Johann Valentin Andreae (born August 17, 1586 in Herrenberg ; † June 27, 1654 in Stuttgart ) was a German theologian , writer and mathematician who had a great influence on Protestantism in the Duchy of Württemberg . He is considered one of the authors of the Rosicrucian legend and likely author of the legend of Christian Rosenkreutz .

Life

1586 to 1611

Johann Valentin Andreae was the third son and fifth child of the Lutheran pastor, superintendent of Herrenberg and abbot of Königsbronn Johannes Andreae and his wife Maria Andreae nee Moser, a daughter of the Herrenberg bailiff Valentin Moser . Andreae 's grandfather, Jakob Andreae, was Chancellor of the University of Tübingen and co-author of the concord formula .

Johann Valentin Andreae's father died in 1601. His mother, a woman well versed in the healing arts, then moved with the children to her relatives in Tübingen . Through the commitment and mediation of her "honorable" Württemberg family, she was given the job of head of the ducal pharmacy in Stuttgart in 1607 . She fulfilled this task with great success until 1614.

Johann Valentin Andreae, who was 15 when his father died, studied fine arts in Tübingen from 1602 to 1605 . During this time he wrote two plays based on English models, Esther and Hyazinthus , as well as his famous writing Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz . In 1603 Andreae became a baccalaureus and in 1605 a master's degree . From 1606 Johann Valentin Andreae began studying theology and mathematics. In 1607, however, he had to leave the university because of a student prank. He was not admitted to the exam and was also deferred from church service.

The Tübingen Circle of Friends of Tobias Heß, Lazarus Zetzner, Christoph Besold et alii

Andreae belonged in Tübingen to the circle of friends of the chiliastic lawyer and theosophist Tobias Heß (1568–1614); this group also included the lawyer and advocate at the Tübingen court, Christoph Besold (1577–1638), the Austrian noblewoman Abraham Hölzel von Sternstein (around 1580–1651), the emeritus superintendent Johannes Vischer (* around 1545), the lawyer Wilhelm Bidembach von Treuenfels (1587 / 89–1655) alias “Guilelmus Amnicola”, the lawyer Johannes Stoffel († before 1665), the lawyer Wilhelm von der Wense (1586–1641), the lawyer Christoph Welling (1582–1661), the lawyer Thomas Lansius (1577–1657), the medic Samuel Hafenreffer (1587–1660), the medic Anton Frey (1584 – after 1622), the philosopher Tobias Adami (1581–1643), the theologian Johann Jakob Hainlin , also: Heinlin (1588–1660 ) and Johann Valentin's brother, the theologian Johann Ludwig Andreae (1590–1610), later also the Hebraist , mathematician and astronomer Wilhelm Schickard (1592–1635).

Travel companion of his pupils on their Grand Tour

Andreae traveled restlessly through Germany and finally taught young nobles as a private tutor in Lauingen and Tübingen. He also wrote theological works during this time. After the outbreak of the great plague in Tübingen, Andreae accompanied some of his pupils on their cavalier tours through Switzerland , France , Austria and Italy .

Court master of the Eberhard von Gemmingen family

In the early summer of 1611 Andreae came to Rappenau as court master to Eberhard von Gemmingen after a stay in France . There he was supposed to prepare his eldest son Philipp for his planned studies in Tübingen for the coming year. Together with Philipp, he returned to Tübingen in August 1611, where they were accepted by Matthias Hafenreffer . After the unexpected death of both parents of Philipps von Gemmingen in October 1611, this employment relationship ended in April 1612. Andreae was present at the funeral of his employer in Rappenau and wrote a commemorative speech expressing his appreciation, which was also printed in 1619.

Meeting with John Calvin in Geneva - the years 1611 to 1638

In Geneva in 1611 he got to know the Reformed Church , shaped by John Calvin , whose strict demand for a hard-working and godly life fascinated him and which he took as a model throughout his life. He studied one semester in Padua and returned to Tübingen in 1612. There he resumed studying theology at the Tübingen monastery . After the final exam in 1614 he was appointed "deacon" (or "helper", i.e. in the terminology of the Lutheran church at that time not "deacon" in the current sense, but "second city pastor") in Vaihingen an der Enz and married in August 1614 Agnes Elisabeth Grüninger (* 1592 in Schützingen , † 1659 in Calw ). The marriage resulted in nine children.

Andreae's attitude towards the Order of the Rosicrucians takes a turn

In retrospect, Andreae justifies his part in the creation of the Order of the Rosicrucians, which now has a widespread following in Europe, as a youthful sin.

In Vaihingen , Andreae wanted to push through a radical program to overcome indecency and poverty. Careful youth instruction and the introduction of church discipline should combat immorality, swearing, drunkenness, marital and neighborhood disputes, and the desecration of Sunday. The Ten Commandments became a legal basis, judges were the pastor and the mayor together with some respected citizens. As punishment, fines were imposed for the poor and up to three days in detention, the fines supported the poor and financed emergency work. Andreae's project failed due to popular resistance.

Andreae becomes superintendent in Calw

In 1620 Andreae became superintendent in Calw , where he had more success with the reformation of schools, social services and poor relief. At that time, with around 3,500 inhabitants, Calw was half the size of Stuttgart and, thanks to its flourishing wool production, one of the most economically important cities in the old Württemberg, at the same time there was social hardship. Andreae convinced the wealthy Calw merchants of the necessity of founding "a Christian, God-loving society" to support the poor, the sick and the youth. The so-called Calwer Färberstiftung, a social institution that existed until 1923, was created from a group of 13 men and 7,100 guilders of real estate.

In the course of the Thirty Years War, Andreae lost all of his property

Today's view of Aichelberg. The church, the rectory and other buildings did not exist at that time. The church and the rectory date from 1907.

For the reconstruction of the city, which was burned down by the imperial armies in the Thirty Years' War after the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634, he procured money, among other things, through his description of the misery in Threni Calvensis and provided active help, although he had lost all of his property himself. including his house, his library and his collection of paintings. He founded the charitable "Christian God-Loving Society" to help the city. But when Calw was devastated again in 1638, Andreae and the population fled to the Black Forest . He fled to Neuweiler and found refuge there with the pastor's family. In the Neuweilener Kirchhof near the church, the inscriptions of one of his children can still be recognized on the grave there. He managed to escape from the imperial army via Aichelberg, which at that time belonged to the Neuweiler office (from 1850 independent as the municipality of Bergorte and from 1974 onwards as part of the municipal reform in Bad Wildbad). As a punishment for the successful escape, the farm of the richest farmer in Aichelberg, along with the farmer and family, was burned down. After the troops withdrew, only 1,500 of the 4,000 inhabitants returned. Half of them died of a subsequent plague epidemic.

The penniless Andreae is appointed court preacher and consistorial councilor in Stuttgart

Johann Valentin Andreae

In 1638 the penniless Andreae was appointed court preacher and consistorial councilor in Stuttgart, where he advocated fundamental church reform. He received his doctorate in theology from the University of Tübingen in 1641 . His writing Theophilus prompted Duke Eberhard III. To introduce the church convention in the Duchy of Württemberg in 1642 - a kind of moral court that condemned parishioners who had attracted attention through gambling, cursing, quarreling or other "unhealthy ways of life".

After the battles of the Thirty Years War, only a third of the pastors were still alive, and theologians were no longer trained. Andreae restored the theological training in the Tübingen monastery and rebuilt the school system, in 1645 he issued the order for general compulsory schooling in Württemberg as the first country in Europe. He ordered the establishment of parish councils for the congregations.

Andreae becomes a member of the Fruit Bringing Society at the Duke's instigation

In 1646, at the instigation of his admirer, Duke August von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen accepted Andreae into the Fruit-Bringing Society . The prince gave him the company name Der Mürbe and the motto "Stay fresh". Andreae's emblem was the moss. In the Koethener society book under the number 464 you can find the rhyme law, with which Andreae thanked for the admission:

"The green crumbly Moß as mans of trees find
Jm green shadow forest, and always fresh verbleibet
power I crumbly hot ': Whether my years are
treibet From old crumbly already, of the spirit force me
But in occupations fresh, and me a binding Darzu
The Many a child is incorporated into the master: that
is the best fruit that is directed to edification
alone, and remains fresh all the time. "

Worn down by the resistance of the clergy and the nobility to his strict interpretation of Christianity and the social reforms he was striving for, Andreae asked in 1646 to leave the church leadership, which was granted to him in 1650. In the same year he took over as general superintendent and abbot in the Bebenhausen monastery as head of the Bebenhausen monastery school . From 1654 he was supposed to lead the Protestant monastery school in Adelberg , but he could no longer take up this position. On June 27, 1654, Johann Valentin Andreae, who had been sick for a long time, died at the age of 68 in Stuttgart. He was buried in the cemetery of the Hospital Church.

Christianopolis

Andreae's most important work is his Christian utopia Christianopolis , published in 1619 , a key text of the utopian genre, which, freely following the model of Thomas More's Utopia , drafts an ideal Protestant society: Its constitutional principle is fear of God, everyone has access to the observatory so that faith is scientific is fertilized, instructive plays are performed in the church. Attending church services is a matter of course, luxury and lavish clothes are immoral. A “practical Christianity” is realized in Christian love and charity, science and technology are subject to ethical goals and serve the well-being of people.

Andreae's utopia is primarily educational . Among other things, he established the following basic rules for dealing with students:

  • Don't teach young people what to do in a foreign language.
  • Do not teach the youth what they cannot understand and what they cannot judge.
  • In class, only deal with what is appropriate for the respective age and is within his or her perspective.
  • There must not be too much variety and variety in the learning business, because that makes the minds scattered and confused when they are split up by different things.
  • Not isolated, accumulated, but sensible knowledge helps, as it is more than certain that such untimely emotional acuity can easily become so dull that it will step out of the furrows throughout your life. "
  • Clarity is important for teaching. Andreae influenced his friend Johann Amos Comenius , who became famous through his book Orbis sensualium pictus, with the plea for pictorial thinking and object lessons .

Rosicrucian legend

Andreae's contribution to the creation of the Rosicrucian legend is controversial. The research largely agrees that he is the creator of the myth of the Rosicrucians with the figure Christian Rosencreutz and his order. The basic idea of ​​the order was that leading scientists form an active society together so that science, Christianity and ethics do not fall apart. Christian Rosencreutz's name and symbol are based on the Andreaesche family coat of arms, the figure itself unites traits of Martin Luther , Paracelsus and the scientifically authoritative philosophers of antiquity .

In research it is discussed that although Andreae contributed to the myth, the announcement of a Reformation in his story Chymische Hochzeit should not be understood as a program. In later years Andreae distanced himself from his writing and openly mocked alchemy in treatises such as B. Fama fraternitatis and counted them next to music, art, theater and astrology to the less serious sciences.

Pioneer of the Kabbalistic teaching board in Teinach

Especially through his work Ein Geistlich Gemäld , published in Tübingen under the pseudonym Huldrich StarckMann in 1615 , through his occupation with the biblical summaries, with the doctrine of virtue , the encyclopedic structure and the emblematic , Andreae influenced the environment of Princess Antonia of Württemberg (1613–1679) and thus paved the way for the Kabbalistic school chart , which was completed as a foundation of the princess in 1663 and set up in 1673 in the Trinity Church in Teinach .

Sermons, writings, songs

In his ten years in Stuttgart, Andreae gave over 1,000 sermons, 205 of which were about Paul's first letter to the Corinthians . His writings (more than a hundred are known) presented a comprehensive program of reform for the Church and society, including: a. he campaigned for the introduction of modern foreign languages, natural sciences and gymnastics in schools. But the subject of the writings is also Andreae's repeated complaint about the resistance that the spiritual and secular rulers put against him in his efforts to realize a Christian life and to enforce church discipline.

Andreae is the author of the hymn With joy I want to sing in this morning hour , which can be found as EG 663 in the Evangelical Hymnbook (regional part Württemberg).
