Ernst Friedrich Mylius (born June 12, 1710 in Lühe , † December 15, 1774 in Hamburg ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and chief pastor in Hamburg.

Life

Ernst Friedrich Mylius was the son of a customs collector. During the Danish campaign in the course of the Great Northern War against the two duchies of Verden and Bremen and the siege of Stade in 1712, his mother fled with him to relatives in Hamburg. He stayed here until 1726, then completed his education at the cathedral school in Bremen and from 1730 studied Protestant theology at the University of Helmstedt , mainly with Johann Lorenz von Mosheim , and from 1732 to 1734 at the University of Jena . After four years as a private tutor with the bailiff Gebhardi in Verden , he became a deacon (2nd pastor) at St. Johannis (Verden) and vice rector at the Domgymnasium Verden in 1738 . In 1742 he was appointed as a deacon at the main church Sankt Petri in Hamburg. When the elected Melchior Gottlieb Minor resigned in 1744, he was elected as the successor of Johann Georg Palm on June 7th, 1744 as the main pastor at St. Petri. His appointment as senior of the Hamburg Ministry of Spirituality as the successor of the late Friedrich Wagner in 1760 he rejected for health reasons.

Since 1745 he was married to Margaretha Catharina Sophia, geb. Löwe, a daughter of the Hamburg mint master JH Löwe.

His extensive library, which had been abandoned, was auctioned on June 8, 1775.
