Peter Friedrich Arpe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Friedrich Arpe (born May 10, 1682 in Kiel , † November 4, 1740 in Schwerin ) also Petrus Fridericus Arpius was a lawyer and author of numerous legal and historical works. He is considered the founder of extensive collections and manuscripts on the history of Schleswig-Holstein as well as "forbidden" theological writings.

Life

He was the son of a senator and later mayor. After attending grammar school in Lüneburg, he studied law in Kiel from 1699. After living in Copenhagen for some time, he accompanied a young Danish count to the Rudolph-Antoniana Knight Academy in Wolfenbüttel . Between 1712 and 1716 he lived in Holland and then returned to Kiel. There he received a position as professor of public and patriotic law in 1721. This created a friendly relationship with his colleagues Franz Ernst Vogt and Johann Heinrich Heubel . Competition in terms of content, which also resulted in a legal dispute, was experienced by Stephan Christoph von Harpprecht . As a result, Arpe was discredited at the court, which led to his dismissal in 1724. He then went to Hamburg and in 1729 became Legation Councilor in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttler. After the death of Duke August Wilhelm , he was released again in 1731. In 1733 he found employment as a legal advisor at the government chancellery in Schwerin.

He himself documented his writings in his " Feriae aestivales, sive scriptorum suorum historia " (1726). The initially only handwritten and anonymous work of the Kiel University Library: " The confused Cimbrien, in the strange biography of Mr. Henning Friedrich Count von Bassewitz ..." etc., was published in 1774 under the title: " History of the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorfischen Court and its most distinguished state servants "published. The work is regarded as an essential, because it is the only comprehensive, contemporary source on the history of Schleswig-Holstein and its connections to Russia at the time of Carl Friedrich , and contains numerous polemics because of the dismissal-related personal hostility to the then Privy Councilor at the Gottorfischer court, Henning Friedrich Graf von Bassewitz against this.
