Christoph Gottehr Burghart

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christoph Gottehr Timotheus Burghart (born August 2, 1683 in Prauss, Nimptsch district in Silesia , today Kolaczów , Gmina Dzierżoniów in Poland; died February 14, 1745 in Reichenbach am Eulengebirge in Silesia (today Dzierżoniów in Poland)) was a German poet and doctor .

life and work

Burghart studied from 1701 to 1704 in Wittenberg , where he also received his doctorate . During his student days he was friends with Christian Hölmann , also a physician and editor of parts 4 and 5 of Benjamin Neukirch's anthology , in which he included numerous gallant poems written by Burghart at that time , which are identified by the initials CGB . As an example, the third stanza of He Loves Without Hope :

But alas! kanstu leave?
Hate Kanstu?
Saladin Lisetten's splendor /
Oh in vain: whether I should /
Whether I want /
No one is in my power /
I would rather be spirit and life /
Give again /
Before my heart gives up faithfully /
Whether the chains of
Lisette would
still have bad hope /
Stay I'm in love with her.

In 1704 Burghart began to work as a general practitioner and married Anna Rosine Bischof, a merchant's daughter from Breslau , who is probably identical to "Lisette", "Lisillis" and "Elise" from Burghart's poems. The author appears in the poems under the name "Saladin". From this marriage comes an only son, Gottfried Heinrich Burghart , like his father a respected doctor and writer. Burghart later also became mayor of Reichenbach. He published medical writings in Latin , but no more poetry after 1704.
