Life

Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer was a son of the Nürtingen hospital master and mayor Jakob Friedrich Duttenhofer . It came from his second wife Johanna Elisabeth, b. Spitteler. One of his older brothers was the pastor and silkworm expert Christoph Friedrich Duttenhofer .

Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer attended the Latin school in Nürtingen and from 1756 the monastery school in Denkendorf . In 1758 he began his studies in Tübingen . After completing his studies, he first became a private tutor in the household of one of his brothers who lived in Leipzig as a businessman. This gave him the opportunity to listen to other lectures, for example by Christian August Crusius and Christian Fürchtegott Gellert . Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer held other private tutor positions in Greifswald and Hamburg . He also traveled to England and France before he began his church career as a deacon in Beilstein in 1771 . In 1777 he became pastor in Gronau , in 1779 he moved to Heilbronn. Here he became a preacher at the main church , finally a prelate, general superintendent of the diocese of Heilbronn and senior consistorial councilor.

Works

Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer became interested in educational issues from an early age. His sermons on the upbringing of children , which were moved to Stuttgart, date from 1778 . As dean and consistorial councilor , Christian Friedrich Duttenhofer worked out a school program in 1803 that was based on the ideas of the Catholic school reformer Johann Ignaz von Felbiger . However, the program did not materialize.

Another area of Duttenhofer's work was the examination of Pietism and related currents. He took a radically enlightening position here. In 1787 the Freymüthige [n] investigations on pietism and orthodoxy came out, from 1796 to 1799 he published the multi-volume history of religious enthusiasm in the Christian church in Heilbronn and Rothenburg ob der Tauber . This work was renamed in a later edition of 1802 History of the Christian Religion, Its Distortion, Falsification, Restoration .

Other works were the sermons for the promotion of a reasonable and righteous Christianity from 1792, the attempt on the last principle of Christian moral doctrine from 1801 and the reflections on the history of Christianity from 1813.

Others

In 1806 the University of Helmstädt awarded him his doctorate.
