Life

Youth and education

Beneken attended the cathedral school in Verden and studied in Helmstedt and Göttingen . Subsequently (1789–1795) he was a private tutor in Hanover and during this time published together with GF Palm between 1790 and 1793 a scientific magazine for young people , 2 volumes (Helwingsche Hofbuchhandlung Hanover) and preparatory exercises for the academy for young people , 3 volumes (Weidemann, Leipzig ). He became pastor adjunct in Soltau in 1795 and was a preacher at Natendorf in the Lüneburg region from 1797 to 1803 . In 1801 Beneken published his essay Athanasios, or attempt on the freedom and persistence of man in death (Göttingen) and belonged to the duke. German. Society in Helmstedt as an honorary member. From 1803 to 1818 he was a preacher in Nienhagen near Celle .

Private school

In Nienhagen, Beneken probably ran a private school (a so-called "boys' institute"), at which Johann Heinrich Christian Fricke (born January 16, 1784 in Drütte ; † July 20, 1871 in Idensen ), pastor in Idensen from 1844–1871, around 1808 –1813 worked as a teacher.

Criticism of Teuto

In 1817, Jacob Grimm expressed himself critically in the Heidelberg Yearbooks of Literature about Beneken's otherwise highly regarded publication Teuto, or original names of the Germans collected and explained (Erlangen 1816):

Apart from any other usage, the history of our language also requires a thorough and detailed work on German proper names. Much preparatory work is already available, namely since the sixteenth century from Aventine and Luther to Wiarda, in which, however, the true sources are seldom and incomplete. The present book, the 411 pages of which could have contained many a hardworking and learned person, is, however, again extremely mediocre and has neither been able to get hold of the material nor to treat it happily.
Anyone who wants to do a similar job must first be familiar with old German grammar. Mr. Beneken is not this, however, of which the proof follows: he has pages 206-211 printed (quite unnecessary for his purpose) the text of an old confession from Lambek and provides translation and comments. It is very likely that Carl the Great should have written it (!) Or made use of it, because whoever else would have dared to provoke the imperial succession (this scholarly affection in style has turned out badly, because abulgi is not a fem., But a neutr.) and to portray Carl's vice during his lifetime. But whoever reads through the confession at the top, immediately sees that it is a general formula suitable for all sinners and not at all individualizing the emperor, many of which are printed in Latin and German. With this little piece, which has already been translated several times, Mr. B. huge speech defects. From bigihtic (consitens) the root is said to be gihu, to confess. But the infinitive is gehan (not even gihan), and that gihu is the first person in the present tense, consiteor. Instead of Mrs. Maria be a virgin, but for the old language one can only say the opposite. From Frau be the Celtic ffraw the tribe! Even more incomprehensible, our word swan and swan should come from the old suahan (to seek).
