Christoph Entzelt
Christoph Entzelt (also: Enzelius ; * 1517 in Saalfeld / Saale ; † March 15, 1583 in Osterburg ) was a German Protestant clergyman and historian .
Christoph Entzelt studied from 1532 at the University of Wittenberg , where he attended Martin Luther's lectures. In 1539 he became rector in Tangermünde , then pastor in Rathenow and in 1558 pastor in Osterburg.
In addition to his pastoral work, he dealt with the history of the Brandenburg Altmark . As a result of his research he published in Magdeburg in 1579 a “Cronika der alten Mark”, which was shaped by regent genealogies and which saw several later editions and is considered the first independent historical work of the Altmark. In addition, he contributed to the work published in Magdeburg in 1581 on the "Origin and Arrival of the Ancient, Knightly Dignity of the von Alvensleben ".
