Life

Johann Nicolaus Pouget was the son of a Catholic valet at the Swedish court who moved to Copenhagen in 1694, where there was more religious freedom. Through the mediation of the imperial envoy in Denmark, Pouget came to the Jesuit college in Linz at the age of eleven ; after graduation he was trained at the Collegium Urbanum in Rome . Ordained a Roman Catholic priest in 1709, he was named Dr. PhD in theology and philosophy. He was a priest in Utrecht , a canon in the Spital am Pyhrn monastery and was active in the imperial embassy chapels in Hamburg and Copenhagen. In mid-June 1716, he gave a sermon in the imperial embassy chapel in Hamburg during the celebrations that the imperial envoy Christoph Ernst Graf von Bimbach gave on the occasion of the birth of the first child of Elisabeth Christine von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and Emperor Karl VI. (HRR) , Archduke Leopold Johann († in November of the same year) organized. Then he went to Copenhagen.

Under the influence of the pastor at the German-speaking St. Petri Church (Copenhagen) , Heinrich Dürkop (1671–1731, previously in Lübeck), Pouget turned to the Lutheran creed. Pouget converted to the Lutheran faith in Lübeck in 1719 , underwent a colloquium here on November 21 , at which he gave a lecture on Georg Heinrich Götze's collection of theological proverbs, and in January 1721 was elected as the preceptor of the poor house in the former St. Anne's monastery . In December 1721 he asked for his release. He worked for a while as a private tutor and in 1724 went to his brother-in-law Magister Bützow, the pastor of the German Karlskirche in Malmö . After an examination before the cathedral chapter in Lund , he was given permission to assist him as Pastor Secundarius . 1729 returned to his hometown Stockholm, where he was initially a preacher of the French Lutheran congregation. In 1731 Queen Ulrika Eleonore appointed him chief pastor of the Katharinenkirche , where he worked until his death.

Since 1722 he was married to Helena Maria Sessing, a daughter of the Danish captain Tyke Christopher Sessing. The couple had two children.
