Johann Ulrich Tresenreuter

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Ulrich Tresenreuter (born October 31, 1710 in Etzelwang , † March 31, 1744 in Coburg ) was a German educator, philologist, philosopher and Protestant theologian.

Life

The son of Johann Adam Tresenreuter and his wife Margaretha Magdalena, the daughter of the tradesman in Ulm Daniel Kurz, had visited the Aegidianum in Nuremberg and began his academic career at the University of Altdorf in 1727 . There Gustav Georg Zeltner and Johann Balthasar Bernhold (1687–1769) instructed him in theology and the oriental languages. Christian Gottlieb Schwarz (1675–1751), Johann Heinrich Müller , Johann David Köhler and Jacob Wilhelm Feuerlein (1689–1766) expanded and corrected his knowledge of philology, history, philosophy, mathematics and physics . Aided by excellent intellectual talents, he made rapid progress in his scientific education.

In 1730 he obtained his master's degree by defending his unprinted treatise de antiquo ritu elevandi principes inaugurandos, et de quibusdam sacris formulis et elevandi ceremoniis . In the same year he moved to the University of Leipzig . There he heard church history and pastoral theology with Heinrich Klausing , theological polemics with Christian Weise and homiletics with Jeremias Friderici (1696–1766) . Salomo Deyling's Collegium theologicum examinatorio-disputatorium was also important to him , as was the rabbinical lessons that Johann Christian Hebenstreit gave him. He became a member of the Thursday Preachers' Society and the Society of Greek Philology established by Weiss at that time, whose members held weekly meetings to exchange views on individual subjects from theological propositions and the latest theological writings.

After finishing his academic career, Tresenreuter undertook a trip through Upper and Lower Saxony in 1732. At the end of that year he arrived in Nuremberg, but immediately afterwards went to Altdorf, where by defending his treatise de Rahabe, contra jus naturare juste agente (1733), he acquired the right to hold public lectures. His thorough and attractive lecture attracted a large audience. In addition to his colleges, he was useful as an inspector of the alumni at the University of Altdorf, as well as by drawing up a directory for the academic library there. In order to visit his brother, who was the Swedish embassy preacher in Vienna, he made a trip to Vienna and Pressburg around that time.

His friends wish that he would devote himself exclusively to the career of an academic lecturer. But his inclination drew him to a ministry. But in 1738 he accepted a call to the Casimirianum in Coburg as a pedagogical archist and at the same time received the post of professor of philosophy and rhetoric. In Coburg in 1739 he found a wife in Anna Catharina, the daughter of the captain in Coburg Johann Christian Glaser, with whom he fathered a son. This marriage, however, lasted only a few years, as he died at the age of thirty-fourth after he had rejected his application to become a Protestant preacher in London shortly before.

Act

With thorough historical and philological knowledge, Tresenreuter combined a comprehensive theological education which he developed in numerous Latin programs with dogmatic and antiquarian content. He was primarily concerned with astute investigations into whether the art of writing existed before the flood. He had diligently studied the older philosophical systems of Plato, Aristotle, and especially the monad theory of Pythagoras, especially in relation to the human soul, for which he believed, agreeing with Zeltner's view, to assume an intermediate state after death. Before the Last Judgment, Tresenreuter said, neither would the pious see God face to face, nor would the wicked feel the torment of the flames in which they were to suffer. Those would only be pleased with hope, these would only be tormented by fear. He had expressed these views in 1740 in his program de statu medio animarum a corpore separatum, but had found some contradictions. Further exposition of his system prevented his death.
