Life

Johann Christoph Stockhausen was the youngest son of the chief preacher Anton Daniel Stockhausen and his wife Anna Maria († 1728), daughter of the Brunswick court and district administrator Bodo Oldekopp from Wolfenbüttel. After he was initially brought up by his father, he received further training from private tutors and attended high school in Idstein in 1740 . Here he received scholastic support from Johann Christian Lange (1669–1756), Johann Michael Stritter (1705–1781) and Johann Martin Wenk (1704–1761), who trained him especially in the ancient languages ​​and gave him the necessary tools To be able to attend college.

In 1741 he moved to the University of Giessen to study philosophical and theological sciences. He attended the philosophical lectures with Heinrich Christoph Nebel (1715–1786), Philipp Nikolaus Wolf (1707–1762), Johann Ernst Höpfner (1702–1755), Johann Ludwig Alefeld and Jakob Friedrich Müller. In the field of theology, Johann Hermann Benner (1699–1782) and Reinhard Heinrich Roll (1683–1768) were his teachers. After a short stay in Kirdorf, Stockhausen went to the University of Jena in 1744 , where Johann Georg Walch , Karl Gotthelf Müller (1717–1760) and Johann Peter Reusch (1691–1758) expanded his philosophical and theological knowledge. In 1746 he was ordered back to Kirdorf due to an illness of his father. After his extensive recovery he went to Marburg, where he made his living as a private tutor and also advanced his studies.

On a trip to Saxony on April 30, 1746 , he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Wittenberg , completed his habilitation in Marburg in 1746 and went to the University of Helmstedt the following year . With the support of Christoph Timotheus Seidel , his lectures were very popular and in 1749 he became a co-founder and first chairman of the German Society in Helmstedt. In 1752 he went to the Johanneum Lüneburg as vice-rector , on October 30, 1761, he became rector of the educational institution and in 1767 rector of the Princely Pedagogy in Darmstadt . On August 6, 1769, he took over the superintendent's position as pastor in Hanau and was associated with it as a consistorial councilor. He held this position until the end of his life. His interest in natural history led him to join the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in 1782 . He was also a member of the German Society of Göttingen , the Latin Society in Karlsruhe, the Princely Hessian Academic Society of Science in Giessen and the Society for the Benefit of Science and the Arts in Frankfurt an der Oder.

Stockhausen married Anna Cäcilia, the youngest daughter of the preacher Metzendorf, in Lüneburg in 1753. The daughter Dorothe Luise († 1762) comes from the marriage, but she died in early childhood.

Stockhausen published several articles in the specialist journals of his time, for example in the Hanoverian and New Hamburg magazines. From his understanding of religiosity, he had written numerous writings that contributed to the formation and refinement of good taste in Germany. In addition, as a natural scientist, he dealt with the geological conditions of his surroundings.

Stockhausen's grave monument has been preserved in the Old German Cemetery in Hanau. After the cemetery was closed, it was moved in front of the judicial building and replaced by a replica on the occasion of a renovation there in 2003 in order to protect the original from the weather.
