Johann August Kriebel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann August Kriebel (born July 3, 1735 in Stettin , † December 3, 1818 in Wolgast ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran theologian, school director and writer.

Life

Johann August Kriebel was a son of Johann Kriebel (1700–1766) and Christina von Glahn, widow of the pastor at the St. Peter and Paul Church Christian Zickermann . The father was a field preacher in the regiment of Prince Christian August von Anhalt-Zerbst in Stettin and had, among other things, baptized his daughter, who later became Tsarina Katharina II. In 1736, the father was called to Greifenhagen as a preposition . The son attended the city school in Greifenberg and from 1750 the academic high school in his native city. From 1755 he studied theology at the University of Halle , since he was threatened with being drafted into the Prussian military in Pomerania . The cost of studying exceeded his father's financial means. His uncle, the war council von Glahn, got him a three-year scholarship from Lübeck .

In order to avoid being called up, he accepted a position as tutor for the sons of Professor Andreas Mayer in Greifswald in 1759 . During this time he made the acquaintance of Lampert Hinrich Röhl and Jakob Martin Herold, among others . Johann August Kriebel received his master's degree and doctorate in philosophy in 1763 and was appointed rector of the Greifswald city school in 1764 . The Philosophical Faculty of the University of Greifswald gave him permission to hold lectures. He also wrote reviews and poems for the “Judgments about learned things” and he worked for Johann Carl Dähnert and Johann Georg Peter Möller for their “Critische Nachrichten”. At the end of 1767 he married and gave up the rectorate in favor of the vice plebanate at the Nikolaikirche in Gützkow . By order of the Swedish Pomeranian government , he took part in a collection of songs for the appendix to the "Pommersch-Rügianische Gesangbuch" (1777).

In 1783 he took over the office of pastor and praepositus in Wolgast , which he occupied until the end of his life. Kriebel took part in the Greifswald state parliament of 1806 and gave the final sermon. At the beginning of 1808 he was a member of a commission ordered by the French occupying power to determine the financial circumstances of the Wolgast citizens, whereupon a tax was levied. At the end of 1817, shortly before his 50th anniversary in office, he was honored by the theological faculty of the University of Greifswald with a doctorate in theology. As early as 1811 he was assigned Lorenz Stenzler as a substitute , who took over the office after his death in 1818.

family

On December 30, 1767, Johann August Kriebel married Catherine Charlotte Stenzler († 1824), the youngest daughter of the general superintendent of Swedish-Pomerania Laurentius Stenzler and Ida Auguste Lütkemann, daughter of the general superintendent Timotheus Lütkemann . The two had six daughters and two sons, one of whom died in childhood. Among the daughters were:
