Heinrich Leonhard Schurzfleisch (also: Schurtzfleisch ; born November 11, 1664 in Korbach , † July 13, 1722 in Weimar ) was a German lawyer, historian and librarian.

Life

Heinrich Leonhard Schurzfleisch was born in Korbach, Waldeck in 1664, the son of the former court preacher of Count von Waldeck and later school principal Johann Schurzfleisch (* 1609 in Wildungen; † 1669 in Korbach) and his wife Anna Gutta Benigna (née Fulder). He attended school and high school in his hometown. At the age of seventeen he matriculated on October 11, 1681, while still a minor, at the University of Wittenberg , where his brother Konrad Samuel Schurzfleisch was a professor. In 1688 he moved to the University of Jena , where he continued his law studies. In 1692 he became a chancellery adjunct and assessor for the administration of the Waldeck district and in 1695 undertook an educational trip that took him to various universities, including in France and Holland.

So he met Johann Georg Graevius in Utrecht, Jakob Gronovius , Jacob Perizonius and the legal scholar Philipp Reinhard Vitriarius in Leiden. 1697 he received his doctorate at the University of Franeker for Doctor of rights. Schurzfleisch soon returned to literary work in Wittenberg. He dealt with Roman history, also with coin studies, genealogy, heraldry, diplomacy, antiques, mathematics and modern foreign languages ​​(French and English). Since his range of services became quite interesting for the Wittenberg University, he was accepted on March 12, 1701 as an adjunct to the philosophical faculty of the Wittenberg University. In this connection he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy on April 27, 1702, in the same year became his brother's substitute and, after his brother's death, a full professor of history. In the same year 1708 he succeeded his brother as library director in Weimar. He retained his Wittenberg professorship, teaching here primarily world and church history.

Although he had participated in the organizational tasks of the Wittenberg University both as dean of the philosophical faculty and as prorector of the Alma Mater in the summer semester of 1710 , many obstacles were put in his way in coping with his tasks. Therefore he resigned his Wittenberg professorship in 1713, for which he moved completely to Weimar and received the title of senior consistorial councilor. After his death, he was buried on July 13, 1722 in Weimar's Jakobskirche and the Schurzfleisch brothers' 8,400 volume private library became part of the collections of the Weimar court library. It formed their basis. Later on, the institution became extremely important as the Duchess Anna Amalia Library . However, valuable pieces from the collection were destroyed in a fire in 2004.
