Johann Ludwig Andreae

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Ludwig Andreae also Johann Ludwig Andreä (* July 1, 1667 in Meßstetten , † July 1, 1725 in Eßlingen ) was a Protestant pastor , cartographer , globe maker and author .

Life

family

Andreae was the son of the Protestant pastor Johann Ludwig Andreae (1640-1691). The son and later mathematician and globe maker Johann Philipp Andreae (~ 1700–1762) and a daughter baptized in 1716 came from the marriage with Anna Rosina Spielbuehler on November 27, 1693 .

Study and parish ministry

After his studies in Tübingen, which he in 1688 with the Master graduated, he was from 1692 to 1694 chaplain at the Guards on horseback in Stuttgart to the same year pastorate in Hausen at the Lauchert and 1710-1711 the pastor in Dürrwangen to compete . The following stay in Eßlingen was followed by his activity as a globe maker from 1714 to March 1718 in Nuremberg , around 1721 again as a pastor, this time in Stuttgart.

Globe builder

It is believed that his first globe appeared in Eßlingen in 1711 and others in Nuremberg from 1715/16 onwards, and that Andreae worked with the rector Samuel Faber (1657–1716). When making celestial globes, he used the calculated star positions of Marco Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718). Andrea is said to have made globes measuring 5½, 10, 12, 10, 18½ and 19 inches.
