Johann Huswedel
Johann Huswedel (born July 24, 1575 in Hamburg , † October 22, 1651 in Rostock ) was a German educator and philologist .
Life
Born the son of a baker, he attended the learned school of the Johanneum , studied at the University of Rostock , where he obtained a master's degree in 1598 and, following an educational trip, accepted a position as deputy principal in Schwerin. To continue his studies, he went to the University of Wittenberg in 1600 and then to the University of Leiden , where he came into closer contact with Joseph Justus Scaliger , Paul Merula and other scholars.
In 1605, the Hamburg council appointed him deputy principal to the Johanneum, where he had to deal with the city's theologians about teaching methods at the Johanneum. Thereupon he felt compelled to give up the office in 1615 and went to Rostock as vice principal of the city school . At the local university in 1627 he was appointed professor of Greek language and practical philosophy.
In 1627 he followed another call from Hamburg, this time as rector of the Johanneum and as high school professor of Greek language and philosophy at the academic high school. On March 2, 1628 he gave up the office again due to new conflicts with the theologians and went to his old position as professor in Rostock. There he died as a senior in the philosophical faculty and emeritus after he had twice administered the rectorate of the university in 1623 and 1638 .
