Ferdinand Ludwig Immanuel Dillenius

Ferdinand Ludwig Immanuel Dillenius (born January 2, 1791 in Urach , † December 11, 1871 in Stuttgart ) was a Württemberg pastor and dean who also worked as a translator, poet and local history researcher.

Life

Dillenius' father was the Württemberg priest and teacher Friedrich Wilhelm Jonathan Dillenius (1754–1815), originally from Knittlingen , who had also distinguished himself as a translator of classics ( Appian's Roman history) and the author of school books and popular philosophical writings. Ferdinand Dillenius studied theology at the Tübingen Abbey from 1808 , where he belonged to Gustav Schwab's circle of friends . In 1810 he completed his studies with a master's degree .

Until 1814 he was vicar with his father in Hemmingen , then garrison pastor in Gmünd and at the same time prison pastor in Gotteszell . In May 1817 he married Caroline Julie Charlotte (1792–1861), b. Glaser, daughter of Captain Johann Karl Glaser in Stuttgart and Luise Christine geb. Baroness of Gaisspitzheim on Ramstein. The marriage had five children.

Other pastor posts led Dillenius to Oberböbingen (1817–1824) and Steinenberg (1824–1829). In 1829 he was promoted to dean (at the same time parish priest ) of the church district of Blaufelden , in 1836 he moved to the church district of Weinsberg as dean and Weinsberg parish priest , where the doctor and poet Justinus Kerner , in whose Weinsberg house the Swabian poet circle met, was one of his friends. In 1857 he was retired at his request and moved to Stuttgart on May 26 , where he lived until his death at the age of 80. In the year of his retirement in 1857, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Württemberg Order of Frederick .

From 1818 Dillenius was director of the school conference for the Aalen district , and from 1824 to 1829 he held the same office for the Schorndorf district . The Royal Württemberg Agricultural Association accepted him as a corresponding member in 1821. In his last official residence, Weinsberg, Dillenius was the first chairman of the newly founded choral society Liederkranz Urbanus in 1839 and, in the 1840s, he was chairman of the agricultural association of the Weinsberger valley for many years . After his retirement in 1860 he became an extraordinary member of the Royal Statistical-Topographical Bureau in Stuttgart.

Like his father, Dillenius wrote and translated, and occasional publications on church music, local history and meteorology accompanied his pastor days. His translation of Appian's Roman stories was published in 15 volumes by Metzler in Stuttgart from 1828 to 1837. After his retirement, he researched the history of the city of Weinsberg for several years in the archives of the city, state and church, and in 1860 his work Weinsberg, formerly free Reichs-, now Württemb appeared. Oberamtsstadt. Chronicle of the same . For the Statistical-Topographical Bureau he worked as main author on the description of the Oberamt Weinsberg , which appeared in 1861. Occasionally Dillenius tried his hand at being a poet. His only major poetic work, however, was the drama Florian Geyer von Geyern, captain of the black crowd in the great peasant war of 1525 , published in 1868 but written earlier , a series of loosely connected scenes written in verse about the peasant leader Florian Geyer .
