Georg Petermann
Georg Petermann (born March 19, 1710 in Pukanec , † December 16, 1792 in Dresden ) was a German Protestant theologian .
Life
The son of the furrier Daniel Petermann († after 1752) was baptized and initially educated by the Catholic Church because there were no Protestant clergymen and churches in his place of birth. But then his parents let him attend Protestant schools in Bohnwitz and Banská Štiavnica . From May 1728 he attended a grammar school in Bratislava and in 1733 moved to the University of Halle .
Petermann spent the next year in Berlin, where he became a preacher with the local Bohemian-Lutheran congregation , on condition that he return to Halle in the same year to continue his studies. After the end of the year he wanted to go back, but had found patrons in Berlin and loved the community. So he finally stayed there until 1738 and was ordained in Leipzig on March 24th . He then became a preacher in Gebhardsdorf and , a quarter of a year later, finally a pastor at Uhyst . In July 1741 he went to Vetschau / Spreewald as archdeacon .
In 1746 the Bohemian Berlin Congregation called him again as their preacher, but Petermann refused and instead became Bohemian and German preacher in Dresden the following year . He also became a senior in the Ministry of Spirituality there. In this position he died in 1792 at the age of 82.
