Dithmar Huisman
Dithmar Huisman (also: Ditmar Huijsman ; born November 19, 1764 in Harderwijk ; † January 8, 1822 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch Reformed theologian and church historian.
Life
The son of Jan (Johan) Christiaan Huisman (1717–1788) and Alberta Appeldoorn had started studying literature and philosophy at the University of Harderwijk on August 11, 1778 after attending the Illustre grammar school in his hometown . A few years later he had received his doctorate in philosophy under Bernardus Nieuhoff (1747-1831) with the treatise De felici hujus mundi necessitate (Harderwijk 1782) . After that he seems to have turned to theological studies, because on September 26, 1785 he enrolled in the registry of the University of Leiden as a theology student. On April 1, 1787, as a pastor in Rijswijk (Gelderland) , he found his first place of work to apply his theoretical knowledge in practice. In the same capacity as pastor, he moved to Apeldoorn on August 2, 1789 , to Vlissingen on July 18, 1802, and arrived in Utrecht on August 14, 1803 as pastor of the Reformed Congregation.
In Utrecht he seems to have made so much impression that on March 19, 1804 the curators of the University of Utrecht decided to appoint him professor of ethics and church history at the philosophical faculty. Here he received his doctorate on June 2, 1804, he was conferred on the philosophical faculty by Johann Friedrich Hennert and took up the position entrusted to him on June 14, 1804 with the speech De diversis, quae vera conciliat eruditio in vita hominum, tam privata quam publica commodis . However, he kept his pastor. In the function of university lecturer he also took part in the organizational tasks of the university and became rector of the alma mater in 1808/09 , which he resigned from with the treatise Diversitas classis hominum et status constituit solum salutis humanae societas fundamentum . He also became a member of the Society of Arts and Sciences in Utrecht. He experienced a short vacancy for his professorship from October 16, 1815 to November 6, 1815 when the university was closed.
On October 22, 1812 in Utrecht, he married Suze Christina Strick van Linschoten (* 1772; † April 13, 1823 in Utrecht), the daughter of Johan Batlthasar Strick van Linschoten and Charlotta Martha van Utenhove. No children from the marriage are known.
