Life

Ernst Johann Friedrich Mantzel comes from an extensive family of scholars of theologians and lawyers who had lived in Mecklenburg since the end of the 16th century . He was born as the eldest son of the pastor at the village church Jördenstorf , Caspar Mantzel (1666–1735) and his wife Maria, geb. Rosenow, a pastor's daughter from Jördenstorf The Mecklenburg jurist Ernst Johann Friedrich Mantzel (the younger) (1748–1806) was his grandson. The Rostock professor of the Greek language (councilor) Johann Mantzel (1643–1716) was his uncle.

Mantzel was tutored by his father for the last two years before he started his studies. At the request of his father, he studied at the University of Rostock in Johann Joachim Weidner theology . As early as the second semester, he had to defend Weidner's celebratory publication in the public festival disputation for the Reformation anniversary in 1717. For the 300th anniversary of Rostock University in 1719, he publicly defended his first scientific work De commercio peculiari sanctorum Dei virorum cum viris quibusdam exteris , which dealt with the saints of the Old and New Testaments. Mantzel's inclination, which was put aside for his father's sake, went towards jurisprudential rather than theological studies. In addition to studying theology, he turned to his real inclination, law, and attended legal lectures from Stein and Jakob Carmon . After moving to the University of Wittenberg , his father also allowed him to change the subject, where he was influenced in law by Johannes Balthasar Wernher , Menke and Christoph Heinrich von Berger . In 1720 he returned to Rostock to do his doctorate. He defended in 1720 his first dissertation De scientiis quae iurisprudentiae study Potissimum adjuvant et exornant and was on 23 September 1721 a further dissertation entitled De potioribus aetatum privilegiis doctorate .

He then started lecturing at the University of Rostock and received a professorship for morals from the Senate of the Hanseatic City of Rostock at this university, jointly administered by the Rostock City Council and the sovereign, at the beginning of 1722, as a legal professorship was not available for him in the position plan was, and at the same time earned his master's degree . In 1730 he became professor for institutions at the law faculty of the University of Rostock, again at the appointment of the Rostock Council. From 1735 he got into an argument with the satyr Christian Ludwig Liscow . In 1746 he was next appointed, this time by the Mecklenburg sovereign, to the chair of pandects , so that he became a member of the ducal part of the college. When the University of Rostock split up in 1760, Mantzel went with the entire Collegium Ducale to the University of Bützow , newly founded by the duke , where he held the first legal professorship until the end of his life.

Mantzel was rector of the University of Rostock several times . For the ducal house he also worked as a consistorial councilor and was awarded the character of a chancellery . In Bützow Mantzel was rector of the university in 1762 and 1767/68 .

His son, (Johann) Heinrich Mantzel (1723–1762), who worked as a master's degree at the University of Rostock and as a pastor at the Petrikirche in Rostock, died in 1762.
