Gottfried Vockerodt

Gottfried Vockerodt (born September 24, 1665 in Mühlhausen / Thuringia , † October 10, 1727 in Gotha ) was a German educator.

Life

Gottfried was the son of Antoniusmüller and councilor Sebastian Vockerodt and his wife Judith Stieler, who was married on May 31, 1654, and the daughter of Mühlhausen councilor Sebastian Stieler. He received his first training from his brother and private tutor. At the age of five he became a student of the grammar school in Mühlhausen, which he left on June 23, 1683 with the farewell speech de scholis valedicendo, with the predicate summa cum laude. On August 18, 1683, he enrolled at the University of Jena , where, after studying philosophy, on October 31, 1685, he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy.

He then held lectures in Jena, and on November 26, 1689, he received the post of vice principal at the grammar school in Halle (Saale) , where he made the acquaintance of August Hermann Francke from 1692 . On July 24, 1693, he became vice principal at the Illustre grammar school in Gotha, where he took over the rectorate on December 1, 1694, which he held until 1727. In Gotha he became a pioneer of pietism and had to endure many hostilities from the representatives of Lutheran orthodoxy. His lifelong accumulated library was auctioned after his death on June 18, 1729, for which an overview catalog appeared in print.

His first marriage was on May 26, 1691 in Halle (Saale) with Helena Elisabeth Stützing (born November 20, 1674 - February 23, 1699 in Gotha), the daughter of the council clerk and Pfänner in Halle Johann Gotthilf Stützing.
