Johann Deutschmann

Johann Deutschmann , also Johannes Deutschmann (born August 10, 1625 in Jüterbog , † August 12, 1706 in Wittenberg ) was a German Lutheran theologian .

Life

Johann Deutschmann was a son of the court assistant Jeremias Deutschmann († 1655) and his wife Anna (née Langen). He first attended the city school in his hometown. In 1639 he moved to the then well-known grammar school in Halle (Saale) , continued his studies in 1641 in Wittenberg and matriculated on June 21, 1645 at the University of Wittenberg , where he initially devoted himself to philosophical studies.

After acquiring his master's degree in philosophy at Easter 1649, he became an adjunct at the philosophical faculty on October 18, 1653 and held philosophical and theological lectures. During this time he was preparing for an academic journey that would take him from the spring of 1655 through the university centers and libraries of Germany , Holland , Denmark and Belgium . Returning to Wittenberg in 1656, he obtained a licentiate in theology in 1657 , held further lectures and was appointed associate professor at the theological faculty in 1657.

After promotion to the doctorate in theology in 1658 he moved after the death of Andreas Kunad 1662 to the ordinary fourth theological professorship and took over the Ephorie the electoral fellows. In 1681, after the death of Johannes Meisner, he was promoted to the third professorship in the theological faculty, and after the death of Johann Andreas Quenstedt in 1688 he became the highest professor in the theological faculty. As the elder of the theological faculty, he took over the post of provost at the Wittenberg Castle Church . After being elected dean of the theological faculty several times , he assumed the office of rector of the university seven times (in the winter semester of 1670, 1676, 1682, 1688, 1692, 1698 and 1704).

Act

Deutschmann, who, as Calov's son-in-law, adhered closely to the latter, developed a tremendous hustle and bustle after receiving the full theological professorship. He completed a large number of lecture hours, conducted extensive disputations, distinguished himself as a preacher and fervently took on the administration of academic offices.

In the universal church ideas of the Calixtian " syncretism " he saw the independence of Lutheranism threatened, and he attacked the Pietist Philipp Jacob Spener . By demonstrating doctrinal errors, he attempted to prove Spener 284 deviations from the Lutheran doctrine, albeit without having any effect. His lack of Latin earned him the mockery of his students, and an offensive event, namely the performance of a rough student comedy directed against Friedrich Ulrich Calixt , which took place in Wittenberg on October 18, 1676 to celebrate the inauguration of the rectorate by Deutschmann, left the reputation of the Wittenberg faculty dwindle.

Johann Deutschmann is also mentioned on the monument to Abraham Father in the Wittenberg Castle Church .

family

Deutschmann had Anna Catharina on June 2, 1657 (born March 9, 1639 in Königsberg (Prussia); † March 22, 1667 in Wittenberg), the daughter of Abraham Calov and his wife Barbara († August 18, 1639), the eldest daughter of the electoral Brandenburg council, court and higher court secretary Christoph Martini and Judit Schulze, married.
