Heinrich Christian Zietz
Heinrich Christian Zietz (born February 15, 1769 in Lübeck ; † July 10, 1834 there ) was a Protestant pastor and topographer.
Life
Heinrich Christian Zietz's family came from one of the Mecklenburg exclaves in Lauenburg. His father Paul Detlef Zietz was a pastor in Lübeck. Zietz visited the Katharineum before studying Protestant theology at the universities of Wittenberg and Jena from 1788 . After his return to Lübeck in 1792 he became a candidate for the ministry of the clergy , but like almost all young candidates he had to look for a position as private tutor, which he found on an estate in Mecklenburg. In 1804 he was first preacher to St. Petri and Pauli in the two-city office of Bergedorf . on March 20, 1809 was appointed to the Aegidienkirche in Lübeck, first as third preacher, then from 1827 to 1833 as chief pastor .
The importance of Zietz does not lie so much in his work as a Protestant clergyman. He has been involved in the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities since 1796 in the context of his interests as a librarian and archivist and contributed to the collection and development of the society's holdings. Together with the then council secretary and later mayor Karl Ludwig Roeck , he campaigned for the preservation and collection of medieval art in Lübeck in 1818, which was salvaged from the dilapidated side churches before they were demolished and preserved for posterity. In 1821, Zietz was one of the founders of the Lübeck History Society around Johann Friedrich Hach .
As an author, during the restoration phase after the French era, he presented a comprehensive description of Lübeck around 1820 under the title Views of the Free Hanseatic City of Lübeck and its Surroundings , which was furnished with 16 copper engravings based on models by Anton Radl . The work is still one of the most important sources for the condition and constitution of Lübeck at the end of the first quarter of the 19th century. Noteworthy for the time is the attached statistics part of his work, which underlines the effort to take stock for a new beginning.
