Gotthilf Treuer
Gotthilf Treuer (born February 11, 1632 in Beeskow / Mark Brandenburg, † March 20, 1711 in Frankfurt (Oder) ) was a German poet and poet of the Baroque period .
Life
The son of the Beeskow mayor of the same name was more loyal. He studied theology at the University of Frankfurt (Oder) and at the age of twenty took up the position of sub-vice-principal under Michael Schirmer at the Berlin Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster . In 1660 he took over the diaconate in his home town of Beeskow , and in 1672 he became a preacher at the Lower Church in Frankfurt (Oder). In the following year he was appointed to the upper church, where from 1672 he spent the rest of his life as archdeacon.
Treuer's numerous occasional poems exist only in individual prints and were never collected. His almost 2000-page collection of German Daedalus quotes enjoyed great popularity among contemporaries and was recommended by August Buchner for aspiring poets. Johann Rist took him under the name <Fidelidor> in the Elbschwanenorden on.
