Johann von Höveln

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann von Höveln (* 1601 in Riga ; † January 6, 1652 ibid) was a German-Baltic medic.

Life

Johann von Höveln came from the Livonian branch of the originally Westphalian, Hanseatic patrician family von Höveln . His brother Hans von Höveln was an elder of the Blackheads .

From 1523 he studied at the Albertus University in Königsberg . In June 1625 he came to the University of Rostock together with the Magister Johann Eler (* 1597 in Riga, † 1628 in Rostock) . In 1627 he went to the University of Leiden where he received his MD (= Dr. med. ) Doctorate in 1632 .

The year before, in 1631, he had been appointed professor of natural history and ethics at the new Academic Gymnasium in Riga.

In 1637 the council appointed him to the city medical officer and second city physician. From 1638 to 1640 he was also the personal physician of Duke Jakob von Kurland and his aunt Duchess Elisabeth Magdalene († 1649) from the house of Pommern-Wolgast .

He wrote numerous occasional writings and poems in Latin and German. Paul Fleming dedicated a sonnet to him during his visit in November / December 1633 on the way to the embassy with Adam Olearius in Moscow . On 22 December 1633 contributed to the Höveln of pedigree one of Adam Olearius.

His son Heinrich studied law, including in 1656 at the University of Leiden . After his return to Livonia, he lived as a Candidatus iuris without any official position or income, presumably from family assets. In the 1680s he attracted attention through criticism of the church, which in 1693 led to his temporary excommunication by the senior consistory. Before his death in 1702, however, he was again admitted to the Lord's Supper and received a church burial.

His daughter Gertrud married his successor Nicolaus Witte .
