Johann Jakob Quandt

Johann Jakob Quandt (born March 27, 1686 in Königsberg i. Pr. , † January 17, 1772 ibid) was a Lutheran theologian.

Life

He was the son of the consistorial councilor Johann Quandt and studied philosophy and theology from 1701 to 1706 at the Albertus University of Königsberg and from 1706 at the University of Leipzig . After teaching philology and philosophy in Königsberg since 1710 , he became a doctor of theology and professor of theology in Königsberg at the University of Rostock . From 1717 he worked as a pastor in Löbenicht and from 1721 as court preacher in the castle church (Königsberg) .

In 1736 Quandt was appointed general superintendent for Prussia (which later included East Prussia) with his seat in Königsberg. As a preacher he was still subordinate to the Samland Consistory , but as the regional head of the state church he was under the government. In the course of the creation of the Lutheran Upper Consistory in Berlin in 1750, the Pomesan Consistory was merged with the Samland Consistory to form the Prussian Consistory in Königsberg, which Quandt then headed. His orthodox orientation as general superintendent led to disputes with the Pietist Franz Albert Schultz , at the height of which he held the general inspection for church, school and poor affairs in Prussia with him in a double occupation. In 1755 he was succeeded by Christoph Langhansen in the office of general superintendent.

The Bible edition in Lithuanian from 1727 and 1735, his widespread hymn book from 1735 and the documentation of the preachers in East Prussia deserve special mention .

One of his students was the literary theorist and dramaturge Johann Christoph Gottsched .

Quandt was the first president of the Royal German Society (Königsberg) .

In the Königsberg century Quandt was rector of the Albertus University ten times .
