Life

He was the son of the pastor, who worked in Alt Schwerin from 1788 to 1795, and Detlev Hartwig Diederich Heinrich Zander (1763-1845), who was appointed to the church council by Grand Duke Paul Friedrich after 50 years of office. The father was appointed to the patronage church in Lohmen by the Dobbertin monastery on January 10, 1796 , where he retired on September 3, 1838.

Christian Ludwig Enoch Zander attended the Güstrow Cathedral School from 1801 to 1810 . 1810-1812 he studied theology and philology at the University of Jena and in 1812 moved to the University of Berlin . In Jena in 1811 he became a member of the Vandalia Jena Landsmannschaft , from which the Urburschenschaft emerged in 1815 . From 1813 he took part in the Wars of Liberation until 1815 in the Lützow Freikorps , most recently as a lieutenant. After the war and after completing his studies, he was first tutor of the family of Count von Bernstorff from Gartow in Berlin . From 1819 he worked as a teacher, initially as a collaborator and a little later as sub-rector, from 1825 as prorector at the cathedral school in Ratzeburg . In 1838 he became vice rector and in 1839 professor.

With the opening of the Lauenburg School of Academics in Michaelis in 1845, he became its first rector until his retirement at Easter 1868. He bequeathed his library of 5,000 volumes to the Lauenburg School of Academics. In 1859 Ludwig Zander wrote the news about our ancestors .

He was married from 1819 to 1851 to Julie Auguste Elisabeth Passow from Badendiek near Güstrow and from 1853 to Franziska Friederike Juliane Seer from Neubukow . The marriages were childless.

Heinrich Zander, who later became Mecklenburg “bird pastor” at the village church of Barkow near Lübz, is his half-brother, who was born in Lohmen in 1800 . His second half-brother Johann Christoph Carl Zander, born in Lohmen in 1802, was a pastor in Woosten from 1828 and a preposition in Goldberg (Mecklenburg) from 1846–1872 .
