Life
Gerhard Heinrich Jacobjan Stöckhardt received home tuition from his father, the clergyman Johann Gottrau Stöckhardt in Schwepnitz, before he attended grammar school in Bautzen from 1787 at the age of 15 . His interest in the Italian language, which was to become his lifelong favorite pastime, was aroused during his school days. From Easter 1791 he studied theology, philosophy and philology at the University of Leipzig . Although he had actually planned to do his habilitation in philosophy, linguistics and art theory and to embark on an academic career, in 1794 he took up a position as private tutor with Count Karl Heinrich von Schönburg in Glauchau . The von Schönburg family lived in Dresden for several months each year , where Stöckhardt was able to further develop his language skills in dealing with Italians living there. By Girolamo Tiraboschi he was in 1794 with publication of his first Italian publication already a member of the "società de 'Volschi".
In 1798 he was given the post of archdeacon in Glauchau and in 1804 he became second pastor at St. Petri in Bautzen. In addition to his work as a clergyman, he emerged in Bautzen as a poet and scholar with numerous publications, including a German-Italian dictionary, which had several editions since 1801. In 1826 his Bautzen hymn book was published under the title Collection of old and new sacred songs . Stöckhardt had been a member of the Upper Lusatian Society of Sciences since 1826 . He died of the long-term consequences of a fall in 1829 the following year.
Heinrich Robert Stöckhardt and Ernst Theodor Stöckhardt are his sons.
