Georg Friedrich Laurentius (1647)

Georg Friedrich Laurentius (born March 11, 1594 in Lübben ; † February 1, 1673 in Lübeck ) was a doctor, pharmacist and specialist journalist.

Life

family

It is known that Georg Friedrich Laurentius' father was a doctor. His name is not mentioned, but there are indications that it is the Lübben doctor and pharmacist and later clergyman Georg Laurentius († 1595). Johann Georg Laurentius , a brother of Georg Friedrich, was after he also first practiced in Leipzig , in the 30s of the 17th century personal physician to the Duke of Holstein-Gottorf and later physicist of Lübeck .

Laurentius married the Hamburg merchant's daughter Margarethe Arnson († 1650) in 1639 . The marriage produced at least one son:

  • Ewaldus Laurentius , curator in Stade , ⚭ Gertrud Elisabeth Matthaei (1676–1694)

Career

Lawrence visited in 1611, the school in Görlitz and then studied in Wittenberg and then in Padua , where he in 1620 to Dr. phil. et med. received his doctorate . Then he settled in Danzig as a practicing doctor. Due to the war , he left Danzig in 1623 and first went to Leipzig , from where he finally settled in Hamburg in 1632 for the same reason . In the year of his arrival he got into a technical dispute with his colleague Ebelingk, which resulted in a protracted hostility to his Padua fellow student Dr. Bernhard Langwedel and is accompanied by numerous pamphlets and diatribes . Essentially, however, it was about rankings that Laurentius , not uncommon, derived from the time of his doctorate, but Langwedel , who had already practiced in Hamburg for a long time, wanted to justify this. Directly as a result of the dispute, Laurentius left Hamburg for two years from 1636 to 1638. In the meantime, the Hamburg Senate had stipulated in a decree that the ranking according to the date of the doctorate should be taken into account. However, the dispute between the opposing parties did not end with this regulation, but continued from 1647 at the latest on allegations of plagiarism against Langwedel . It was not until 1648, when Laurentius became personal physician to the Crown Princess of Denmark , that the dispute subsided. After the widowed Crown Princess was remarried, Laurentius became King Friedrich III's personal physician . After saying goodbye in 1663, he lived as a private citizen in Lübeck until his death.
