Ludwig Josef Uhland
Ludwig Josef Uhland (born May 15, 1722 in Tübingen , † December 15, 1803 there ), the grandfather of the poet Ludwig Uhland , was a Protestant theologian from Württemberg.
Live and act
Ludwig Josef Uhland was the son of the wealthy businessman Josef Uhland and his wife Marie Rosine Uhland nee. Schnürlin. He passed the theological exam with distinction in 1744. He was appointed deacon in Marbach am Neckar in 1749 and married Gottliebin Stäudlin, a daughter of the landscape occupant JJ Stäudlin. In 1754 he became the second deacon at the Tübingen collegiate church . In 1761 he became professor of history in Tübingen, where he taught universal and Württemberg history, chronology and the constitution. In 1772 he became Ephorus of the pen and in 1776 associate professor of theology. In 1777 he became a full professor and third early preacher and second superattendent of the Tübingen monastery.
He was regarded as docile and hardworking, but dry and very diffuse. He was a pedantic, somewhat angular, and clumsy scholar who clung to the antiquated nature of the most detailed exegesis and had little influence on his students, although they respected his venerable personality. Uhland did not stand out as a writer and only published a few dissertations and occasional papers on the history of Württemberg.
