Life
Friedrich Pentzlin was born in 1796 on the Beidendorf estate near Wismar. His father was the "heir and lieutenant" Martin Jakob Pentzlin (1752-1807) - a former dragoon officer who made a career in Java. His mother was Sophie Friedrike Amtsberg (the daughter of Pastor Joachim A. (1720–1782) in Kummerow; his nephew, Pastor Johann August A., called himself "von Amsberg "). The mother (1754–1797) died soon after his birth; he lost his father when he was eleven. So he was brought up by his pastoral relatives in Kummerow and was supposed to do a business apprenticeship.
Friedrich P. took part in the campaign against Napoleon at the age of 19 (" Wars of Liberation 1813-15") - as a volunteer hunter in the Queen Dragoons detachment and second lieutenant in the 21st Infantry Regiment with the Rittmeister (and later hereditary chamberlain) Freiherr von Eickstedt (his Superior in Prussian service). After the war he got to know the baron and bon vivant Eugen von Vaerst in the Mainz garrison - in the house of Baroness von Fechenbach - and often visited him in Berlin. In Berlin he met the general doctor Karl von Graefe , the father of the famous ophthalmologist Albrecht G. At that time, Friedrich P. looked perplexed into the future and did not know what to become. Gräfe awakened the idea of becoming a doctor in him and so he studied medicine from 1822 and received his doctorate in Greifswald in 1825. Among other things, he dedicated his dissertation to his botanist professor Christian Friedrich Hornschuch , in whose house he met Adelbert von Chamisso . After obtaining his doctorate, he passed his state examination in Rostock in 1826, became a general practitioner in Wismar, and from 1826 also a doctor for the poor, then a doctor at the city hospital, grand ducal medical officer and police doctor.
Friedrich Pentzlin married in Wismar in 1829 Henriette Sophie Kneser (* Wismar March 18, 1804, † Wismar January 22, 1832), the daughter of the businessman Christoph Martin K. (and Henriette Rose, daughter of the Senator Christian Rose). She died in 1832 at the age of only 26. Her sisters Charlotte and Luise Kneser were married to the physicist Johann Christian Poggendorff and the rector Caesar Frege (uncle of the mathematician Gottlob Frege ). His second wife was Marie Charlotte Hennriette Anders (* Wismar June 18, 1805, * Wismar December 4, 1882), the daughter of the Kommerzienrat Jakob Heinrich A. and Christine Schultesius.
Inspired by his time in Mainz and Greifswald, Friedrich Pentzlin was also active as a writer. He edited the Baltische Blüthen für Geist und Herz (1836/37) published in Wismar , then the Deutsche Blätter , which were provided with a literature and correspondence sheet . His polemic Molierus redivivus. He wrote a letter to Doctor Krüger-Hansen in Güstrow in 1836 , in which he dealt with Bogislav Conrad Krüger-Hansen .
Friedrich Pentzlin was a Freemason from the "Zur Vaterlandsliebe" lodge in Wismar. After a long illness from Medical Councilor Friedrich Crull , the previous 1st overseer, Dr. med. Pentzlin, elected master by the chair . He died on March 18, 1870.
His son Julius Pentzlin (* Wismar June 26, 1837, † Hagenow March 13, 1917) became a teacher and pastor. He was first a teacher in Parchim and Teterow, then prepositus with the title of Church Council in Hagenow .
