Life

Georg Adam Struve was the son of Bartholomäus Struve , heir to Wanzleben and Möllenvoigt of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg (born February 4, 1588 in Cramme ; † February 15, 1650 in Magdeburg), and Anna Margaretha Brunner (born September 26, 1598 in Schleusingen; † August 24, 1669 in Magdeburg). Her ancestors were councilors in Eger in the paternal line.

Initially, Georg Adam was trained by a private teacher, then attended school in Magdeburg and in 1630 went to high school in Schleusingen . At the age of 17 he enrolled on June 11, 1636 at the University of Jena for philosophy , history and law . Here he attended the lectures at the Philosophical Faculty of Philipp Horst, Daniel Stahl, Johann Zeisold and Johann Michael Dillherr. He then attended classes at the law faculty with Dominicus Arumäus, Peter Theodericus, Erasmus Ungebauer and Ortholph Timann. In 1641 he moved to the University of Helmstedt , where Conrad Hornejus, Hermann Conring and Heinrich Hahn became his teachers.

After successfully completing his studies, he was appointed assessor at the Schöffenstuhl in Halle / Saale in 1645 .

In the following year Struve obtained his doctorate in law in Helmstedt and on December 12, 1646 accepted a professorship in Jena . In 1647 he was appointed as an assessor at the court court . Stuve also took part in the organizational tasks of the Salana. He was dean of the law faculty fourteen times and in the summer semesters 1650 and 1656 rector of the alma mater . The city of Braunschweig appointed him to the city council in 1661. After more than twenty years of teaching, he was promoted to court counselor in Weimar in 1667 and in 1672 he was promoted to the secret council of the dukes of Saxe-Weimar . From 1674 Struve again held a law professorship at the University of Jena as a full professor of the law faculty. As a professor he was entrusted in 1680 with the control and overall management of the guardianship government , the consistorial presidium and the directorate of taxation. At the age of 73, Prof. Georg Adam Struve died on December 15, 1692 in Jena.
