Heinrich Bangert (born March 20, 1610 in Sudeck , County of Waldeck , today part of the Diemelsee community ; † June 30, 1665 in Lübeck ) was a German scholar , philologist and historian of the Baroque era .

Life

Bangert attended the state school in Korbach . In 1633 and 1634 he studied Protestant theology in Marburg . Just one year later he was appointed vice-principal at the Ratsgymnasium Minden ; In 1636 he went to the Oldenburg grammar school as rector . Appointments as rector of Korbach in the same year and as pastor of Adorf in 1637, he declined.

In 1643 he was appointed vice rector of the Katharineum in Lübeck and was introduced to his office on July 24, 1643. Here he succeeded the late Sebastian Meier as rector on March 4, 1664 .

However, Bangert died on June 30, 1665 of the consequences of a broken leg that he suffered when he fell from a car on his return from Bad Pyrmont .

Bangert was not only highly honored by his contemporaries as a teacher, but also widely known as a well-known scholar, as his students Heinrich Meibom and Daniel Georg Morhof testified.

He has made lasting merit through his first edition of the Chronica Slavorum (Slavonic Chronicle) by Helmold von Bosau and Arnold von Lübeck (1659), which he organized with the support of the Lübeck Council , to which he also contributed a learned commentary.

Also on behalf of the council, Bangert began work on a comprehensive history of the Hanseatic city. His early death interrupted this project. The years up to 1350 appeared from the estate as Origines Lubecenses , which Ernst Joachim Westphal published in Volume 1 of his Monumenta inedita rerum Germanicarum praecipue Cimbricarum et Megapolensium (Leipzig 1739).

He also provided important preliminary work for the history of his school, such as a carefully laid out biographical directory of the rectors and teachers that Johann Henrich von Seelen printed in his school history Athenae Lubecenses , Volume IV.
