from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Heinrich Pries (also: the elder ; * November 12, 1714 in Rostock ; † August 1, 1763 ibid) was a German Lutheran theologian and philosopher.

Life

Pries was the son of the Rostock councilor and later mayor Joachim Heinrich Pries (1681–1763) and his first wife Dorothea Elisabeth, née. Wolfleff (1694–1716) from Neubrandenburg. After first private lessons, he went to the Güstrower Gymnasium in 1728 . He completed his theological studies, which he began at the University of Rostock in 1732, with a dissertation “on the services of Philipp Melanchthon to the University of Rostock” in 1735 . In 1736 he moved to the University of Jena to study further theology. In 1739 he completed his habilitation in Rostock with the text "de immortalitate animae, in systemate influxus physici salva", after he had already received his master's degree from the Philosophical Faculty in 1738. In the following years he gave lectures in metaphysics, morality, spiritual eloquence and philosophy as a private lecturer. In 1743 he was given the post of pastor of St. John's and St. George's Churches. From 1743 he was also an advisory full professor of morality. In 1749 he received the Dr. theol. In 1758 he was appointed pastor of the Marienkirche in Rostock. Between 1747/48 and 1757/58 he was dean of the Philosophical Faculty five times, in 1753/54 prorector and 1762 rector of the University of Rostock.

From 1743 Pries was married to Sophie Wendula Petersen (1724–1771). His son of the same name Joachim Heinrich Pries the Younger (1747–1796) also became a theologian and professor in Rostock. His older brother Johann Friedrich Pries (1710–1781) was a cloth merchant in Rostock. From his father's second marriage to Katharina Margarethe Meusling (1698–1733) he had the half-brother Johann Gabriel Pries (1724–1788), a master's degree, teacher and principal at the Güstrower Gymnasium.
