Johann Justus Oldecop (also: Johann Justus Oldekop ; also Oldecopp ; born June 16, 1635 in Hildesheim ; died March 20, 1685 in Nienburg an der Weser ) was a German high school teacher , theologian , superintendent and author .

Life

Johann Justus Oldecop is a descendant of the old Lower Saxon family Oldekop, which can be traced back to around 1380. He was the son of Magister Henricus Oldecop, who had a total of 5 daughters and 5 sons. As a teenager he first received private lessons from his father and attended the Hildesheim city school Andreaneum , which was run by his uncle Henning Oldecop . From 1651 he was a student first at the grammar school in Halle , and in 1652 at the Ernestinum in Celle . From 1653 to 1659 he studied theology and philology at the universities in Leipzig and Helmstedt , but temporarily left the city of Helmstedt in 1657 due to the rampant plague there . He then visited several cities on the Rhine and in Upper Saxony and returned to Helmstedt University via Leipzig after the end of the plague.

On May 6, 1659 Oldecop stepped in Lueneburg the place of the pastor adjunctus "the ministerii" at the St. Michael's Church and became a teacher at the Luneburg knights school for nobles, which was converted into a public high school on August 31, 1660; at the Michaelis School in Lüneburg he now worked as a high school professor for philology and rhetoric . In addition, he continued to work in his ministry.

Also in Lüneburg, Oldecop married Anna Magdalena Dammann (born 1636 in Lüne, died after 1686), widow of the councilor and judge Piepenburg, on February 23, 1663. Soon afterwards the son Friedrich Heinrich Oldekop was born, who later also studied theology in Kiel and Helmstedt. In total, the couple had a daughter and two sons.

On the fourth Advent , December 18, 1667, Oldecop gave his farewell speech in Lüneburg. In the same year he took up the position of superintendent of the aristocratic town Ebstorf . In 1670 he went to Hanover , where he held the post of pastor primarius at the Aegidienkirche until 1674 . But the task turned out to be difficult, as there was a strong Catholic counter-movement under the converted Duke Johann Friedrich .

On August 19, 1674, Oldecop gave his inaugural sermon as pastor primarius in Nienburg an der Weser, and worked from 1674 until his death as superintendent in the Lower County of Hoya. The person known as “D.”, a doctor of theology, was the author of several “theological programmata, Orationes Panegyricae [eulogies] and Carmina”.

On the day of his burial on March 30, 1685 in Nienburg, the Nienburg city preacher and superintendent Johann Georg Steigerthal gave the funeral sermon , which was later evaluated biographically.
