Felix Fidler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felix Fidler , also Fidlerus , Fiedler (* 1633 in Rostock ; † January 8, 1707 in Teterow ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and founder.

Life

Felix Fidler came from a family of academics who had come to northern Germany as religious refugees from Switzerland . He was a son of the Rostock pastor and superintendent Konstantin Fiedler (* 1579 in Danzig , † 1644 in Rostock). The poet of the same name Felix Fiedler (approx. 1575–1626) was his uncle. In 1648, already as a teenager, he was enrolled at the University of Rostock . In 1658 he was respondent to a disputation on the 28th chapter of the book of Isaiah chaired by August Varenius , with which he probably completed his studies.

In June 1661 he was appointed second pastor at the town church in Teterow . From 1689 he kept the church book. From 1673 until his retirement in 1705 he was pastor primarius and prepositus. From 1704 his son Constantin Fidler (1665-1726) was his adjunct , who then became second pastor in 1705 and this remained until the end of his life. The grandson (Heinrich) Christoph Fidler also became pastor in Teterow in 1727.

Foundation and remembrance

School building from 1860 ( clock school ), today a theater

On St. John's Day (June 24th) 1699, Felix Fiedler established the Foundation for the Best of Poor School Children . The foundation maintained the Fiedler School Foundation . The foundation's assets included arable and garden areas on the Fliederkamp (Schulkamp), which were leased to the city and whose lease proceeds were used to support poor schoolchildren.

The newly built schoolhouse was built here in 1860, as well as further school buildings in 1885, 1903 and 1966.

The house built in 1875 as a toddler school is called Pastor-Fiedler-Haus ; it housed the municipal cultural foundation Teterower Kreis until it was dissolved in 1995 .

The Pastor-Fiedler-Weg in Teterow at the park on Schulkamp between Poggestraße and Schulstraße is also reminiscent of Felix Fiedler.
