Friedrich Wilhelm Bierling (born March 22, 1676 in Magdeburg , † July 25, 1728 in Rinteln ) was a German Protestant theologian and critical historian .

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm was born as the only son of the Magdeburg doctor Caspar Theophil Bierling and his wife Sabine Elisabeth Leyser, the daughter of the Magdeburg pastor Friedrich Wilhelm Leyser . After initial private training and attending the Magdeburg Cathedral School, he attended the University of Leipzig from the summer semester of 1690 . Here Johann Benedikt Carpzov , Karl Andreas Redel (1664-1730), Christian Ludovici , Johann Schmid and Adam Rechenberg were his formative teachers. After he was on April 16, 1692 baccalaureate and on February 25, 1694 Magister of the philosophical sciences, he held there Hebrew and philological private lectures.

On May 30, 1697 Bierling left Leipzig to work in Rinteln from June 19 of the same year. At the University of Rinteln he received an extraordinary professorship in the philosophical faculty on November 11, 1700, became a full professor of philosophy in 1705 and switched to the chair of history and rhetoric in 1706, to which the professorship of politics was added in 1708. In 1712 he became pastor of the Lutheran congregation in Rinteln, to which he was confirmed on April 20 that year and ordained on May 5. On April 8, 1714 he was superintendent of the county of Schaumburg and assessor of the consistory. From 1716 he became professor of theology at the University of Rinteln, for which purpose he received his doctorate in theology at the University of Helmstedt in 1720 . He made a significant contribution to the heyday of the Rinteln University of Applied Sciences; as prorector he reported on the centenary of this university in 1721. He is included in the group of historical pyrrhonism .
