Peter Lackmann (Pastor)
Peter Lackmann , also Lakemann (born February 16, 1659 in Lübeck , † October 17, 1713 in Oldenburg in Holstein ) was a German Protestant theologian and poet of sacred songs .
Life
The son of the merchant, senior man of the mountain drivers and councilor Peter Lackmann visited the Katharineum in Lübeck under Abraham Hinkelmann . Here he acquired the qualification to complete a university degree. He attended the universities of Rostock (1677), Helmstedt , Jena , Wittenberg (1680) and Leipzig . As a theology student in Leipzig, he was a friend of August Hermann Francke . At Easter 1684 he passed the theological exam in Hamburg . During a visit from his brother-in-law, the court preacher August Kummer in Bergen, Norway , he found a job as cabinet and travel preacher of Baron Gustav Wilhelm von Wedel (1641-1717). However, he only stayed in this office for a year. After his return he was pastor in Wehningen , in 1695 he became chief pastor at the St. Johannis town church in Oldenburg in Holstein , which he remained until the end of his life.
His son was the historian Adam Heinrich Lackmann (1694–1754).
Act
From Lübeck, Lackmann made the acquaintance of the radical Pietist Superintendent Johann Wilhelm Petersen in Eutin and became friends with him. In Petersen's defense he wrote Millenarii sancti immota veritas , 1692 under the pseudonym P. Christiani. The Lübeck superintendent August Pfeiffer opposed the unchristian P. Christiani, that is, the handling of a masked chiliast . Lackmann also wrote a pietistic declaration of Solomon's Song of Songs . From his spiritual songs, his dissolving spirit in Jesus' wounds was recorded in the Halle hymnal in 1697 . In 1837 Albert Knapp revised the songs On suffering follows the glory and Rise up for my soul and included them in his treasure trove of songs. Furthermore, the songs are Oh what are we without Jesus , Death to life for us , Because I rise , thank God the day is now complete and the highest lust and heartfelt pleasure is known. His son Adam Hermann Lackmann published these in his anthology Spiritual poems to awaken sacred emotions (Hamburg 1730, 2nd edition).
