Franz Hemme

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Hemme (or Hemmen , also: Franciscus Hemme (n) ; born March 1, 1670 in Hanover ; † June 9, 1731 in Scharzfeld ) was a Protestant clergyman.

Life

Franciscus Hemme was the son of the tailor Hennig Hemmen and his wife Anna Margarete and was baptized in the Marktkirche in Hanover. He attended school in Hanover and Celle and in 1690 went to study theology first in Helmstedt and in 1691 in Jena at the university there .

On November 14, 1695, Hemme was employed as a pastor at the Marienkirche in Minden . In 1704 he published the funeral sermon for Gerhard Daniel Engering, the royal Prussian land physicist of the Principality of Minden , in 1705 and 1706 funeral speeches for Johann Georg Marggraf, senior of the Minden ministry, and his wife.

On July 18, 1708, Hemme was appointed pastor at the Aegidienkirche in Hanover .

In November 1730, Hemme was found with a woman of ill repute and taken home drunk. He was placed under house arrest by the magistrate. After he had allowed a deadline to voluntarily resign from office, he was strictly interrogated at home on January 6th and " brought to the town hall in a litter at 11 o'clock at night ".

The scandal surrounding the pastor's way of life was a widespread topic of conversation at the time, so Johann Christoph Gottsched wrote in a letter from Uelzen in January 1731: “In this Hanover, the godless seven-year-old preacher Hemmen is now undergoing a severe investigation and he is sitting in the town hall . The dreadful and no doubt already known annoyance, he said, was a cause of frequent pasquilles so that everyone would be weary. "

On January 20, 1731, Hemme was sentenced to life imprisonment and " brought into permanent custody at night ... after Scharzfels Castle , in the principality of Grubenhagen ". He died only a few months later in prison in Scharzfels.
