Georg Haccius, copper engraving (1673)

Georg Hacke (also Latinized : Haccius , born August 30, 1626 in Uthleben , † April 12, 1684 in Hamburg ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Born as the son of pastor Wilhelm Haccius (1593–1673), he studied theology at the University of Jena . He then worked as a private tutor in Minden and continued his studies at the University of Rostock . Haccius became vice principal at the school in Minden in 1648 and pastor at the Marienkirche there in 1661. In 1666 he gained at the University of Rinteln the licentiate in theology. On November 15, 1669 he was elected as pastor at the St. Marien-Magdalenenkirche in Hamburg and introduced on December 20. In 1670 he was also appointed pastor at the spinning and penitentiary. Through the warm recommendation of Abraham Calov , he was elected on March 7, 1680 as the main pastor at St. Michaelis Church , where he was introduced on March 23 by the highest Hamburg Protestant church representative, Senior David Klug .

Haccius had to fend off many challenges within his own ranks in Hamburg. They even gave him enthusiasm before, which in the eyes of Lutheran orthodoxy of heresy equaled. Only with a report from the theological faculty of the University of Kiel could he refute this assumption.

On February 15, 1684, the "Great Elector" Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg appointed him consistorial councilor in Minden. However, he could no longer work in this office because he died shortly afterwards.

In 1654 he married Katharina Elisabeth Heise in Minden. 16 children are said to have resulted from this marriage.
