Jakob Frischlin
Jakob Frischlin (born July 25, 1557 in Balingen ; † 1621 there ) was a Württemberg Latin schoolmaster and writer. As such, he was the court historiographer of the Counts of Hohenzollern and translator of the works of his famous brother Nicodemus .
Life
family
Frischlin's grandfather Johannes Frischlin supposedly came to Balingen from Diessenhofen in 1498 and married Luitgarde Metz there. Their son Jakob Frischlin the Elder (1522–1566) became a deacon in Balingen in 1545 and married Agnes Ruoff, daughter of a gunsmith, in 1546. In 1557 he returned to Balingen as a pastor. Jakob Frischlin was born there as the youngest of eight children. After his father and at least four siblings died of the plague in 1566 , he was educated and taught by his eldest brother Nicodemus (1547–1590). The brother was already a master's degree and in 1567 took over a professorship at the University of Tübingen .
Frischlin married his wife Ursula in 1578. A daughter was born in 1580, the children included the sons Johann Ludwig and Johann Jakob, born in 1586 and 1596. Johann Ludwig was ordained in Tübingen in 1611 and died on February 14, 1612 after taking up a pastorate in the Palatinate.
job
Frischlin studied theology in Tübingen. Shortly before graduation, he became in 1578 "if matrimonium" from the University of Tübingen, for his marriage relegated . He received his master's degree afterwards, but Frischlin was forced to take up the profession of teacher that same year and take a position in Waiblingen .
The further career path led Frischlin as a Latin school master to Cannstatt (1579–1581), back to Waiblingen (1581–1594), Neuenstadt (1594), Reutlingen (1595–1599), Schorndorf (1601), Winnenden (1602–1603), Möckmühl ( 1604–1609) and Ebingen (1609–1611). In the years 1599 and 1600 he was the guild - writer of Weber of Urach . Frischlin returned to Balingen as a Preceptor in 1611 , where he retired in 1616. His last two works date from 1620 and 1621.
Work and estate
Frischlin's work was overshadowed by the work of his well-known, big brother.
The legend of the Hirschgulden
The legend of the Hirschgulden , as Wilhelm Hauff called it in his literary processing, is based on a historical tradition to which Frischlin contributed two different points of view. In 1599 and 1613, he described the sale of the town and rule of Balingen from the perspective of the selling Count von Zollern and the buying people of Württemberg.
