Paul Cherler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Cherler (born February 2, 1541 in Göttendorf , † 1600 in Binzen ) was a Protestant pastor and poet.

Life

From 1550 to 1554 Paul Cherler attended the Elsterberg Latin School with the teachers Johannes Struthuis and Paulus Gebhard. Then he went to the local Latin school in Neustadt an der Orla with the teacher Christophorus Blumenreder. Shortly after Whitsun 1559 he moved to Strasbourg and lived in the house of the Lutheran Johannes Marbach , where he taught his sons Philipp and Erasmus and attended grammar school. On January 1, 1562, Christian Mylius published a print of his poems in Strasbourg. From September 10th, 1562 years of study in Basel, October 26th, 1563 Baccalaureus, 1565 Magister. In April 1564 a collection of poems by Paul Cherler was printed at Oporin in Basel. Basel teachers were Heinrich Pantaleon , Christian Wurstisen , Simon Sulzer and Sebastian Castellio . Among his works was a book about the life of Jesus, which he dedicated to the Durlach Hereditary Prince Albrecht. In 1564 he fled from the plague that raged in Basel to the Markgräflerland in Ötlingen. He wrote obituaries for a number of plague victims from Basel and the Markgräflerland (e.g. Thomas Grynaeus ). On January 19, 1566, after his trial sermon on April 29, 1565, he became pastor in Binzen. On the death of Margrave Charles II (1577), Cherler wrote a funeral address that was printed in Basel.

In the dispute over the acceptance of the concord formula in the margraviate of Baden-Durlach (1577), Cherler and the majority of pastors in the dioceses of Rötteln and Schopfheim opposed the formula and only signed the formula under pressure with a reservation. Since a meeting of the opposition pastors took place in Binzen after the unsuccessful Röttler Synod of October 29, 1577, he was also considered one of the spokesmen (see also the history of the Reformation in Markgräflerland ). His expectation of an appointment as superintendent, which was later expressed in letters, was probably not due to this attitude. He remained a pastor in Binzen from 1565 to 1600.

Two Messiads are considered the most important works . Cherler was also a co-author of a number of papers. Cherler wrote his works almost exclusively in Latin, with which he only addressed the target group of the educated classes. This certainly contributed to the fact that it was forgotten despite a large number of writings.

Origin, marriage and offspring

His mother Anna Cherler, b. After the early death of Paul's father, Otler married a butcher in Elsterberg. Cherler was exempted from paying fees by the University of Basel , from which it is deduced that he comes from a humble background. He married Elisabeth Bauhin on October 28, 1565, a daughter of the French doctor Jean Bauhin with whom he had 17 children (8 sons and 9 daughters).

The doctor and botanist Johann Heinrich Cherler was a son of Paul Cherler.
