaired by Jacob Le Bleu. In 1663 he enrolled as a master at the University of Rostock .

On July 5, 1667, he was appointed deacon at St. Mary's Church, later became archdeacon and in 1701 chief pastor. In his office he represented a moderate Lutheran Orthodox position . He sought a conversation with Philipp Jacob Spener , whom he had met personally on a drinking cure trip with his brother to Bad Schwalbach , and in 1690 stood up for August Hermann Francke , but in 1692 he pushed for the deportation of the radical Pietist Adelheid Schwartz, the painter's wife Johann Heinrich Schwartz , from the city.

He was married to Catharina, geb. Stolten. His son of the same Balthasar Gerhard Hanneken (cleric, 1678) was the senior pastor at the Lübeck Cathedral and senior .

The rector of the Katharineum Enoch Svantenius (the younger) and the Jakobi pastor Christoph Rhon († 1738) gave him funeral speeches, which were also printed. Jacob von Melle succeeded him as chief pastor.

Balthasar Gerhard Hanneken was reminded of a full-length pastor picture in the Marienkirche. It hung first on the south-eastern wall of the confessional chapel ( Marientidenkapelle ) and since 1846 in the Greveradenkapelle, where it burned on the night of Palm Sunday 1942 during the air raid on Lübeck .

The Lübeck city ​​library keeps part of his posthumous correspondence with 60 letters to him (inventory of the Hanneken II estate ) as well as his family book (friendship album) with entries from the years 1659 to 1666. In the autograph collection of the Stuttgart Konistorialdirektor Friedrich Wilhelm Frommann in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek in Stuttgart Hanneken's entry from July 15, 1682 in the register of Johann Osiander (theologian, 1657) has been preserved.
