Title of the main work by J. Chr. Sachs

Johann Christian Sachs (born September 7, 1720 in Karlsruhe , † June 29, 1789 in Karlsruhe) was the high school rector at the illustrious high school in Karlsruhe and an evangelical councilor in the margraviate of Baden . Sachs is also known as the historian of the House of Baden - especially for his German version of Schöpflin's Historia Zaringo-Badensis .

Life

Sachs was born the son of a margravial official. He enrolled at the University of Halle at the age of 16 .

In 1744 he became professor of history and poetry at the illustrious grammar school in Karlsruhe, where he had previously worked as a teacher. In 1764 he was rector of this school and in 1766 also a councilor.

As early as 1754 - before Schöpflin had received the order for a history of the Baden family from the margrave - Sachs began to give illustrious lectures at the gymnasium on the origins of the Baden family and the life of individual margraves from the 12th to the 16th centuries. From 1764 to 1773 he published his work Introduction to the History of the Marggravschaft and the Marggravial Old Princely House of Baden in five volumes, which adheres to the systematics of Schöpflin's Historia Zaringo-Badensis and in parts is a translation of this Latin work, which is supplemented by his own comments has been. The project was approved by Schöpflin. Sachs also relies on preliminary work by Johannes Gamans , Johann Friedrich Jüngler , Gabriel Förster , Karl Friedrich Drollinger , Friedrich Theobald Sahler and Jakob Friedrich Herbster .

In the civil service of the enlightened royal house, Sachs played a rather conservative role. As a spiritual church councilor, together with his two colleagues, in 1766 he demanded a change in the voting mode in the church council, as the influence of his secular colleagues in the church council went too far for him. He also demanded that the church council should exercise censorship over philosophical works. However, both were rejected by Margrave Karl Friedrich. In the discussion about the death penalty in 1779, Sachs was one of the supporters.
