Michael Friedrich Quade

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Friedrich Quade (born July 28, 1682 in Zachan in Western Pomerania , † July 11, 1757 in Stettin ) was a German Protestant theologian and schoolboy .

Quade, son of Pastor Michael Quade (1649–1729), received his first lessons in a rectory in Stargard in Pomerania . When his teacher, Daniel Hindersinn, became principal of a school in Soldin in 1693, he went with him and in 1693 with him to Stolp . In 1687 he came to the Stargarder Gymnasium, but soon afterwards to the Kölln Gymnasium in Berlin and then to the Friedrichwerder Gymnasium there . From autumn 1700 he studied theology at the University of Wittenberg , and from September 1702 philosophy at the University of Greifswald . Here he was promoted by Johann Friedrich Mayer , who was President and Pro Chancellor in Greifswald , who gave him an administrative task in his library. Quade held this position for six years.

Quade accompanied Mayer on his educational trips to Poland , Saxony , Sweden and other countries and was able to establish numerous scientific contacts in this way. After receiving his master's degree from the Philosophical Faculty on June 24, 1704, Quade, who also wrote poetry, was named a poet the next day by Mayer in his capacity as the imperial Count Palatine . In May 1706, Quade completed his habilitation at the Philosophical Faculty with the writing De viris statura parvis, eruditione maguis . Quade is said to have been of short stature. On August 31, 1706 he was awarded the theological baccalaureate . In August 1708 Quade opened lectures at the Theological Faculty with the dissertation De Dionysio Areopagita scriptisque eidem oppositis . In 1710 he was appointed adjunct of the theological faculty.

At the end of 1715 Quade left the University of Greifswald and took over the rectorate of the Academic Gymnasium Stettin on January 1, 1716 , where he also received a professorship for philosophy and style. The title of his inaugural address was: De amico et individuo eruditionis iuxta ac pietatis nexu . In this teaching post he was active until 1754. He remained the rector of the gymnasium - as the last permanent rector - until his death in 1757.

Quade was best known for a pamphlet with which he participated in a feud about the 'honor of Pomerania'. Among his students in Szczecin was Ewald Friedrich von Hertzberg , who later became an important Prussian statesman under Friedrich II and Friedrich Wilhelm II .
