Johann Heinrich Röding , also Johann Hinrich Röding (born November 20, 1732 in Hamburg ; † December 27, 1800 there ) was a German pedagogue and poet.

Life

Johann Heinrich Röding was born shortly after the death of his father; his mother Anna Magdalena married the tailor Johann Daniel Schubart in 1733 . Röding did not enjoy any academic training. He became a simple school teacher, first from 1750 in a village school in the old country , then from 1755 in Tellingstedt in Dithmarschen . In 1763 he came back to Hamburg as a teacher at the parish school of the main church Sankt Jacobi . In this “modest office” he remained until the end of his life.

Through his poems published from 1768 (an anthology of mixed poems comprised 80 individual prints from 1768 to 1773 alone) and youth writings in prose and verse , he soon became known regionally. He wrote numerous occasional carmina in Standard German and in Low German . In prose he wrote devotional books and multi-volume magazines for the youth. Several of his spiritual chants were included in anthologies , the passion song His fight was now ended in the hymn book of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg . Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach set some of his poems to music and used words by Röding in 1787 for the cantata to introduce the main pastor to St. Petri Heinrich Julius Willerding .

In 1777 he was appointed (honorary) member of the Princely Anhalt German Society in Bernburg . He was also an honorary member of the Ducal German Society in Helmstedt

Since 1757 he was married to the previously widowed Catharina Engel Ricker, geb. Stamer. Of the couple's four sons, Peter Friedrich Röding was best known.

Röding wrote a version of the song Auf Hamburgs Wohlergehn, popular in the 19th century .
