Friedrich Wilhelm Strieder

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Wilhelm Strieder (born March 12, 1739 in Rinteln , † October 13, 1815 in Kassel ) was a German librarian, lexicographer and historian.

Life

The son of the university bookseller Nicolaus Strieder and his wife Dorothee Elisabeth (née Hellermann, from Minden), daughter of a printer, initially attended school in his hometown. At the age of 13, on October 20, 1752, he moved to the University of Rinteln to study theology. He heard the lectures of Johann Nicolaus Funck in Latin and Geography, Justus Chrysander in Logic, Friedrich Wilhelm Pestel in Metaphysics and Ethics, Gottfried Schwarz in Dogmatic Theology, Hebrew Analytics and Church History, Balthasar Ludwig Eskuche (1710–1755) in Greek and Johann Jakob Plitt in homiletics, but without having sufficient previous training.

Therefore, he left the university in 1758 and was recruited as a soldier for the Hessian regiment Mansbach. In 1765 he took his leave as an ensign, was a tax collector for a short time and on December 13 of the same year was given the position of registrar at the library in Kassel. After the death of Landgrave Friedrich II of Hessen-Kassel had put an end to the unscrupulous activities of Marquis Jean-Louis Barbot de Luchet , who had also managed the library to its great detriment from 1776, Strieder became the Appointed council and real first librarian.

Landgrave Wilhelm IX. valued Strieder for his conscientiousness and appointed him court counselor and court librarian in 1788, and also secret cabinet archivist in 1790 when he set up these institutes at Weissenstein Castle . During the French rule from 1806 to 1813, Strieder is said not to have taken a step out of his house out of hatred of the occupation. In 1808 he was dismissed from his offices. He saw the return of his beloved elector, who on January 18, 1814, again made him head of the Kassel library as well as the library and the secret cabinet archive in Wilhelmshöhe.

Strieder's marriage to Wilhelmine Sophie, the daughter of Captain Gerlach Tschakermann, on March 20, 1766, remained childless.
