Johann Heinrich Carstens

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich Carstens (born March 25, 1738 in Lübeck ; † January 21, 1829 there ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and senior at the Ministry of Spirituality in Lübeck.

Life

Johann Heinrich Carstens came from a Lübeck councilor and pastor family. He was a son of the main pastor at Lübeck Cathedral Meno Nicolaus Carstens (1701–1757) and grandson of the main pastor at St. Aegidien Joachim Hinrich Carstens (1666–1733). The lawyer Christian Nicolaus Carstens was his older brother.

He studied Protestant theology at the University of Jena . In 1760 he was the respondent to a disputation dedicated to Daniel Joachim Köppen on his departure from Jena, chaired by Balthasar Münter . After completing his studies, he was elected preacher at Lübeck Cathedral on August 20, 1767 . On July 21, 1785 he became the main pastor at the cathedral. After being elected senior on September 10, 1795, he soon became the leading clergyman of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lübeck , as the council did not fill the position of superintendent again after the death of Johann Adolph Schinmeier on May 2, 1796.

He celebrated his fiftieth anniversary in office on August 20, 1817, for which Heinrich Kunhardt dedicated a work by Plato's Phaedon : with special consideration to the doctrine of immortality . On July 18, 1827, at the age of 89, he was released into retirement at his request as cathedral pastor, but remained a senior. His successor as main pastor was Johann Friedrich Petersen (the elder) ; His successor as a senior was Hermann Friedrich Behn after his death .

Epitaph in Lübeck Cathedral

After his death in 1831, a sandstone epitaph in early neo-Gothic forms was placed on the front of the south transept, which encloses a portrait painted by Friedrich Carl Gröger . With funds from his estate, a similar epitaph was finally placed on the left of his great-great-grandfather, the Syndicus Joachim Carstens , around 1850 .

A nail violin from his estate is in the collection of the St. Anne's Museum .
