Johannes Heugel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Heugelius or Heugelius (* 1540 in Wetter (Hessen) ; † 16th November 1582 ) was a Hessian theologian who in the years 1569 to 1576/1577 as a priest in Berleburg worked, and from 1578 to 1582 as a deacon in Laasphe occupied is, although at that time he was living in weather again.

The mayor's son attended the Wetteraner city school and was sent to Lausanne to study in 1559 through the mediation of the rector Justus Vultejus and the pastor Johannes Pincier , later he studied theology in Strasbourg . He obtained his master's degree in Marburg .

Pincier also seems to have arranged for him the pastor's position in Berleburg after the previous pastors Hermann Schmalz and Paul Asphe died of the plague in 1568 . Heugelius was very committed to the new building of the ailing Berleburg city church, which was finally inaugurated on June 12, 1575. On the same day, the previously Lutheran congregation converted to the Reformed faith. Even after his departure, Heugelius seems to have worked temporarily in Berleburg, so he distributed the Lord's Supper at Easter 1578 in the presence of Caspar Olevian .

His heirs are documented in 1587, and in 1589 Bernhard Textor is named as his oath .
