Michael Nestius

Michael Nestius (* 1721 in Swantow on Rügen , † 1794 in Bergen on Rügen ) was a German Protestant clergyman.

Life

Michael Nestius was the son of Jakob Nestius (1691–1766), pastor in Swantow,

In 1751, after having worked for some time in Trent in the Church of St. Catherine , he was called to Bergen as a deacon. In 1782 he became Praepositus in Bergen and held this office until his death.

In 1751 he married Marianne Dorothea, the sister of the provost Hermann Andreas Pistorius and thus also brother-in-law of Johann Joachim Spalding . They had two children:

Gottlieb Brandanus Nestius, who later also became provost in Bergen.
Maria Nestius (1768–1845) ran a private school in Bergen.

Trivia

A portrait of his father hangs in the St. Catherine's Church in Trenter, from whom the overall concept of the altar came.

Honors

On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the University of Greifswald , he was awarded the master's degree in philosophy in 1756 .
Due to his commitment during the Seven Years' War in 1758, when 405 people died in Bergen, often on the Ruhr , the royal government thanked him with a gift of money.
