Life
Heinrich Caspar Münzenberger was the son of a craftsman. From 1774 he attended the Katharineum in Lübeck . As early as 1779 he was giving private lessons in the house of the cantor Johann Hermann Schnobel . He became part of the choir led by Schnobel until his father forbade him to do so after a year because he saw his son's morality at risk . In 1783 the Primaner left his parents' house in order to earn something in addition to attending school in a wealthy family by looking after their children.
In 1785 and 1786 he gained his first preaching experience in the Mori manor chapel . From autumn 1786 he studied Protestant theology at the University of Jena and from 1789 at the University of Göttingen . On June 29, 1791 he returned briefly to Lübeck and then went to an uncle in St. Petersburg , where he stayed for three months and occasionally preached in the St. Petri Church (St. Petersburg) . Immediately after his return he became tutor in the family of Senator Nicolaus Binder and in early 1792 a candidate for the Ministry of Spirituality . With the death of Binder in 1799 he lost this position. After a time as a teacher at a private boys' institute , he was appointed preacher and third deacon at St. Jakobi on January 8, 1801 as the successor to the late Pastor Bruns . He held this office for over 30 years. His special interests were school inspection and poor relief . After the experience of the French period in Lübeck , he placed peace and reconciliation at the center of his sermons .
From 1792 he was a member of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities and looked after its library from 1795 to 1800. He gave a total of ten lectures on the meeting evenings. His lecture on the Society's book collection in 1796 gave the impetus to found a reading society. Together with Johann Friedrich Petersen and Hermann Friedrich Behn he campaigned under the umbrella of the society for the establishment of a preparation seminar for teacher training and has been part of the college since it was founded in 1807.
On January 14, 1802 he married a merchant's daughter. The couple had two children, their son Peter Hermann Munzenberger and a daughter.
