from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Life

Erich Melchior Lunde was a son of Pastor Jonas Lunde. After studying theology, he was assigned to his father as an adjunct in Mandelsloh in 1700 . In 1701 he took over his position. In 1708 he was appointed superintendent to Osterode, where he was able to gain increasing trust and break through the resistance of the local clergy against the patronage of the state. In 1710 the spiritual city ministry was dissolved under the leadership of the pastor primarius of the Aegidienkirche. All the clergy in the city were subordinate to the superintendent. After the death of Caspar CalvörLunde was appointed general superintendent on March 1, 1726. During his short term of office, the church's administrative structures were reorganized, which brought the parishes Herzberg, Eisdorf, Elbingerode, Hattorf, Wulften, Schwiegershausen, Dorste, Nienstedt-Förste and Sieber to Osterode. Lunde died after a few months on August 15, 1726 and was buried in the St. Jacobi Castle Church in Osterode.
