Christoph Kaldenbach , ( Caldenbach , born August 11, 1613 in Schwiebus ; † July 16, 1698 in Tübingen ) was a German humanist and poet and one of the most productive members of the Königsberg group of poets .
Life
Kaldenbach attended high school in Frankfurt (Oder) from 1622 , where he also enrolled at the university in 1629. From 1631 he continued his studies of philosophy in Königsberg , where in 1639 he found a job as vice principal of the Latin school. From 1645 he was prorector , and it was not until 1647 that he was finally able to complete his master's degree. In 1651 he was appointed professor of Greek at the University of Königsberg. He was an active member of the poet group " Kürbishütte " around Simon Dach .
His reputation as a classical philologist led to his appointment to the University of Tübingen in 1656 , where he continued to produce scholarly writings as well as an extraordinary number of occasional poems . Dünnhaupt has no fewer than 223 printed titles. Kaldenbach was married four times and died at the high age of 84 at the time, leaving behind an extensive estate with many unique items by the Königsberg poets, which have been preserved in Tübingen to this day.
