Christian Ransleben

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Ransleben (born March 18, 1650 in Spandau, † July 14, 1714 in Berlin ) was a German Lutheran pastor and poet who emerged as such, among other things, as the author of numerous epices .

Life

Christian Ransleben was the son of the Spandau craftsman Jakob Ransleben and his wife Susanna Nisicke. Up to the age of eleven he attended the Spandau city school, whereupon he was taught by various private teachers in Brandenburg an der Havel and Rathenow, only to study shortly afterwards at the Cöllnisches Gymnasium. Already deposited at the University of Frankfurt (Oder) in 1666 , he soon studied there at the University of Jena from 1673 to 1674. Afterwards, Ransleben worked for several years as a private tutor until he was appointed to the Cölln High School as a baccalaureate in 1677. After he had worked here for three years, the magistrate asked him to give a trial sermon on Friedrichswerder . Up until this point in time, the Cölln Ministry of Spirituality had to deal with the official duties of Friedrichswerder, west of Cölln, but on November 7, 1680, Ransleben was appointed as the first Lutheran preacher together with the first Reformed pastor, Adolph Christoph Stosch (1653-1691) . In the absence of a church, both pastors first had to take turns preaching in Friedrichswerder's town hall , until 1701 when the Marstall provided by Elector Friedrich-Wilhelm served as a church . Probably because the Jerusalem Church in Friedrichstadt had been designated for Ransleben's trial sermon , whose patronage was initially disputed between the magistrates of Cölln and Friedrichwerder, Ransleben's position in the community was initially difficult.

Shortly after his inauguration, he married Ursula nee Lube, a daughter of the city judge Jakob Lube and sister of the chamber councilor Christian Friedrich Luben von Wulffen. Three years later, his sphere of activity was extended to the Dorotheenstadt, where there was no church until 1687, so instead preaching had to be done in the open air in summer and in a town house in winter, although after completion of the Dorotheenstadt church, it was not alone as a simultaneous church used by the Reformed and Lutheran congregations, but even by the French. Numerous disputes related to this between the preachers have been handed down, on the one hand theological, on the other hand also of a financial nature. Ransleben, for example, turned to Philipp Jakob Spener when the garrison preacher had approved more than five sponsors and thus increased his income considerably, which led him to limit the number of sponsors. Ransleben served in both of his offices until his death in 1714.

Works (selection)

Ransleben's works are essentially numerous epices and some epithalamies. Due to their sometimes extravagant backgrounds, some are also suitable as personal historical sources of the Northern War
