Philipp Ludwig Hanneken

Philipp Ludwig Hanneken (born June 5, 1637 in Marburg , † January 16, 1706 in Wittenberg ) was a German Lutheran theologian.

Life

Born as the son of the professor of oriental languages Menno Hanneken and his wife Justina Elonora, a daughter of the Giessen professor Balthasar Mentzer the Elder , he enjoyed his father's upbringing and hired private teacher until he was eight. When his father became superintendent in Lübeck , Philipp Ludwig moved into the Katharineum and learned the Latin and Greek languages ​​there within ten years.

Education

In 1657 he enrolled at the University of Giessen and initially devoted himself to philosophical studies, but was also interested in theology and had a respected teacher in Peter Haberkorn . In the summer semester of 1660 he moved to the University of Leipzig , then in the winter semester on October 17, 1660 he went to the University of Wittenberg , where he studied with Abraham Calov and Johann Meisner . With Meisner he was accepted into his house and in October 1661 went to the University of Rostock , where he undertook further studies with Johann Quistorp the Younger and Matthias Wasmuth .

Professorship in Giessen

When he returned to Giessen he received from Landgrave Ludwig VI. von Hessen Darmstadt took the position of a full professor of rhetoric in 1663 and four years later he became an assessor in the Gießen University Consortium and thus received a professorship in theology, which he took up on October 28, 1667. Although Hanneken had never obtained the lower academic degree of a master's degree , he received his doctorate in theology in 1668 when he had given his inaugural disputation under Michael Siriciua with de absurdo dubitatationis . When Johann Nikolaus Misler died in 1683 , Hanneken took his place as the first professor and superintendent in Giessen.

Quarrel with Pietists

He could have remained in this office if there had not been a dispute with Johann Heinrich Majus in 1689 over the so-called "Collegia Pietatis". As a pietist, Majus prevailed over the orthodox Lutheran Hanneken: on the instructions of a princely commission, he was ordered not to speak publicly or in secret against the pietists, and Hanneken was sentenced to a fine.

Wittenberg

The outcome of the dispute prompted him to accept the appointment as full professor and consistorial assessor in Wittenberg. He administered this office until the end of his life. He participated in the disputes of the Wittenberg theological faculty with Philipp Jacob Spener against Pietism, with Adam Rechenberg because of Terminismi and other theologians. So he fought all sorts of doctrinal disputes, as can be seen from his works. After he had headed the university as rector in the winter semester of 1694 , he was buried in the Wittenberg town church after his death . Caspar Löscher gave him the funeral sermon and his children erected an epitaph for him and his wife in the town church .

In 1666 he married Magaretha Godelia Catharina (born June 13, 1651 in Gießen; † August 14, 1703 in Wittenberg), the daughter of a princely Hesse-Darmstadt land rent master and lawyer Andreas Hoffmann, from which marriage resulted in seven sons and two daughters. His eldest son Gregor Ludwig (1670-1737) was Fürstlicher Landkammerrat in Zerbst , his daughter Catarina Eleonora (born June 5, 1675 in Giessen, in Kemberg † 5 September 1720) married the Giessen professor and later Privy Councilor in Eutin Gregor Nitzsch be Son Balthasar Menno (1679–1766) became a doctor in Hamburg and took Balthasar Mentzer's only sister as his wife.
