Life

The son of the rector in Rhine and pastor in Nikolaiken Andreas Kowalewski (* 1669; † December 9, 1725) was initially trained by his father and had attended the city school in his hometown. On April 15, 1715, he enrolled at the University of Königsberg to study law. On September 2, 1727, under Reinhold Friedrich Sahme , he acquired his licentiate in law with the dissertation juridica inauguralis, prior, de judicio militum statario, vulgo Vom Standt = law, item Standt -gericht . Through further studies at the University of Halle in 1729 he was able to acquire the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. In the same year he returned to Königsberg, where he took over the extraordinary professorship in rhetoric and history.

In Königsberg he received his doctorate in law on June 29, 1730. In 1733 he became Samland Consistorial Councilor and in 1735 a full professor of history and rhetoric. After he was appointed vice-president and vice-official of the Samland Consistory in 1745, he became the first professor at the law faculty and became chancellor of the university in 1752. In addition, he had presided over the summer semesters of 1755, 1759, 1763 and 1767 as rector of the alma mater .

He left an impressive collection of 2,500 volumes and a collection of portraits to the academic library. His only daughter Christina Katharina was the heiress of the Tribunal Councilor Theodor Pauli, who left an important coin collection. She also set up the Kowalewski scholarship on December 29, 1771 at the Königsberg University.
