Georg Stampelius
Georg Stampelius or Georgius Stampelius , ( Latinized from Georg Stampel ; born November 16, 1561 in Salzwedel , † February 19, 1622 in Lübeck ) was a German Lutheran theologian and superintendent in Lübeck.
Live and act
After studying theology in Wittenberg, Helmstedt, Tübingen and Rostock, Stampelius became professor for oriental languages and temporarily rector at the University of Frankfurt (Oder) . In addition to exegetical studies, he also dealt with chronology .
In 1611 he was called to Lübeck as pastor of the Petrikirche . When Christoph Butelius from Stettin , who had just been appointed superintendent, died in the same year , Stampelius became superintendent in his place and, after an eleven-year vacancy, succeeded the pugnacious Andreas Pouchenius the Elder. J.
After the course of consistent Lutheran confessionalization of the city, which was continued under Pouchenius, and the disputes connected with it, the situation was calmer under Stampelius.
However, because of his more tolerant stance, such as the settlement of Dutch Calvinists in the city, in 1613/14 there was a violent argument with his colleague at St. Mary's Church, Anton Burchard , who rejected any fellowship between Lutherans and Reformed people as a “sin”. Despite the strong support that Burchard enjoyed from his colleagues, Stampelius succeeded in 1614 in having him deposed by the council as the owner of the sovereign church regiment and expelled from the city.
Together with the rector of the Katharineum Johann Kirchmann and the mayor Alexander Lüneburg , Stampelius is one of the founders of the city library (Lübeck) , which united the books of the town hall, the school and several churches.
His daughter married the pastor Johannes Reiche (1587–1648).
