Portrait of Georg Raphels in the Johanniskirche Lüneburg

Georg Raphel attended the Elisabethanisches Gymnasium in Breslau from 1688 and the Academic Gymnasium in Hamburg for five years from 1691 . From Easter 1695 he studied at the University of Rostock , where he received his doctorate in the winter semester 1695/1696 as a Master of Arts in the Faculty of Philosophy and stayed for six years. In 1702 he was appointed Conrector at the Johanneum Lüneburg until he succeeded Johann Christopher Jauch as pastor at St. Nicolai in 1714 . In 1721 he was elected pastor at Hamburg Cathedral ; Since the right to appoint this pastor was disputed between the cathedral chapter and the Hamburg council, he did not accept this appointment. In 1725 he became superintendent in Lüneburg , also as Jauch's successor . In 1727 he received another call to Hamburg, this time to the main church Sankt Petri . He also refused this call and stayed in Lüneburg. In addition to numerous of his own writings, he also produced translations.

In 1703 Raphel married a daughter of the Mecklenburg councilor Neubaur and had six children with her, three of whom were deaf and dumb and required his special care in their upbringing; his publication on education for the deaf and dumb was reissued in the 19th century. His eldest son, the Magister Johann Georg Raphel, also studied in Rostock and became rector in Zellerfeld . His daughter Anna Margarethe married the philologist Konrad Arnold Schmid in 1747 .
