Friedrich Wilhelm year

Friedrich Wilhelm Jahr (born March 13, 1707 in Goßmar , † December 31, 1755 in Wittenberg ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Friedrich Wilhelm Jahr was born in 1707 as the son of the pastor and superintendent in Sonnewalde Johann Georg Jahr and his wife Anna Maria (née Lehmann from Baruth). He received his first lessons from his father and private tutors. He then attended school in Luckau from 1720 and the grammar school in Bautzen from 1725 . On April 30, 1727, he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg , where he acquired the academic degree of Master of Philosophy on April 29, 1730 . After he had acquired the permission to read for university as Magister Legens on February 24, 1731, he was accepted as an adjunct at the philosophical faculty of the Wittenberg University on October 5, 1736 .

After he had been dean of the institution there in the winter semester of 1740/41 and had a hard time getting a professorship at the Wittenberg Academy, he went to Jessen in 1741 as a substitute for the superintendent and became pastor and superintendent there in 1742 . In order to be able to fulfill his duties in this office, he received his doctorate in Wittenberg on October 5, 1744 as licentiate and on November 29, 1744 as a doctor of theology. In 1755 he took over the fourth theological professorship in Wittenberg and thus administered the electoral scholarship holders. However, he was not granted long-term effectiveness, as he died in his first year.
