Life

After attending school in Breslau, Pollio studied in Frankfurt / Oder and Wittenberg . As a pupil of Philipp Melanchthon , he was appointed teacher at the Elisabethanum and preacher at the Church of St. Jerome by the Council of Breslau in 1562 . After he had attracted attention mainly through his preaching activities, the Breslau Council provided him with a scholarship to further study theology in Leipzig . Subsequently, in 1656 he was appointed the fourth deacon of the Elisabethkirche in Breslau. As early as 1567 he took up the first pastor's position at the Magdalenenkirche , where he stayed until his death.

Lucas Pollio was married to Martha Georgius, daughter of Senator Joachim Georgius in Breslau. The two sons Joachim (since 1618 successor to his father's office at the Magdalenenkirche in Breslau) and Lucas Pollio (electoral personal physician in Berlin) come from their sixteen-year marriage .
