Johann Georg von Eckhart
Johann Georg von Eckhart (also: Johann Georg Eccard ; born September 7, 1674 in Duingen ; † February 9, 1730 in Würzburg ) was a German historian and librarian .
Origin and family
His parents were the son of a doctor and chief forester in Duingen Hans Caspar Eckhart and his wife Catharina Marie Baring (1647–1738), a daughter of the professor in Marburg and rector in Hanover Eberhard Baring († 1659).
On October 19, 1706 in Braunschweig he married Rosina Elisabeth Gerthum , the daughter of Captain Daniel Hieronimous Gerthum . The couple had three sons and a daughter. His wife died shortly before him.
Life
Eckhart was already secretary to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) at the beginning of the 18th century . In 1706 he became professor of history at the University of Helmstedt . In 1714 he was called to Hanover again and was again appointed as Leibniz's secretary, succeeding Johann Friedrich Hodann (1674–1745). After Leibniz's death he became the librarian and historiographer of the House of Hanover.
In 1718 Eckhart's cousin Daniel Eberhard Baring became his assistant librarian. In 1723 Eckhart fled Hanover due to debts, converted to Catholicism in Cologne and in 1724 became the Episcopal Würzburg librarian and historiographer under Christoph Franz von Hutten .
The Würzburg Lying Stones by Johann Beringer were probably an intrigue of the Jesuits against the Würzburg historian as a representative of the concept of natural world history developed by Leibniz in the protogaea .
Since 1711 he was a foreign member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences .
Eckhart's estate is kept in the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library .
