from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Esrom Rüdinger (also: Rudinger, Rüdiger, Latinized: Pape [n] bergensis; * May 19, 1523 in Bamberg ; †  December 2, 1591 in Altdorf near Nuremberg ) was a German philologist , educator , physicist and historian at the Unity of the Bohemian Brothers .

Life

Rüdinger studied from 1535 at the Philosophical (Artistic) Faculty of the University of Leipzig. Here he graduated from the bachelor’s degree in 1539 , became tutor to Joachim Camerarius the Elder in 1541 and obtained the academic degree of Master of the Seven Liberal Arts in the winter semester of 1545 . In 1547/48 he was second teacher (Collega prior) at the school at Pforta . In 1549 Rüdinger went to Zwickau as rector , wrote the school regulations there in 1550 and developed the educational institution into a new bloom.

On October 23, 1557, Rüdinger enrolled at the University of Wittenberg , became professor of physics that same year and joined the group of people around Philipp Melanchthon . He read about Philipp Melanchthon's De Anima and its physics. In 1570 he took over the professorship for the Greek language. Rüdinger also took part in the organizational tasks of the Wittenberg Academy. In 1559 and 1569 he was dean of the Philosophical Faculty and in the winter semester of 1562 he took over the rectorate of the university . Since the Gnesiolutherans of Lutheran Orthodoxy prevailed in Saxony at the Torgau Convent in 1574 , he was arrested as a Philippist as a cryptocalvinist because of his rejection of the Orthodox doctrine of the Lord's Supper .

However, he was able to free himself from any predicament and in 1575, even having joined the Bohemian brother union, went to Eibschütz in Moravia, where he took over the rectorate of the local school for 300 shock Meißner groschen . The school initially devoted itself to the education of the sons of the Moravian brother nobility and, under his leadership, achieved such a high status that high-ranking people from Germany sent their children there. After Rüdinger suffered a heart attack, as a result of which he suffered from paralysis in his hands and feet, he went to Altdorf in May or June 1588, where he died.

Genealogically, it should be noted that his first marriage in Leipzig in 1548 was Anna (* 1528; † September 16, 1558 in Wittenberg), the daughter of Joachim Camerarius the elder. He concluded his second marriage on May 26, 1561 in Wittenberg with Anna († 1587) the daughter of Hans Wesenick. The son Joachim (born August 15, 1563 in Wittenberg, immat UWB May 1, 1571) is known from this connection.
