Gottschalk Kirchring (lawyer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gottschalk Kirchring , also Gottschalck , von Kirchring (* May 2 or May 3, 1663 in Lübeck ; † May 3, 1691 ibid) was a German lawyer.

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. He was the son of Heinrich Kerkring (1627–1692), who was accepted into the circle society in 1656 , and his wife Anna (1638–1674), a daughter of Gottschalk von Wickede , widowed Warendorp .

From May 1683 he studied law at the University of Jena , together with his cousin Woldemar von Kirchring (Volmar, * 1663). In 1686 he was the respondent to a disputation under imperial law chaired by Nikolaus Christoph Lyncker on the definition of the imperial districts . Significantly, it is not listed on the title page as Lubecensis (Lübecker) , as it is in the register , but as Nobil. Saxo. , as a nobleman from the (Lower) Saxon Empire . This reflects the new self-image of the patrician families of Lübeck, who withdrew from the political life of the city after the constitutional reforms of the 1660s, the cash court process and the citizen recession, and a life as Holstein country nobles under the protection of the emperor and the Danish king (as Duke of Holstein ) led. At the same time Woldemar responded to a disputation, also at Lyncker, on the form and status of the Holy Roman Empire , which he dedicated to Duke Johann Adolf (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön) .

Gottschalk Kirchring died unmarried in 1691.

timeline

Gottschalk Kirchring's name is linked to a compilation of Lübeck chronicles up to 1663, which appeared in Hamburg at the end of 1677 under his name and that of his cousin Gottschalk Müller, the son of the imperial resident Heinrich Adrian Müller on Mori, and was reprinted in 1678.

Since he was only 14 years old at that time and his cousin was about the same age, the (unknown) common informator of the two must be considered the actual author. The historical value of this uncritical hard work, characterized by Carl Henrich Dreyer as a children's chronicle, has since been considered low; Ernst Deecke thought it was “quite useful for an overview”. It can certainly be classified in the efforts of the Lübeck patriciate in the 1660s to historically legitimize and thus defend its traditional privileges.

Ever since Johann Moller's Cimbria Litterata and, following him, Christian Gottlieb Jöcher , Gottschalk Kirchring has been confused with his younger cousin, Canon Gottschalk Kirchring (1672–1719) in Dunkelsdorf , when it comes to authorship. In Heinrich Wilhelm Rotermund's continuations and addenda , there was also a mixture with the mayor Gotthard Kerkring , who died in 1705 , which was continued and consolidated in Johann Heinrich Stepf's gallery of all legal authors from the oldest to the present .
