Caspar Heinrich Starck , also Kaspar , Starcke , Starke (born May 15, 1681 in Lübeck , † February 17, 1750 in Siebenbäum ) was an Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and church historian .

Live and act

After visiting the Katharineum , Starck studied Protestant theology at the University of Wittenberg from 1698 and at the University of Leipzig from 1701 . In 1708 he was appointed pastor of the church in Siebenbäume by the church patron Magnus von Wedderkop auf Steinhorst , part of which was pledged from Lübeck until 1747. He remained in this position for 42 years until the end of his life. In his theology was a late representative of Lutheran orthodoxy and fought against every form of pietism , particularly with Leonhard Christoph Sturm .

Together with Jacob von Melle , he was one of the editors of the scholarly monthly Nova litteraria maris Balthici et Septentrionis during his candidate period from 1705 to 1708 . His Lübeck Church History from 1724 is of particular importance for the church history of Lübeck. He also wrote a number of exegetical and practical theological writings.
