Friedrich Wiedeburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wiedeburg , also Friedrich Wideburg , (born March 14, 1708 in Hamburg , † March 24, 1758 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German rhetorician , historian and constitutional lawyer .

Life

Wiedeburg, the son of the sub-principal at the Johannesschule, had learned mainly from his father in the first years of his life. This had prepared him for an academic career at an early stage. From the age of ten he attended the learned school of the Johanneum , where he was made familiar with history and geography primarily by the then rector Johann Hübner (1668–1731). At the age of 16 he moved to the Academic Gymnasium , where he spent another three years and acquired the skills in the philosophical sciences to be able to attend a university.

Professors Michael Richey (1678–1761), Johann Christoph Wolf (1683–1739) and Johann Albert Fabricius (1668–1736) prepared him here , so that in 1717 he could move into the University of Halle . Following his intuition, he wanted to study law and political science. So were Justus Henning Böhmer and Nicolaus Hieronymus Gundling here his formative teacher. After completing his training, he returned to Hamburg in 1730 and made a few small trips. These took him back to Halle, where he received his doctorate in law in 1731 . Although he was proposed as his successor in the professorship of rhetoric after the death of Gundling, he received only an extraordinary professorship of philosophy and rhetoric on March 17, 1731 .

However, in 1733 he had obtained a master's degree in philosophy and became a full professor of philosophy on August 11th that same year. In that office he was given the ephoric over the Magdeburg Free Tables in 1737 and the full professorship of rhetoric in 1745. Wiedeburg also took part in the organizational tasks of the Halle University and was prorector of the Alma Mater in 1746/47 . On September 19, 1731, he married Maria Sophie († August 1750), the daughter of the syndic of the University of Ernst Heinrich Knorre (1668-1725), the widow of the associate professor of the law faculty Konrad Friedrich Reinhard (1692-1728) . Thus he had become a brother-in-law of Karl Gottlieb Knorre .

Act

Wiedeburg, who became known as the biographer Johann Peter von Ludewig , had also made a name for himself in German constitutional law through the history of German constitutional law. Yet in the history of history, if measured only in detail and with indulgent judgment, he was not a prolific researcher. It is thanks to him that the fable of Ludwig the Springer was refuted. In his lectures, in addition to general and German history of the empire, in addition to the last three centuries, he also presented Roman antiquities and, following Johann Gottlieb Heineccius, taught the Latin style. He had also offered exercises in the field of classical literature. After all, he held a respected position at the university until his death in 1758, only that, like the rest of history, he was unable to give new strength to research and teaching.
