Daniel Angelocrater
Daniel Angelocrater , actually Daniel Engelhardt (born October 19, 1569 in Korbach ; † July 30, 1635 Koethen ), was a German Reformed theologian .
Angelocrater, son of a baker and later mayor in Korbach in the county of Waldeck , studied theology in Marburg from 1588 and in Franeker in the Netherlands in 1589 . He then accompanied two young Hessian nobles, the boys from Ufflen and von Schachten , as a tutor at the universities of Marburg and Helmstedt . On his return in 1594 he got into an argument with his father because of his reformed faith and went to Geneva , where he made contact with the reformer Théodore de Bèze and where his former pupil von Ufflen gave him accommodation. Soon afterwards he got a very poorly paid job at the gymnasium in Stade .
From 1597 he lived in Northern Hesse , first as a pastor in Martinhagen , from 1601 in Istha and Wenigenhasungen and from 1606 in Frankenberg / Eder . In 1607 he was appointed archdeacon by Landgrave Moritz von Hessen-Kassel and in 1614 superintendent in Marburg. During these years he played a leading role in the reformed church reform of Hesse-Kassel, and he was one of the Hessian participants in the Dordrecht Synod from November 13, 1618 to May 9, 1619.
After the takeover of Marburg by the Landgrave Ludwig V of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1624 he had to leave Marburg and in 1625 he became pastor in Gudensberg . In 1626 he lost all his belongings to the pillaging troops of Tilly . He moved to Kassel and became an assessor in the consistory there . In 1627 he went to Köthen as superintendent in the Principality of Anhalt-Köthen . He held this office until 1631. Then he retired.
