Daniel Klesch (also: Daniel Klesch von Iglo ; * February 22, 1624 in Iglo ; † 1697 in Berlin ) was a Carpathian-German Lutheran theologian and poet .

Life

The older brother of Christoph Klesch studied from 1644 at the University of Wittenberg and at the University of Strasbourg . In Wittenberg he obtained the academic degree of a master’s degree in 1649 and was crowned with the poet's crown. In 1652 he received the nobility patent, was deputy principal in Ödenburg until 1659 and was given a parish office in Günz . Due to the expulsion of the evangelical clergy from Hungary , he had to resign from his office as senior pastor of the 24 royal cities in 1674.

After he was held in custody in 1673, he came to Jena in 1676 as the school principal . From there he received a high school professorship in Weißenfels in 1682 and in the same year came to the superintendent in Heldrungen . Because he had attacked the Lutheran doctrine with his interpretation of the Apocalypse ( Bestia Bicornis ), he was removed from his office in 1690 as a "fanatic". In the last few years he stayed mainly in Hamburg and Berlin, where he benefited from a pardon from the Brandenburg Elector Friedrich III. (I.) lived.

Klesch excelled as a writer of sermons, songs, poems and occasional writings. In the German-minded cooperative he was named the worshiper , in the fruitful society the name of the strongest and in the fruitful Jesus society the creeping one .
