Life

Johann Jacob Sartorius was born as the son of Joachim Christoph Sartorius (born January 10, 1688 in Rüdisbronn , † March 27, 1746 in Pegnitz ), professor of morality at the Knight Academy in Erlangen.

He received lessons from his father at home as well as instructions at the knight academy. Because his father was uncertain about the future of the knight academy, which was dissolved in 1742, and he received only a small salary as a professor at this teaching facility, he decided to accept a preaching position in Pegnitz in 1740; He died there in 1746. Because of his father's new job, Johann Jacob Sartorius' schooling suffered, especially since there was no public school in Pegnitz.

After his father's death, his mother moved back to Erlangen with his three siblings. He now decided to begin academic studies as quickly as possible in order to make a living after three years as a theology candidate. During his studies he decided, due to his lack of school education, to concentrate on the education office, but at that time all aids for studying philology were missing , so that he had to make do with the old literature and the holy and profane writers, which he got through supported his friend Georg Besenbeck (1731–1762), who later became vice rector of the Illustre Erlangense grammar school .

After completing his studies, Johann Jacob Sartorius was employed as a private tutor in several houses in Erlangen and Baiersdorf and in 1759 was given the position of a first-class collaborator at the Illustre Erlangense grammar school; at the same time he received the position of deacon at the city ​​church. At the grammar school, he held classes in Greek, Latin, philosophy and mathematics. After his brother-in-law Georg Besenbeck died in 1762 , he succeeded him in the position of vice rector and in 1776 succeeded rector Friedrich Christian Lorenz Schweigger .

Johann Jacob Sartorius was married to Anna Katharina Magdalena (born April 7, 1746 in Bayreuth; † 1769), a daughter of Johann George Mackeldey (1712–1774), princely university stable master and professor of equestrian art at the University of Erlangen, since 1766.
