Joachim Friedrich Lehzen (born September 7, 1735 in Lüchow ; † October 3, 1800 ) was a pastor.

Life

Lehzen came from "Iessel bey Lüchow". During the Seven Years' War he was a chaplain to a dragoon regiment.

He was a clergyman at a German church in London , the so-called Hamburg Church . Because of his extensive classical and historical knowledge, he was entrusted with the education of several sons of English families. Some of his pupils accompanied him on his return to Hanover.

He then became second preacher at the Marktkirche in Hanover and preacher in Langenhagen (from 1766). In 1771 he was appointed as the successor to Ernst August Pardey (1736–1775) pastor at the town church of St. Mary in Celle . In 1775 he became a preacher at the Marktkirche in Hanover.

Around 1772 he took in the five-year-old Ludwig Karl Georg von Ompteda , because his foster mother, as chief steward of the exiled Caroline Mathilde († 1775), could not keep him at the castle. He taught him with his own children in German and English. With his wife, the pastor's daughter Marie Catharina Melusine Palm (* March 18, 1745; † October 24, 1793) he had two sons and seven daughters, including Louise (* 1784) who later, through the mediation of Augustus Frederick Christopher Kollmann and Johann Hartmann Wilhelm Küpers went to England and became a teacher and later long-time companion of the British king Victoria .

He ran a boys' boarding school with a focus on learning the English language. Ludwig von Vincke was one of his students from November 1784 to the beginning of 1787 .

1785–1799 he submitted four translations from English.
