Life

Richter was trained at the Pedagogy of the Francke Foundations in Halle and worked there as a teacher while studying theology at the University of Halle . In 1786 he went to Courland and in 1796 became pastor in Lesten , in 1803 Latvian preacher in Doblen. Appointed to the consistorial council as early as 1814 , he rose to superintendent in 1824 and from 1825 also served as the German pastor in Mitau . From 1829 to 1831 Richter was a member of the committee for drafting a general church order for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Russia in St. Petersburg. In 1833 his office was upgraded to that of general superintendent; at the same time he was vice-president of the Provincial Consistory for Courland.

Richter published some theological writings. The University of Dorpat awarded him his doctorate in 1815. In 1827 he received the Order of St. Anne, 2nd Class, in 1832 the Order of St. Vladimir 3rd Class and in 1835 the Order of St. Stanislaus, 2nd Class.

Origin and family

Richter's father was the wool spinner Johann Christian Richter. Viktor Richter married Julianne Lindner in 1801 and was entered in the aristocratic family book of the Saint Petersburg governorate in 1832 , so he and his descendants with the nobility predicate “von” belonged to the Russian nobility. His son was the theologian Julius Wilhelm Theophil von Richter (1808-1892) and his grandson was Victor von Richter (1841-1891).
