Life

Schröter was the son of Mayor Peter Schröter and his wife Gertrud Dietz. He initially attended school in Weimar and then the Domgymnasium in Naumburg . In 1533 he began studying Humaniora at the University of Wittenberg . Here he attended the lectures of Martin Luther , Philipp Melanchthon , Erasmus Reinhold and Jacob Milich .

On December 28, 1541, he returned to the University of Wittenberg and began studying medicine, which he briefly interrupted to accept a position as rector of the rural school in Vienna. In Wittenberg on April 16, 1545 he acquired the degree of a master's degree in philosophy. In 1549 he continued his medical studies at the University of Padua .

Shortly afterwards he received a chair for medicine in Vienna and was imperial personal physician. In 1554 Schröter was called to the bedside of the Saxon Elector Johann Friedrich I as a consulting doctor , but when he arrived he was no longer among the living. Then Duke Johann Friedrich II. Von Sachsen-Weimar appointed him on October 1, 1554 as his personal physician and professor of medicine at the grammar school in Jena. In 1557 he was given the task of submitting the university statutes of the Jena University to Kaiser Ferdinand for approval. Since the University of Jena was advertised as a Protestant university, this only denied the theological faculty the right to award doctorates and issued the confirmation certificate on August 15, 1557. As a university lecturer at Salana, he also took part in the organizational tasks of the Jena University. On February 2, 1558, he became the founding rector as a paladin and was rector of the Alma Mater in the summer semesters 1564, 1573, and in the winter semesters 1561, 1564, 1568, 1573, 1582 and 1588 .

"S. was considered one of the most astute diagnosticians. "

He was given an epitaph in St. Michael . The founding of the botanical garden in Jena in 1586 goes back to his initiative. A portrait of Schröters hangs in the professors' gallery of the university in the Kollegienhof in Jena, as well as that of two of his sons, who also became professors at the university.
