Johann Ernst Schulz (born December 20, 1742 in Dreysee in East Prussia , † April 9, 1806 in Königsberg (Prussia) ) was a German Lutheran theologian and from 1778 general superintendent in Königsberg.
Life
At the age of ten he came to Königsberg, where he attended the old town school and in 1759 began studying at the University of Königsberg . His formative teacher was Theodor Christoph Lilienthal (1717–1781), with whom he became a private tutor in 1760. In 1767 he became a teacher at the orphanage in Königsberg and in 1771 received a preaching position there. After publishing some writings theological content, he became a doctor of theology and full professor of theology at the Königsberg University in 1778 . In connection with this, he was appointed royal Prussian consistorial councilor, court preacher and general superintendent in Königsberg for East Prussia as the successor to the resigned Johann August von Starck . As a general superintendent, he presided over the Lutheran Prussian Consistory in Königsberg, the regional church authority of the Lutheran Upper Consistory in Berlin , which was responsible for the entire monarchy. In 1783 he rose to the second theological professorship and in 1799 to the first theological professorship, which he held until the end of his life.
