Gottschalk Kirchring (born May 7, 1672 in Lübeck ; † June 5, 1719 there ) was a German canon .

Life

Gottschalk Kirchring came from the old Lübeck council family Kerkring , of which several members had acquired estates in the Lübeck area in the 17th century and placed themselves under the protection of the Danish king. He was the tenth child of Johann Kirchring (* 1623) on Dunkelsdorf and his wife Hildegard, nee. Warendorp .

Already at the age of 8 he received on February 8, 1681 possession of the canon office in the Lübeck cathedral chapter of Johann Warendorp (1608–1680), who died the year before, on presentation of Johann Berend von Warendorp as patron of the Warendorpschen prebende . From 1691 he studied at the University of Jena .

In the election of bishops after the death of Prince-Bishop August Friedrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf in 1705, which was accompanied by a military conflict and at Christmas 1705 by the siege and occupation of Eutin Castle by the Danes, Kirchring belonged to the ultimately defeated party in the chapter, who supported the Danish coadjutor , Prince Carl of Denmark (born October 26, 1680, † August 8, 1729), a younger brother of the Danish King Frederick IV . However, through diplomatic intervention by Queen Anne of England and the States General and after the assurance of a pension, the latter was forced to give up his claim, so that Christian August von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf , the candidate of the Gothenburg party, which was allied with Sweden , could succeed. The dispute was finally settled only after the conclusion of the Altranstädter Convention , when Christian August was enfeoffed with the Lübeck Monastery by the Emperor in 1709 .

In 1718 he acquired a family grave in the north transept of Lübeck Cathedral ; the grave slab was decorated with the coat of arms of the Kerkring family.

Ever since Johann Moller's Cimbria Litterata and, following him, Christian Gottlieb Jöcher , Gottschalk Kirchring has been confused with his somewhat older relatives of the same name, Gottschalk Kirchring (lawyer) (1663–1691), regarding the authorship of an overview of Lübeck's chronicles published in Hamburg in 1677. In Heinrich Wilhelm Rotermund's continuations and addenda to this, there was also a mix with the mayor Gotthard Kerkring, who died in 1705 .
