Georg Weigel
Georg Weigel (also: Weichel ; * July 13, 1594 in Merseburg ; † August 19, 1668 ibid) was a German Protestant theologian.
Life
The son of Johannes Weigel, a citizen of Merseburg, and his wife Martha, the daughter of the Meuschenmühle miller Salomon Möller, had lost their father in their early years. His mother remarried and, together with the stepfather, ensured a good upbringing. Since it was difficult for them to pay for the training costs, Weigel became a tutor in Merseburg. In 1613 he began studying at the University of Leipzig , where he acquired the basics of theological studies for two years. Financial bottlenecks forced him to take a private tutor position in Halle (Saale) in 1615 , where he worked as a preacher at the town and castle church. In 1620 he became pastor in Altenplathow , in 1630 a deacon, in 1637 archdeacon and in 1657 pastor and senior at the town church of St. Maximi in Merseburg.
