Gottlieb Stolle

Gottlieb Stolle also: Leander von Schlesien (born February 3, 1673 in Liegnitz ; † March 4, 1744 in Jena ) was a German universal scholar .

Life

Gottlieb was a son of councilor Johann Stolle and his wife Anna Maria Dompig. He was the twelfth of thirteen children. After attending the school in Liegnitz, in 1691 he attended the Elisabethgymnasium in Breslau , which was under the direction of the rector Martin Hanke . In the same year he switched to the Maria-Magdalenen-Gymnasium , where Christian Gryphius had a lasting influence on the young people. In February 1693 he left the educational institution in order, after a short stay at home, to go to the University of Leipzig at Easter 1693 . His father wanted him to study theology, but decided to study law. After attending lectures with Gottlieb Gerhard Titius and Adam Rechenberg , he lost interest in law and devoted himself to poetry and literature. Among other things, he came into contact with the writings of Christian Thomasius and idly continued his law studies. After a few years he left Leipzig in 1695 to take a position as private tutor in Schweidnitz .

In 1696 he returned to his hometown, where he devoted himself to legal practice. However, this phase of his life did not last long either, so he became the tutor of the son of a councilor in Breslau , whom he taught for three years and also pursued his own studies. A controversial theological poets' dispute caused him to leave Breslau in 1700. After a short stay in Liegnitz, he traveled via Leipzig to the University of Halle . In Halle he met Thomasius personally, he also made the acquaintance of the lawyer Samuel Stryk , the historian Christoph Cellarius and the theologian Johann Franz Buddeus . In 1703 the proposal was made to him to accompany a young nobleman on his information journey, which offer he accepted. On April 24, 1703, he began this educational journey with Johann Ferdinand von Hallmenfeld and his cousin Georg Theophil Hallmann. That took them via Magdeburg, Helmstedt, Braunschweig, Wolfenbüttel, Hanover, Hamburg, Bremen, Emden, Groningen, Franeker, Amsterdam, Leiden , The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht , Wesel, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Giessen, Marburg, Kassel , Gotha, Erfurt, Weimar, Jena, Leipzig, Berlin, Frankfurt an der Oder until they returned to Halle at Easter 1704.

When Buddeus received a professorship in theology at the University of Jena in 1705 , Stolle followed this on May 26, 1705. In Jena, he participated in the lectures at the university and intended to acquire the academic degree of a master’s degree. Since he was not a child of the country, the doctoral costs were too high for him. So in 1707 he returned to Halle, where he made the acquaintance of the philosopher Christian Wolff and found accommodation in the house of Johann Peter von Ludewig . After he had expanded his financial possibilities a little, he returned to Jena. Here he held private lectures for some time until he had collected the doctoral costs in 1709 and he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy in Jena in the same year. In 1710, as a Magister Legens, he acquired the right to hold lectures. After he wrote various treatises and had various successes as a teacher, he was appointed on February 3, 1714 as an adjunct at the philosophical faculty of the Salana. On March 21, 1714, he accepted a call as rector of the grammar school in Hildburghausen , which he began with a speech on April 5 of that year, at the inauguration of the same.

After some time at this educational institution, he was appointed Professor of Politics at the Jena University of Applied Sciences on November 13, 1717, which he complied with on November 20 of the same year and took up the position with the speech "An attempt at spiritual morality". From 1720 he participated in the reorganization of the university library in Jena and wrote prestigious works. When in 1729 the lovers of the German language in Jena united with the Teutsche Gesellschaft in Leipzig, he became the chairman of the German society in 1730. In 1738 he became the inspector of the Jena University Library, its senior librarian, and in 1742 he was also appointed professor of moral philosophy in Jena. In addition, Stolle also participated in the organizational tasks of the Salana. He was dean of the philosophical faculty a few times and rector of the alma mater in the summer semesters of 1730 and 1740 . Suffering from the effects of a catarrh , he eventually passed away.

Stolle is counted among the early enlighteners of his time. With his reference works on the history of law, medicine, theology and philosophy, he inspired subsequent generations. Surely these have hardly any useful value today. However, he is remembered as a poet of his time.
