Johann Konrad Schwarz

Johann Conrad Schwarz (also: Schwartz ; * 1676 in Coburg ; † June 3, 1747 ibid) was a German educator and Protestant theologian.

Life

The son of the Coburg citizen Georg Schwarz and his wife Magarethe geb. Goldsmith came from a humble background. After attending the city school and education in his hometown, Schwarz studied theology at the University of Jena from 1696 . Here were Johann Andreas Danz (1654–1727) in the oriental languages, Georg Schubart (1650–1701) in philosophy, Johann Paul Hebenstreit (1664–1718), Georg Albrecht Hamberger (1652–1716), Johann Jakob Müller (1650–1716) ) and Johann Philipp Treuner (1666–1722) his teachers. He attended theological lectures with Friedemann Bechmann (1628–1703), Valentin Veltheim (1645–1700) and Johann Franz Buddeus .

Following Buddeus, he switched to the University of Halle . In Halle he studied the Ethiopian language with Johann Heinrich Michaelis , and he attended lectures on canon law by Christian Thomasius . After he had disputed a few times under Buddeus in Halle, he switched to further training in 1703 at the University of Leipzig . Here, among others, Johannes Olearius , Johann Schmid , Thomas Ittig and Gottlob Friedrich Seligmann were his teachers, who trained him in the exegesis of the New Testament and in Christian ethics.

Soon he decided to go on an educational trip through Lower Saxony, Westphalia and to Dutch universities, where he made acquaintance with the important scholars of that time. He returned in 1706 as an associate professor of the Latin language at the Casimirianum grammar school in Coburg, then a full professor of poetry and in 1713 professor of rhetoric and Greek. After he had obtained a licentiate in theology, he became professor of theology, logic and oriental languages ​​in Coburg in 1732, rector of the grammar school and received his doctorate in theology at the University of Altdorf . In the last years of his life he became blind, so that an adjunct supported him in his duties.
