Julius Friedrich Winzer (born July 30, 1778 in Chemnitz ; † February 24, 1845 in Leipzig ) was a German ethics professor and Protestant theologian .

Life

Winzer had enrolled on April 29, 1796 to study theology at the University of Leipzig . To this end, he disputed on February 27, 1800 for a Masters in Philosophy. In the same year he became vespers preacher at the university church , took up a position as an assistant teacher at the Knight Academy in Dresden in 1801 and switched to high school professor at the St. Afra state school in Meissen in 1802 . On October 13, 1809, he was habilitated as an adjunct in the philosophical faculty of the University of Wittenberg and took over the professorship for ethics and politics that same year .

Winzer read about philosophical morals, academic testamentics with an encyclopedia of the sciences and written explanations. To this end, he mainly had the Latin language practiced. In his lectures he neglected the political statements linked to his chair, but precisely because of his outstanding theological knowledge he was given an extraordinary professorship at the theological faculty in 1810. In order to fulfill his duties at the theological faculty, however, it was requested that he should acquire the necessary academic degrees. To this end, he received his doctorate in theology on July 30, 1812 and, as the successor to Heinrich August Schott (1780-1835), took over the full fourth chair at the Faculty of Theology in 1813, as an Ephorus fellow.

Current affairs no longer gave winegrowers great opportunities to develop on the chair. As a result of the Wars of Liberation , Wittenberg was caught in the crossfire of military conflicts in 1813. As large parts of the city were destroyed, the majority of the university's academic staff first fled to Kemberg , which was on a heavily frequented road, which is why the university continued to operate in Schmiedeberg . Here one endured with little academic activity and waited for the things to come. At that time, Winzer took over the rectorate of the university in the winter semester of 1814 . After all, as an ally of Napoleon , Saxony had suffered a defeat. The Saxon areas around Wittenberg came to Prussia through the Congress of Vienna . After specialist consultations, it was decided to merge the University of Halle and the Wittenberg University. Thus, on April 12, 1815, the new University of Halle-Wittenberg was established.

Some of the university teachers looked for a new existence in other places. Together with Karl Klien and Karl Heinrich Pölitz , Winzer went to the University of Leipzig as a full professor of Old and New Testament exegesis after he married Friedericke Julie, the daughter of the Wittenberg mayor Johann Christian Franke, in Lichtenburg that same month. There he became canon in Leipzig in 1818 and in the summer semester of 1831 he managed the Leipzig rectorate of the Alma Mater . Winzer was considered a respectful and dignified theologian of rationalism . His preference was for the book Kohelet , which he dealt with especially in his lectures in Leipzig. In addition to the publication of the Pentateuch, translated from Hebrew into Latin by Schott (Altona 1815), his Commentatio de loco Kobel deserves special mention.
