Joachim Christopher Wendt

Joachim Christopher Wendt (born May 19, 1693 in Lübeck , † September 15, 1764 in Schlamersdorf, today part of Seedorf (Segeberg district) ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman.

Life

Joachim Christopher Wendt came from a pastor's family who had worked at Lübeck Cathedral for three generations since 1647 . He was a son of Senior Christoph Wendt and his wife Anne Charitas († 1715), b. Stockmann, a daughter of the physician Paul Joachim Stockmann (1627–1688) and granddaughter of Joachim Stockmann and August Varenius . August Joachim Wendt was his older brother.

He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck and from the summer of 1713 studied Protestant theology at the universities of Rostock , Wittenberg and Leipzig . His friend and companion when he moved to another university was Johann Friedrich Colberg (1693–1761), who later was pastor and superintendent in Stralsund . In 1718, after a disputation chaired by superintendent Georg Heinrich Götze , Wendt was accepted among the candidates of the Lübeck Spiritual Ministry ; the theme was De gradibus gloriae in vita aeterna D. Martino Luthero asserendis ("On the degrees of glory attributed to D. Martin Luther in eternal life").

At the presentation of the church patron, the Catholic Count Johann Georg von Dernath on Seedorf, he was appointed pastor of Schlamersdorf in 1725. Here he stayed until the end of his life. His term of office was marked by a long-standing dispute with the parish owner of the Muggesfelde estate (now part of Nehms ), the prince-bishop's chamberlain Joachim von Ahlefeldt (1670–1744). The dispute, which was also carried out in a journalistic and legal manner, up to the Supreme Court, concerned parochial rights , namely the membership of larger parts of the property in the Schlamersdorf parish, fees for official acts , but also the bad treatment of serfs by von Ahlefeldt. In 1743, the Wendt Supreme Court was right on all points.

From 1726 Joachim Christopher Wendt was married to Anna Margaretha (1701-after 1764), b. Fellbaum, daughter of Pastor August Fellbaum (1665–1717) in Rensefeld .

His portrait in the church of Schlamersdorf burned with it in the great fire in Schlamersdorf on May 27, 1870.

Studbook

At the beginning of his studies, Joachim Christopher Wendt created an album Academicum , in which he collected entries from his Lübeck patrons and his academic teachers and fellow students. On 355 pages it contains entries from Lübeck, Bremen , Wittenberg , Leipzig and Rostock from the years 1713 to 1716. The entries originally began with that of the Lübeck mayor Johann Westken from May 1713, before the 1716 the Wittenberg Vice Rector Ernst Christian Schröder his entry sat. This is followed by the entries of the mayors Thomas von Wickede and Adolf Mattheus Rodde , followed by the Leipzig rector Johann Christian Lehmann (natural scientist) , the Lübeck cathedral dean Johann von Wickede and the Syndicus Johann Georg Gutzmer .

The album later came to the Kiel University Library . There it has been preserved under the signature SH 405 G. and is also available as a digital copy. The Kiel senior librarian Andreas Wilhelm Cramer added an overview of some of the contributors on the first pages.
