Life

Johann Gerhard Pagendarm was the son of the church musician Johann Jacob Pagendarm (1647–1706) and came from a well-known family that came from Westphalia . His brother Hermann Heinrich Pagendarm (* 1674) later became a clergyman. He visited the Katharineum in Lübeck , where he disputed for the first time , also publicly. In 1701 he moved to the University of Wittenberg . There he studied theology with Johann Deutschmann , Caspar Löscher , Gottlieb Wernsdorf the Elder and Johann Georg Neumann ; Philosophy , history andHe studied ancient languages with Konrad Samuel Schurzfleisch , Johann Christoph Wichmannshausen , Georg Friedrich Schröer , Johann Wilhelm von Berger and others. The law he heard.

With his brother Hermann Heinrich, who at that time in Wittenberg lectured , disputed Pagendarm several times. In 1703 he defended his dissertation called de existentia spectrorum , whereby he was promoted to Magister . de Minerva victrice , a work on dogmatics and philology , he defended in 1703 and 1704, which allowed him to hold lectures.

The study was supported by Pagendarm's parents, but the father died in 1706. He became tutor of Moritz Wilhelm von Merseburg in Dresden . Because he preached there with applause, he was appointed early preacher on Sundays and feast days in 1708 at the Margaret Church on the Vesten , the lower chapel of Nuremberg Castle . In March 1713 he was appointed court and town chaplain in Wilhermsdorf by Countess Franziska Barbara . During his tenure in 1714, the new city church was inaugurated. There he wrote drafts of the most necessary pieces and properties that belong to a true Christian , an ascetic script, because he found the Wilhermsdorf community to be very crude. At the same time he was appointed vicar to Neidhardswinden , Aurach and Schaumburg .

Pagendarm has held the office of consistorial councilor and co-inspector for the schools in Wilhermsdorf since 1714 . In 1719 he was appointed pastor to Paschkerwitz in the Silesian Principality of Oels (now the Długołęka parish ). There, the senior consistory commissioned him to examine a Jewish prayer book for passages that the Evangelical and Roman Catholic Churches found offensive and to remove them. This led him to quarrels.

In 1730 Pagendarm was voluntarily dismissed from office and went first to Hanover and from there to Jena to study mathematics . He believed that this would be beneficial for a job with his uncle living in London, the Hanseatic ambassador Johann Gerhard von Hopman. But his wife dissuaded him from this plan. Therefore, he stayed at the University of Jena , defended his dissertation called De codice Judaeorum Oelsnensi, ex parte adhuc superstite, and completed his habilitation there. Afterwards he held lectures on theology, history and geography in Jena . In 1744 he became head of the Jena city school. The following year he defended de hebdomatibus Danielis , which he was appointed as an adjunct of the Faculty of Philosophy.

Pagendarm died in Jena in 1754 at the age of 72.
