Life

The son of the accountant Caspar Lengerke (born October 23, 1770 in Hamburg; † August 16, 1852 ibid) and his wife Henriette Middeldorpf (born December 26, 1778 in Hamburg; † May 4, 1851 ibid), had for his first education Visited the learned school of the Johanneum in Hamburg. In the winter semester of 1824/25 he began studying theological sciences at the University of Breslau , with Daniel Georg Konrad von Cölln (1788–1833), David Schulz (1779–1854), Hinrich Middeldorpf and Franz Passow becoming his formative teachers. In 1825 he moved to the Friedrichs University in Halle , where, under the guidance of Wilhelm Gesenius and Karl Christian Reisig , he received his doctorate in philosophy in 1828 and obtained the academic degree of a licentiate in theology in Breslau.

A change to the Albertus University in Königsberg brought about his habilitation as a private lecturer at the theological faculty of the same in 1829. At the New Year of 1832 he was appointed associate professor of theology in Königsberg, in the summer of 1835 he was appointed doctor of theology and in the same year a full professor at the theological faculty. In this capacity he also participated in the organizational tasks of the Königsberg University and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semester of 1838/39 . Although he had received a call to the University of Giessen in 1835, he stayed in Königsberg.

Here he edited the Ostseeblätter published in Königsberg in 1832 and 1833, together with Friedrich Wilhelm Schubert and Eduard von Simson . He has also published various articles in the specialist journals of the Prussian provincial papers, the Danziger Dampfboten and other literary entertainment papers. Theological quarrels resulted in a change of office to the professorship of oriental languages in 1843 at the insistence of Johann Albrecht Friedrich von Eichhorn . Finally, in 1851, he broke with the Königsberg theologians when he published an anti-militarist poem. He retired from his work and moved to Elbing in 1853, where he ended his old age.
