Johann Ritter (born June 13, 1684 in Lübeck , † January 4, 1737 ibid) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and chief pastor of the Lübeck Petrikirche .

Life

Johann Ritter was a son of Lübeck's senior pastor and senior Georg Ritter . Andreas Ritter was his older brother; Johann Ritter (mayor) and Gerhard Ritter (councilor) were uncles of his. He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck and studied at the universities of Jena , Leipzig , Rostock , Copenhagen , Kiel and Greifswald .

He then went on a grand tour with Jacob Hieronymus Lochner to the Netherlands and England . At the University of Leiden he met Thomas Cren (Thomas Theodor Crusius, 1648–1728), who dedicated the 17th part of his Animadversiones Philologicae Et Historicae to him and Gotthard Arnold Isselhorst .

After his return to Lübeck, he underwent the theological exam on February 12, 1711 under the chairmanship of Superintendent Georg Heinrich Götze , during which he gave Götzes a very topical scripture num theologo tempore pestis fugere liceat Vel Ob a preacher due to the Great Plague (Prussia) May I flee the plague? defended as a respondent . At the same time he was appointed preacher of the Lübeck Aegidienkirche . On November 23, 1713 he became archdeacon of St. Petri and from July 23, 1716 her (main) pastor.

On October 14, 1725 he inaugurated the new pulpit of the Petrikirche donated from the estate of the merchant Bernhard Stolterfoht. The sermon was also printed. The baroque pulpit was torn down in 1879 and replaced by the pulpit of the Katharinenkirche , which then burned in 1942, as well as the remains of the pulpit from 1725, which had been stored on the tower floor.

A rococo-shaped epitaph on the north wall of the Petrikirche commemorated Johann Ritter . Under the portrait of Ritter, held by Putten , there was an inscription with the dates of his life and four German verses. It burned during the air raid on Lübeck on Palm Sunday night 1942.
