Christian Friedrich Germershausen

Christian Friedrich Germershausen (born February 18, 1725 in Schlalach ; † May 22, 1810 ibid) was a German Protestant clergyman and, as an agricultural and domestic writer, the last representative of the actual household literature in Germany.

Germershausen came from a Protestant pastor family. Until shortly before his death he worked in the pastorate that his father had already held. In 1791 he was one of the founders of the Märkische Economic Society in Potsdam .

His marriage from 1751 to Dorothea Günther († 1781) probably remained childless. Since his colleague Bandow died early in Luckenwalde, he adopted his son, who was his successor in 1807.
