Jakob Friedrich Rönnberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Friedrich Rönnberg (born July 20, 1738 in Parchim ; † November 4, 1809 in Rostock ) was a German legal scholar and philosopher, lawyer and university professor.

Life

Rönnberg was the son of a merchant in Parchim and was raised from 1751 by his uncle Bernhard Heinrich Rönnberg (1716–1760), who was rector of the Lyceum in Wismar at the time. Accordingly, Rönnberg attended the Lyceum until 1753 and followed his uncle as a pupil when he was transferred to Rostock and Güstrow. From 1758 to 1763 he studied philosophy, history, mathematics and natural sciences, and later also law at the University of Jena . His teachers there were the very popular mecklenburg professors Joachim Georg Darjes and Lorenz Johann Daniel Suckow and the private lecturer Balthasar Münter from Lübeck . Although student Landsmannschaften in Jena were banned at that time and were persecuted by the authorities, the university authorities made in Jena to the 200th anniversary of the university in 1758 and the academic Peace Festival at the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763 exemptions and both events were running under the control and according to the usual ceremonial and Comment of Country teams in their colors . Rönnberg, as a member and senior of the Mecklenburg Landsmannschaft in Jena, was given the honor at the end of his studies, at the ceremony in the Paulinerkirche on May 1, 1763, not only for the entire student body, but on behalf of the university as a whole his celebratory speech The Patriotic Effort to restore the calm of Germany to be allowed to keep.

In the same year he returned to Rostock, where he established himself as a lawyer and completed his doctorate at the University of Greifswald in 1764. In the same year he became professor of morality at the University of Rostock (council professorship ). Although Rönnberg belonged to the Philosophical Faculty, he read Cameralia and Embarrassing Law with great fondness . As early as 1769 he was first rector of the University of Rostock (again in 1773 and 1782). In his publications, he was one of the first to recommend the abolition of serfdom in Mecklenburg , which in fact did not take place until 1820. Around 1788 he joined the Mecklenburg Justice Chancellery in Rostock as a lawyer and procurator and was also procurator at the Rostock consistory. His work on symbolic books [of the Lutheran Church, but excluding the two catechisms of Luther and the Concordia book], first published in 1789 with regard to constitutional law , sparked a broad academic and political discussion full of contradictions. His unfavorable position for the city of Rostock in a tax dispute about the Reich register, Reich contingent and Roman months both in general and in relation to Mecklenburg (1794) deprived him of his lucrative additional income as a Syndicus of the Rostock citizenship. In 1803 he was appointed to a (ducal) professorship for natural and international law, which he retained until his death.

Rönnberg was married to Margarethe Sophie Burgmann, a daughter of the Rostock mayor Dr. (Johann) Georg Burgmann. Through his marriage he was related by marriage to Heinrich Valentin Becker , pastor at the Jakobikirche in Rostock and professor of lower mathematics, Walter Vincent Wiese (married on the same day), professor of theology and Johann Christian von Quistorp , professor of law in Rostock and two-time rector of the University of Bützow .

In 1796 he donated an incunable to the Rostock University Library . His decayed library was put up for sale in 1810.
