Live and act
Immanuel König was born as the son of the Greifswald citizen and shoemaker Heinrich König and his wife Elisabeth Zülich. After attending the Greifswald city school , he began studying at the pedagogy in Stettin in 1605 , which he continued in Frankfurt (Oder) and in Wittenberg . In 1609 he received his master's degree in Lutherstadt.
In 1613 Immanuel König became an adjunct at the philosophical faculty of the University of Königsberg in Prussia. In 1616 he came back to Greifswald, only to go back to Wittenberg in 1617.
In 1619, Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen gave him a call to teach the Hebrew language at the school in Köthen , which was newly established by Wolfgang Ratke , but he did not accept it.
Just as Immanuel König wanted to take over a pastorate at the Marienkirche in Stralsund , he was called to the position of superintendent in the Kolberg-Cammin Abbey in 1621 - succeeding the late Adam Hamel . But Duke Ulrich von Pommern first sent him to Wittenberg to receive his doctorate, before he was finally introduced as general superintendent in Kolberg by Greifswald superintendent Bartholdus Krakevitz on April 30, 1622 . He carried out this office until his death.
After him, the episcopal court preacher Andreas Scholasticus (Scholastke) was appointed vice-superintendent, but the Kolberg-Cammin monastery was connected to the West Pomeranian government in Stettin, so that the local superintendent took the position into his direction.
