from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Jacob Bagewitz , also Bagevitz (born September 12, 1699 in Stralsund , † November 1, 1763 in Anklam ), was a German Protestant theologian and song writer.

Life

Michael Jacob Bagewitz came from the Pomeranian noble family von Bagewitz , who were especially wealthy on the island of Rügen . From Easter 1720 he studied at the University of Rostock , where he appeared in October of the same year as a respondent to a disputation chaired by Anders Berg (1693-1750). In July 1723 he moved to the University of Halle . Here he graduated with a master's degree and worked as an informator .

From Halle he began to be interested in the Moravian Brethren . On April 5, 1730 he came to Herrnhut for the first time with Friedrich Christoph Oetinger . In 1731/32 he worked at the grammar school in Stettin. In 1734 he moved entirely to Herrnhut. In the same year he married Magdalena von Reibnitz , the maid of the Countess Erdmuthe Dorothea von Zinzendorf . In 1736 he was put on record at the orphanage in Herrnhut as one of the “ teachers who did not expressly acknowledge the Augsburg Confession ”. In 1737 he left Herrnhut. From 1743 to 1746 he lived in Herrnhaag . Then he worked as a teacher in Berthelsdorf . In 1748 a scandal broke out when a father, Johann Georg Kahle, accused him of “ pederasty and sodomite sins ” with his nine-year-old son.

Bagewitz was released from the Brethren, left Saxony and returned to Pomerania. According to Leopold von Zedlitz-Neukirch , he was known here as "a connoisseur and promoter of science and a trusted friend of the famous General-Field Marshal von Schwerin ".

Of his sacred song poems, “ I will dare to promise myself to the Lamb ” found its way into the hymnbook of the Brethren from 1735 and later editions.
