Life

Heinrich Gottfried Haferung was born in Wittenberg in 1713 as the son of theologian Johann Kaspar Haferung and his wife Johanna Elenora. His mother was the daughter of the Schwarzburg Hofrat and Mayor of Greussen Justus Samuel Bergmann and his wife Johanna (née Zink). On his father's side, he came from a Protestant parish family. In Wittenberg he attended the city school, among others with the rector Martin Knobloch . Because his father was a professor of theology on the academic staff of the University of Wittenberg , Haferung was enrolled for free at the university in his hometown on October 21, 1728. Here he first completed a degree in Artes Liberales .

In addition, Haferung included the lectures by Christoph Ludwig Crell in poetics, by Martin Hassen in ethics, by Johann Gottfried Krause in history, by Georg Wilhelm Kirchmaier in Greek language and literature, by Franz Woken in philosophy, by Ernst Christian Schröder in didactic logic , with Johann Matthias Hase and Johann Friedrich Weidler in mathematics, with Martin Gotthelf Löscher in physics and with Johann Wilhelm von Berger in rhetoric. After he had disputed under his father with the dissertation de intentionis essicacia in sacramentis , he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree under Ernst Christian Schröder with the dissertation de intentionis essicacia in sacramentis on April 30, 1732 . In the same year, on September 24th, he obtained permission to read aloud for universities as a Magister Legens. After a long probationary period as a private lecturer in Wittenberg, Haferung was accepted as an adjunct in the philosophical faculty on April 23, 1737.

Since Haferung followed the path of a theologian and saw little prospect of further academic development in the university business at the University of Wittenberg, he moved to Schönewalde as pastor after he was still dean of the philosophical faculty in 1742 . There he worked until the end of his life. Haferung, who also devoted himself to theological topics in his writings, participated, among other things, with his dissertation de mysteriis, neque comprehendi valcntibus. neque camouflage rationi adversantibus, in the public debate in the German Enlightenment.

Genealogically it should be noted that he had married Charlotta Eleonora, the daughter of the pastor in Elester Ephraim Reddemer. From this marriage there were five sons and three daughters. The sons Johann Ephraim Haferung, Carl Friedrich Benjamin Haferung, Georg Christian Haferung, Johann Friedrich Haferung and Christoph Gotthelf Haferung are known.
