Johann Christoph Schlueter
Johann Christoph Schlueter (born November 6, 1767 in Münster ; † October 8, 1841 there ) was a German philologist .
Life
After attending the Paulinum grammar school , Schlüter studied theology at the university in his hometown from 1785 to 1789 . Already during his studies he got into philology, which is why he was not ordained a priest. After completing his studies, Schlüter worked as a private tutor for Freiherr Ketteler for ten years . In 1799 he went to the University of Göttingen for a year , where he deepened his philological studies with Christian Gottlob Heyne . He then completed his habilitation in Münster and was appointed associate professor of German style and German literature in 1801, and in 1804 professor of Roman literature.
Schlüter stayed in Munster until the end of his life, although he received various positions at universities outside of Germany. In 1816 he was appointed Konsistorialrath at the Consistory and Provincial School College. He resigned this office in 1818 and only kept his seat on the scientific examination committee for the higher teaching post. From 1836 until his death in 1841 he was the permanent rector of the (current) Münster Academy. In 1839 the University of Bonn awarded him an honorary doctorate from its Philosophical Faculty.
Schlüter's importance as a philologist is based, in addition to his teaching activities in Münster, on his translations of Tacitus , Sallust and Terenz . His son Anton Aloys Schlüter (1803-1870) became a philologist like him and worked as a high school director in Coesfeld. Among his friends was the writer Theobald Wilhelm Broxtermann .
