Johann Samuel Strimesius

Johann Samuel Strimesius (also: Strimes ; * July 26, 1684 in Frankfurt (Oder) ; † December 27, 1744 ibid) was a German rhetorician and historian .

Life

The son of Samuel Strimesius (1648–1730) was deposited on December 23, 1688 at the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt and re- enrolled on April 29, 1699 under the rector's office of his father . In Frankfurt (Oder) he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy and pursued an academic career. In 1710 he was appointed professor of rhetoric and history at the University of Königsberg . In that work, he was several times dean of the philosophical faculty and participated in the summer semesters 1722 and 1732 as rector of the alma mater and at the organizational tasks. Strimesius made a name for himself primarily as one of the first journalists in Königsberg.

As a senior in the philosophical faculty, he tried in 1734 to ridicule the Pietist Franz Albert Schultz (1692–1763) and thereby made a mockery of himself. This attempt resulted in a legal process. On April 20, 1735 Strimesius was relieved of his offices for alcohol abuse, defamation and misappropriation of public funds. He then moved to Berlin and returned to his birthplace, where he died in miserable circumstances.
