Georg Friedrich Hammer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Friedrich Hammer (born May 5, 1694 in Eilenburg , † February 3, 1751 in Rabenau ) was a German theologian , writer and historian .

Life

Hammer was born in Eilenburg an der Mulde as the son of Georg Friedrich Hammer (1656–1710), the deacon of the same name of the Eilenburg mountain church , who came from Silesia . From 1708 he attended the Kreuzschule in Dresden . After the early death of his father, however, he soon became dependent on various benefactors who offered him board and lodging. He studied first in Leipzig (1713-1715), then in Wittenberg . He finally completed his studies with a master's degree and was initially a tutor.

In 1727 he married the eldest daughter of the mayor of Eilenburg and took on the vacant position of a deacon in Elsterwerda . After having had some spiritual writings printed before, he dealt with local history and wrote Elsterwerdensia, the first handwritten chronicle of the city, the original of which is now in the Leipzig University Library . In 1731 he went to Rabenau at the foot of the Osterzgebirge and was pastor there until the end of his life in 1751.
