from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Daniel Freyberg (born June 7, 1728 in Dresden , † May 1, 1802 in Wittenberg ) was a German historian and physicist.

Life

Born as the son of Mayor Karl Samuel Freyberg, he was enrolled at the University of Wittenberg on May 5, 1747 , acquired the degree of Master of Philosophy on October 17, 1749 and switched to the University of Leipzig on October 26, 1751 . After he returned to Wittenberg on February 27, 1752, after he had obtained his teaching license as Magister Legens and had written works on the history of the Reformation , he became an adjunct at the Faculty of Philosophy in the same year and obtained the baccalaureate in theology in the winter semester of 1753 .

Shortly afterwards he became an associate professor of antiquities, having been proposed as early as 1758, on February 20, 1760, he became a full professor of logic and metaphysics and was thus accepted into the academic senate of the philosophical faculty. Since he no longer held lectures from 1782 for health reasons, presumably because of his mental illness, although he announced them, he was suspended from his earnings as a professor in 1792. Nevertheless, he got back to the same and after he had already held the rectorate of the Wittenberg University in the summer semester of 1772 , he also took over this in the summer semester of 1798.
