Georg Gotze

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Götze also: Goeze, Goezius, Goez (born June 11, 1633 in Wichmar ; † April 3, 1699 in Jena ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Georg was the son of the chef of the same name with Baron von Schenk von Tautenberg and his wife Justina Rivinus (Bachmann). At the age of ten he came to the school in Naumburg where Johann Sebastian Midnight was the principal. At midnight in 1642 he moved to the Ruthenum grammar school in Gera , where the vice-principal Valentin Berger (1620–1675) also became his teacher. He followed the latter to Halle, where Paul Röber encouraged him to study theology. So in February 1652 he moved to the University of Jena , where he initially studied philosophical sciences with Daniel Stahl , Philipp Horst (1574–1664), Paul Slevogt , Johann Zeisold , Johann Frischmuth and Erhard Weigel . After he had acquired the academic degree of a Magister in Philosophy and was appointed Poeta laureatus in 1656, in 1656 he took over the position of private tutor for the three sons of the ducal Weimar privy councilor Rudolph Wilhelm Krause (born April 8, 1612 in Naumburg; † January 30, 1689 in Weimar ).

With his eldest son of the same name, he returned to the University of Jena . Here he pursued theological studies with Johannes Musaeus , Christian Chemnitz , Johann Ernst Gerhard and Sebastian Niemann . In addition, he also participated in the lectures at the Jena University. In 1661 he became an adjunct of the philosophical faculty and in 1665 professor of ethics and politics. As such, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semester of 1667 . After he had obtained a licentiate in theology in 1672, he was the first pastor to go to the Erfurt Predigerkirche . On September 23, 1681 he took over the first pastor's office at the Hildesheim St. Andrew's Church , as well as the local superintendent. In 1684 he moved back to Jena, where he was first pastor of St. Michaelis Church, general superintendent, church councilor and court preacher. Suffering from an ulcer, he eventually died and was buried on April 7, 1699.

Individual evidence

  1. It is often written that his place of birth was Frauenprießnitz, Jöcher indicates Wichmar, which corresponds to his designation of origin in the registers of the University of Jena and the indication of the origin of some works (Wichmaria).
