Friedrich lady

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Dame (* July 22, 1567 in a place that belonged to the Preetz Monastery ; † December 18, 1635 in Flensburg ) was an Evangelical Lutheran pastor.

Live and act

Friedrich Dame was a son of the Glücksburg administrative administrator Henrich Dame, who later worked as a merchant in Flensburg. His mother Agatha came from the island of Nordstrand and belonged to the knightly family of Leves. Dame attended the Flensburg grammar school from 1576 and moved to Herlufsholm two years later . In 1586 he began to study theology at the University of Rostock , which he continued in 1588 in Frankfurt an der Oder . During this time he lived with Christoph Pelargus .

After graduating in 1590 as Master taught Dame temporarily at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Frankfurt. Probably because he knew the Rantzau family or the Münsterdorfer provost Johannes Vorstius, he was appointed headmaster of a school in Itzehoe in 1592 . In 1594 he took over a position as a deacon of the Nicolaikirche in Flensburg as the successor to his future father-in-law . Six years later he rose to pastor the church and was appointed provost of the city and office of Flensburg another four years later .

Lady kept these offices and her place of residence with one interruption until the end of her life. During the occupation of the region by imperial troops in the course of the Danish-Lower Saxon War (1623–1629) , King Christian IV ordered him to leave the city with his family and seek exile in Zealand . After the Peace of Lübeck in 1629, he returned to Flensburg, where he died at the end of 1635.

family

On August 11, 1594, Dame married Margarethe Jacobsen, whose father Lorenz Jacobsen ( Latinized : Laurentius Jacobi) worked as a deacon in Flensburg. The couple had their sons Hinrich († June 12, 1676), who was pastor in Oeversee , Michael († July 26, 1629), who worked as pastor in Böel , and Laurentius (* 1599; † January 29, 1651), pastor in Esgrus . All sons were born in fishing.

In addition to their sons, the couple had five daughters, four of whom were pastors. It is worth mentioning Agathe († July 10, 1645), who married the pastor Johannes Breckling and who counted Johann Moller among her grandchildren.

Works

Dame wrote mostly about piety. In his late writing Vom alten und neue Menschen (Vom old and new people) it can be seen that Johann Arndt had a significant influence on him. Dame showed herself to be a Lutheran rejecting the worldly, who obviously had a lasting impact on his successor in office, Stephan Clotz .

In his writings, Dame partly dealt with dogmatics and, from his point of view, wrong theological theses. In a smaller work he dealt with the immortality of the rational soul, which went back to cryptocalvinism and persecuted followers at the Gottorf court. He dealt with the resurrection of the dead as a reply to Vice-Principal Jacob Neubauer. In 1625 Dame wrote the ceded relation with which he wanted to refute the spiritualistic views of Nikolaus Teting and Hartwig Lohmann .
