Johann Christoph Krüsike (born March 11, 1682 in Hamburg ; † November 26, 1745 there ) was a German Protestant theologian and poet.

Life

The son of Paul Georg Krüsike, had attended the Johanneum School of Academics and moved into the University of Kiel in 1702 . In 1704 he moved to the University of Wittenberg , where on April 29, 1704 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy. After he had finished his theological and mathematical studies in 1706, he tried to get a professorship with the support of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , among others . However, this request failed him, so that in 1715 he accepted a position as a deacon at St. Petrikirche in Hamburg. In 1741 he was promoted to archdeacon, which position he held until the end of his life.

Like his father, Krüsike was a member of the poetic society of the Zesen Order of Roses, under the name “the God- loving ” . A large number of elegies in German and Latin have come down to us from him. Of his writings of interest are “Disput. Mathematia de muniendi tam vetere spec I et II. " (Kiel 1702), " Sacrvm secvlare memoriae beneficii divini in repvrgata doctrina Lvtheri " (1717) and Vindemiarum litterariarum, specimen I et II:" De Bibliothecis et de libris. " (Hamburg 1727 ); spec. III: "de varia eruditione" . (1731).
