Johann Christian Plath (born November 5, 1790 in Hamburg ; † August 26, 1852 there ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman .
Life
Plath was the son of the wood merchant of the same name, Johann Christian Plath (1738–1817), from his second marriage to Christiane Misler (1759–1850), daughter of the senior secretary Johann Gottfried Misler .
After completing his education at the Johanneum and the Academic Gymnasium in Hamburg, Plath began studying theology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen in 1811 . In 1813 he interrupted his studies and accepted as a sergeant in Bremen-Verden's hussar regiment under Colonel von dem Bussche with the German Legion on campaign against the French part, which his hometown since 1806 occupied had. Plath later continued his studies in Göttingen and was accepted as a candidate for the Hamburg Ministry in 1816 . In 1819 he was hired as a collaborator at the Johanneum and in 1820 as a catechist at the penitentiary and the associated work and poor house . After the death of the preacher Georg Heinrich Häseler (1743-1820), Plath was elected as his successor, became a deacon at the main church of Sankt Michaelis and administered this office until his death in 1852. In 1829 he was also a member of the ministry at the school convention of the school for the poor and patron of the Passmann school , where poor children were taught freely.
Above all, Plath campaigned for the youth, schools for the poor and the Preacher-Wittwenkasse in Hamburg.

On August 22, 1821, Plath married Therese Böckmann (1802–1826), daughter of the Hamburg senior citizen Johann Hinrich Böckmann (1767–1854), who died on January 13, 1826 after the birth of two children.
In 1851, Plath published the autobiography of his father of the same name, which he dedicated to his younger brother Wilhelm Plath (1795–1877).
