Michael Havemann
Michael Havemann (born September 29, 1597 in Bremervörde ; † January 24, 1672 ) was a German Lutheran theologian and general superintendent of the General Diocese of Bremen-Verden in Stade .
Life
The son of the archbishop's attorney Bernhard Havemann attended school in Stade and the grammar school in Hamburg before moving to the University of Rostock to study . On May 23, 1620 he received the degree of master's degree there. In 1624 Havemann became vice rector and lecturer in philosophy and mathematics, and a year later rector at the illustrious grammar school in Stade. In 1626 he became the first pastor at St. Cosmae and Damiani in Stade, in 1628 a senior in the ministry of the clergy. In 1629 he had to flee to Hamburg from the troops of the Catholic League . On April 5, 1630 he was by Count Ulrich von Ostfriesland to the north called and there in 1631 director and professor of the newly established school . After the withdrawal of the imperial troops, he returned to Stade in 1632. When a Lutheran consistory was set up for the states of Bremen and Verden (see General Diocese of Bremen-Verden ), Havemann was appointed the first general superintendent on September 2, 1651 . In 1658 he introduced a new catechism, which triggered sharp protest, which he carried out publicly and polemically, especially with the Stade consistorial councilor Jakob Hackmann (see history of the Bremen-Verdean catechism ).
His son Bernhard Havemann (1625–1691) became the first Lutheran pastor in Flögeln in 1659 against the opposition of the congregation . The younger son Michael the Younger (1630–1684) became pastor in Stade and then rector in Bremen.
