Konrad Schluesselburg

Konrad Schlüsselburg (born April 8, 1543 in Hessisch Oldendorf , † October 5, 1619 in Stralsund ) was a German Lutheran theologian .

Life

Schlüsselburg first attended schools in Paderborn and Braunschweig before studying in Wittenberg from 1565 . In 1568 he was expelled from the university shortly before the master’s examination because, as an Orthodox Lutheran, he had attacked the Philippists Caspar Peucer , Caspar Cruciger and Christoph Pezel .

Schliisselburg then moved to the University of Jena , where he obtained the academic degree of master's degree in 1569 . He then accompanied Johannes Wigand to Königsberg , where he was given a pastor's position in 1574 and married Anna Dresser , Wigand's sister-in-law and great-niece of Martin Luther .

Because of his attacks against the Samland bishop Tilemann Hesshus , he was deposed in 1579 and left Königsberg. Successively he held lectures at the University of Rostock in 1580 , held a pastor's position in Antwerp in 1581 , was court preacher in Gadebusch in 1582 and preached in 1583 at St. Mary's Church in Wismar . Through the mediation of his friend David Chyträus , the University of Wittenberg withdrew the condemnation pronounced in 1568 in 1586. In 1590 he became superintendent of the Ratzeburg bishopric , and in 1594 he became pastor of Stralsund. He received his doctorate from the theological faculty of the University of Jena.

In Stralsund, Schluesselburg remained a contentious theologian who did not avoid arguments and intervened in the dispute that was underway between the city and the Pomeranian dukes over the supervision of the church. In 1612 he gave a lecture on the life of Luther, which contributed to the creation of legends about the person of Luther. In 1618 he wrote the Stralsund consistorial order . He maintained close relationships with the bibliophile Ludolf von Münchhausen and his family.
