Life

Peter Hermann Munzenberger was a son of the preacher to St. Jakobi Heinrich Caspar Munzenberger (1764-1831). He attended the Katharineum in Lübeck until he graduated from high school in 1822 and studied Protestant theology at the universities of Tübingen and Strasbourg . Johann Georg Dahler , a college friend of his father's, was his teacher in Strasbourg . His thesis from 1825 did not deal with a theological topic, but rather the question What is the novel? .

He returned to Lübeck as a candidate for the Ministry of Spiritual Affairs and in 1826 became a member of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities , where he repeatedly gave lectures until 1839. After a time as a teacher at the girls' school set up in Wehde , the predecessor of the Ernestine School , on February 3, 1832, he was appointed preacher ( archdeacon ) to St. Mary's . As such, he baptized Thomas Mann on July 11, 1875 .

Even later, Münzenberger ran an institute for training teachers and published textbooks in his official apartment . His geographical tables saw three editions until 1867.

In 1834 he founded the school teacher widow's fund . In the same year he was one of the founders of the toddler school . In 1837, with a lecture in the non-profit organization , he encouraged the establishment of a silkworm breeding facility in Lübeck, which, however, was unsuccessful.

On his 50th anniversary in office in 1882, the Senate honored him with the award of the Bene Merenti commemorative coin . In the same year he also received the golden medal of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities . In 1884 he retired. On April 20, 1884, Christian Reimpell gave an election sermon for the successor to the emeritus in St. Mary's Church. Johannes Becker was more successful .

Munzenberger was married to Emmy, b. Lukewarm. A son of the couple, Ferdinand Hermann Arnold (born August 3, 1846), became an architect. His godfather was Ferdinand Hirt , whom Münzenberger had financially supported in setting up his publishing bookstore in Breslau .
