Johann Christoph Krause

Johann Christoph Krause (born December 14, 1749 in Artern , † September 30, 1799 in Halle (Saale) ) was a German historian.

Life

Krause studied theology at the University of Halle from 1769 to 1772 , then became a teacher at the Berge monastery near Magdeburg and began studying law in Halle in 1773. Some time later he became the court master of a wealthy Berliner and decided to pursue an academic career. To this end, he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy at the end of 1778 , after which he held lectures on imperial history, statistics and diplomacy.

In 1787 he became associate professor , in 1788 a full professor of philosophy and in 1793 Ephorus of the Magdeburg Provincial Freitische in Halle. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the University of Halle and was Vice-Rector of the Alma Mater shortly before he died in 1789/99 . Krause's writings contain primarily historical works. However, he has not achieved lasting importance in academic teaching, although his lectures were well attended. This may also be due to his premature death.

Johann Christoph Krause was married to their daughter Wilhelmine Keferstein (1765–1829) since October 1786. The marriage remained childless.
