Ehrenfried Christian Colberg
Ehrenfried Christian Colberg (born August 28, 1729 in Stralsund ; † January 16, 1804 there ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and superintendent in Stralsund.
Life
Ehrenfried Christian Colberg came from a Pomeranian theologian family. He was a son of the Stralsund superintendent Johann Friedrich Colberg . After attending the Stralsund high school until 1748, he studied Protestant theology at the universities of Jena and from 1750 Göttingen . Here he graduated as a Magister in 1752 with a disputation chaired by Johann David Michaelis (1717–1791) on the immortality of the soul in Moses .
In 1754 he became a deacon (2nd pastor) and in 1781 pastor at the Jakobikirche in Stralsund. In 1792 he was appointed superintendent for Stralsund. At the same time, the Theological Faculty of the University of Greifswald awarded him an honorary doctorate in theology. For this act, General Superintendent Gottlieb Schlegel from West Pomerania wrote a Latin congratulatory document on the relationship between politics and the church under the title Moses et Aaron fratres ( The Brothers Moses and Aaron ).
During his term of office between Sensitivity and Enlightenment , the introduction of a new order of worship in Stralsund and a liturgical manual published by him in 1795 fall. Even before that, he had been one of the editors of the new Stralsund hymn book in 1786/87 , for which he reworked many chorals in the sense of Enlightenment theology .
His son Johann Ehrenfried Colberg (1750-1822) also became a pastor. He worked at the Heilgeistkirche and as an assistant to his father.
