Life

Johann Hermann was probably the son of Johann Hermann . On April 27, 1547 he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg , where he became a Master of Philosophy on August 20, 1549 and a member of the Senate of the lowest faculty on May 1, 1552. He then continued a medical degree from the winter semester 1552/53 in Basel and Bologna , where he received his doctorate in medicine on April 10, 1554.

After Wittenberg returned he married in 1554 with Anna (also: Agnes, † 28 October 1563 in Wittenberg), the daughter of the professor of medicine Melchior Fendt . On November 10, 1554, he was admitted to the senate of the medical faculty of the University of Wittenberg . This began his teaching activity in the field of medicine, occasionally taking into account the needs of students of philosophy and physics. After the death of his father-in-law Fendt, he took over his position as a full professor in the winter of 1564/65.

On November 28, 1564 he married Barbara Cranach, a daughter of Lucas Cranach the Elder, in Wittenberg . J. A few years later he became personal physician at the court of Electoral Saxony . He had to quit this prestigious post in 1574 because he had sided with the Philippists , especially for Johann Stössel .
