Ernst Theodor Johann Brückner
Ernst Theodor Johann Brückner , actually: Ernst Brückner (born September 13, 1746 in Neetzka ; † May 29, 1805 in Neubrandenburg ) was a German theologian and writer. He was the only foreign member of the Göttinger Hainbund .
life and work
Ernst (Theodor Johann) Brückner (No. 19 in the gender census ) was born as the younger son of the Protestant pastor Christoph (Adam) Brückner (1713–1786) and his wife, the pastor's daughter Sophia, née. Trendelenburg (1725-1759). He is one of the direct descendants of the important southeast Mecklenburg theologian and superintendent Theodor Trendelenburg (1696–1765). The Neubrandenburg doctor and city and district physicist Adolf (Friedrich Theodor) Brückner (1744-1823) was his brother.
After long home tuition, Brückner attended school in Neubrandenburg and then the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium in Berlin. From 1765 to 1767 he studied Protestant theology at the Friedrichs University in Halle . In 1770 he became a substitute in Wesenberg (Mecklenburg) and in 1771 a preacher in Großviel , where he was friends with Johann Heinrich Voss . Through him he came to the Göttingen Hainbund , founded in September 1772 , which accepted him as absentee in December 1772. After he had an article printed in the Musenalmanach edited by Voss , he received a reprimand. In 1789 Brückner became a preacher, then chief pastor in Neubrandenburg. In 1772 his dramas appeared anonymously under the title “Something for the German Schaubühne”. A collection of poems only appeared in Neustrelitz in 1803.
Brückner was married to the pastor's daughter Dorothea (Helena Beata) Fabricius (1742-1802), with whom he had seven children, since 1771 . One daughter, Margarethe (1772–1820), married Adolf Friedrich (1770–1838), a brother of the painter Caspar David Friedrich .

Remarks
- ↑ Well known and wrongly introduced in literary history for centuries, however, it is known with all baptismal names. This is followed by the GND and documents this best-known form of name.
- ↑ date of birth according to self-disclosure in historical documents (church records cannot be verified due to loss of sources!); Bibliography that he was born on May 23, 1746 or September 23, 1746 is most likely incorrect.
- ↑ Among Trendelenburg's direct and by-marriage descendants, more than 30 Mecklenburg pastors are known from nine generations.
