Bernhard Christian Kosegarten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Christian Kosegarten (born March 7, 1722 in Parchim ; † June 17, 1803 in Grevesmühlen ) was a German Protestant theologian, pastor and prepositus.

Life

His parents, the spice dealer Adam Kosegarten and his wife Ilsabe Sophie Hartmann, daughter of the Malchow pastor (Johann) Adam Hartmann († 1739) and sister of the Rostock professor Joachim Hartmann , moved to Stargard, where the son received his first lessons. From 1734 he attended the scholarly school in Neubrandenburg , from 1737 the cathedral school Güstrow and from 1739 the University of Rostock . From 1741 he was a private tutor and in 1745 he went to Halle in the hope of receiving a position as field preacher , where he mainly studied the Hebrew and French languages. In 1748 he caused quite a stir in Mecklenburg with a theological pamphlet, had to answer to the consistory and revoke his theses by oath. In 1750 Kosegarten became adjunct in Grevesmühlen and in 1767 received the preposition.

family

Bernhard Christian Kosegarten was married four times. Thirteen children are known from these marriages.

In his first marriage, in 1750 with the Grevesmühlen pastor's daughter Sophie Johanna Buttstädt († 1762), he had, among others, the sons Johann (Joachim) (1751-1825) and Ludwig Gotthard Kosegarten . In 1762 he married the Schwerin councilor daughter Anna Christina Stiegehaus (1743–1797) and had with her the sons Christian and Friedrich Franz . In 1798 Kosegarten married the much younger daughter Friederike of the surgeon Schröder from Lübeck . The marriage was divorced shortly afterwards and in 1802 she married her foster son Friedrich Franz, who, according to contemporary tradition, had made her “turned away” from her father . In 1801 or 1802 Kosegarten married the Trondheim maid Anne Katharine Linden, but died two years later.
