Daniel Michaelis , also Daniel Michael (born November 8, 1621 in Güstrow , † December 22, 1652 in Rostock ) was a German Protestant theologian and university professor .

Life

Daniel Michaelis was the son of the later superintendent of the Güstrow church district, Daniel Michaelis (1591–1644). He came to Wismar in 1638 because of the plague . There he attended the Great City School . In May 1640 he went to the University of Rostock . In 1642 he moved to the University of Königsberg , where he obtained a master's degree. He actually wanted to pursue a teaching career in Königsberg, but there were signs of consumption , which is why he returned to Rostock at his father's request.

Michaelis completed his habilitation in Rostock in the winter semester of 1645/1646 and became a private lecturer . After a study trip through Denmark and the Netherlands, he returned to Rostock again. There he received the ducal professorship of theology by order of July 25, 1649 , which Thomas Lindemann (the Younger) (1609–1654) had previously held until 1638 and which Michaelis was promised in 1644. On May 14, 1650 he was promoted to Dr. theol. PhD and admitted to the Faculty of Theology on July 15 of the same year. In the same year he married the Rostock senator widow Agnes Geismer, b. Eggebrecht (1602–1664), a daughter of the mayor of Wismar Daniel Eggebrecht († 1628).
