Life

Joachim Erdmann Schmidt was born as the son of the wealthy businessman Stephan Schmidt and his wife, a née Steniger. Initially he was trained by a private teacher and he attended high school in Schöningen . On October 3, 1729 he moved to the University of Jena , where he first completed philosophical studies with Burkhard Gotthelf Struve , Johann Reinhard Rus , Georg Erhard Hamberger and Heinrich Köhler . After studying law at the University of Halle with Johann Gottlieb Heineccius , he continued his legal studies in Jena with Johann Gottfried Schaumburg and Johann Wilhelm Dietmar . After completing his studies, he became a tutor for young noblemen. As such, he traveled to the Netherlands in 1739, where he expanded his legal studies under Johann Jacob Vitriarius at the University of Leiden . After a stay in England, where he expanded his language skills, he returned to Jena.

Here he defended his inaugural treatise De fabris fortunae under Johann Friedrich Hertel on August 19, 1742, and received his doctorate in law on August 25 of the same year. He then gave lectures on history and legal subjects. After he had acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy on June 4, 1744, he was appointed full professor of law in 1755. In July 1761 he became a professor and, associated with this, an assessor at the Jena court, at the Schöppenstuhl and in the law faculty. On July 12, 1763 he was appointed Hofrat von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, and in 1764 he became a professor of constitutional and feudal law and history. Later he was appointed a secret councilor and in the summer semester of 1771 he was rector of the Jena Salana . After his death, his library and his coin collection were auctioned, for which separate catalogs appeared.
