Johann Wilhelm Schmid

Johann Wilhelm Schmid (born August 29, 1744 in Jena ; † April 1, 1798 there ) was a German Protestant theologian.

Life

Johann Wilhelm was born as the son of Jena law professor Paul Wilhelm Schmid and his first wife Magaretha Maria Christiana Brückner (1719–1750). His father made sure that he received private tutors from an early age. In addition, he attended the Jena city school, which was under the direction of Johann Christian Blasche . At the age of fourteen he became a student at the University of Jena in 1758 . Here he completed lectures at the philosophical faculty and with Lorenz Johann Daniel Suckow , Joachim Georg Darjes , Christian Friedrich Polz and Joachim Erdmann Schmidt . Devoting himself to theological studies, he frequented the presentations by Johann Georg Walch , Johann Christoph Köcher , Friedrich Samuel Zickler and Johann Friedrich Hirt . After his studies he went to Nienburg an der Weser as a private tutor in 1764 , where he stayed for five years. Returning to Jena in 1769, he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy and completed his habilitation at the Jena University.

After he had participated in the lecture business of the same, he became an adjunct of the philosophical faculty in 1770. In 1772 he took over the position of garrison preacher and third deacon at the Jena city church St. Michael , where in 1776 he was promoted to second deacon. In 1783 he was appointed third professor of theology at the Salana, whereupon he received his doctorate in theology on September 11, 1784 and took over the office on September 18 of the same year. In 1792 he was promoted to second full professor of theology. Schmid, who was shaped by the teaching structure of Lutheran theology, developed under the influence of Ernst Jakob Danovius into a supporter of the ideas of rationalism of Immanuel Kant . This also earned him the name Moralschmid, which he received as one of the first theological rationalists of the 18th century. Schmid also took part in the organizational tasks of the Jena University. He was dean of the theological faculty a few times and in the winter semesters 1786, 1792, 1794 rector of the alma mater .

Schmid married Katharina Marie Metike († 1813), daughter of the councilor and bailiff in Neuhaus Johann Friedrich Theodor Metike, in 1778. The marriage resulted in ten children. One knows the daughter Bernhardine Sophie Schmid (1778-1822), who married the professor of theology Carl Christian Erhard Schmid . The son Karl Schmid (August 5, 1793 in Jena; † October 13, 1839) became a medic and worked as a doctor in Sulza and married on November 21, 1820 with the pastor's daughter from Celle Dorette Lutmer. The son Alfred became a businessman in Plauen.
