Lucas Bacmeister (theologian, 1605)

Lucas Bacmeister , also Lukas Bacmeister , Lucas III. Bacmeister (* 1605 in Rostock ; † February 1679 ibid) was a German Lutheran theologian .

Life

Lucas Bacmeister was born as the son of a Lutheran theologian of the same name and his wife Elisabeth Papke. In the 1620s he studied with Höpfner at the University of Leipzig , in the next decade at the University of Wittenberg with Johann Hülsemann , Wilhelm Leyser , Paul Röber and Martini. He had also studied at the universities of Rostock , Erfurt and Jena . Bacmeister appointed the latter a Magister artium in 1632 .

On February 8, 1635, the University of Rostock hired him as a full princely professor of theology. He owed the professorship to his father. He had made sure that his son received it after he had already clothed it. With the professorship he continued the theological tradition of the family in the 17th century. In that year Bacmeister also married Dorothea Sasse, daughter of the logic professor Peter Sasse.

Bacmeister was not significant at the university because he did not have a doctorate and was therefore not a member of the council or faculty . In addition, he was not allowed to live in the dean . However, this gave him the opportunity to sometimes act as an independent mediator in disputes between groups of professors.

In 1673 Bacmeister became senior of the princely professorial college. This year, however, he was retired because of his age . In February 1679 he died in Rostock in his 75th year.
