Friedrich Dedekind
Friedrich Dedekind (* 1524/ 1525 in Neustadt am Rübenberge , † 27. February 1598 in Lüneburg ) was a German theologian and writer.
Life
From 1543 Dedekind studied theology in Marburg , then from 1549 in Wittenberg , where he was supported by Philipp Melanchthon . After receiving his master's degree in 1550, he became pastor in Neustadt in 1553, and in Lüneburg in 1575 pastor at Michaeliskirche and inspector of the churches of the dioceses of Lübeck and Verden . His main work "Grobianus" (1549) gave its name to the brutishism . It was translated into German Knittelverse by Caspar Scheidt and published in 1551 under the title Grobianus. Of rude manners and rude gestures . Scheidt later created a female counterpart to Grobianus ( Grobiana ), both parts appeared in 1572 as Grobianus et Grobiana . In addition, Dedekind emerged as a playwright. In later years he was called several times as a mediator of theological disputes on questions of the understanding of the Lord's Supper within Protestantism.
Dedekind was married to Juliana Cordus (1528–1577), daughter of Euricius Cordus, an important epigrammatist, botanist and doctor, and Kunigunde Dünnwald.
Theologians, composers, mathematicians and writers have emerged from this marriage over many generations.
