Heinrich Scharbau
Heinrich Scharbau (also Hinrich Scharbau , born May 25, 1689 in Lübeck , † February 2, 1759 ibid ) was a German theologian and book collector .
Life
Heinrich Scharbau was the son of a wealthy brewer from Lübeck . After visiting the Katharineum , he studied philosophy , oriental and classical philology and theology at the universities of Rostock , Wittenberg , Leipzig and Jena , where he obtained his master's degree in 1710 .
In 1715 he took over the position of preacher at the Lübeck Castle Church ; In 1733 he moved to the Aegidienkirche as main pastor . In 1752 he was elected senior of the Lübeck Spiritual Ministry by unanimous election of his fellow officials .
On the north side of the Aegidienkirche, his grave is in the Scharbau chapel, built in 1760, at the end of the fourth yoke at right angles to the outer edge of the north aisle near the northern Wendelstein .
He was married to Engel Scharbau geb. Balemann, who came from a Lübeck council family. She was buried in the same chapel on January 3, 1765.
Heinrich Scharbau and the Lübeck City Library
Heinrich Scharbau conducted extensive studies in numerous fields and wrote a significant number of writings himself. Together with Gerhard von Melle and Johann Henrich von Seelen , he was one of the editors of the magazine Bibliotheca Lubecensis , which appeared roughly every six months in 12 episodes from 1725 to 1731.
As a scholar , he amassed an extensive private library that comprised almost 6,000 volumes. Since his marriage remained childless, Scharbau put the Lübeck City Library as the heir to his book collection in his will , drawn up in 1746, and bequeathed her an additional 16,000 Lübische Marks . The condition was the separate listing and cataloging of this library. For this purpose, the room next to the library was prepared on the upper floor of the east wing of the former St. Catherine's Monastery , in which the consistory had met since 1570 . In honor of Scharbau, this hall was named Scharbausaal . Gradually the name was transferred to the original library room, which still bears this name today.
