Life
Samuel Bachmann was the son of Niklaus Bachmann (* May 1, 1594 in Bern; † 1656), Schultheiss von Thun and his second wife Katharina Bullinger (* January 1596 in Bern; † after 1638). In 1651 he enrolled to study theology at the high school in Bern, which he later continued at the University of Heidelberg . In 1662 he became pastor in Ferenbalm and in 1669 in Burgdorf . In 1672 he came to the Bern Minster as a helper and in 1673 wrote his book Rituale ecclesiae Bernensis , a detailed list of the church customs in Bern at that time. He was appointed pastor at Bern Minster in 1691 and dean in 1696 . He was a member of the Religious Commission, which consisted of four members each from the Small and Large Councils as well as three clergymen and the first professor of theology, which examined the pietism that was spreading in Bern . The results of the commission led to the Bernese Pietist Trial from 1698 to 1699, after which several pastors and preachers were dismissed and Samuel Heinrich König lost his citizenship and was expelled from the country. Samuel Bachmann was a supporter of Rudolf Gwalther , Andreas Musculus and Johannes Calvin , as a representative of the second generation of reforms and showed himself uncompromisingly orthodox and was one of the sharpest opponents of Pietism in Bern, because he believed that the Anabaptist movement from the outside and the church the Pietists threatened them from within. He suffered a stroke in the pulpit on January 25, 1703 and was released shortly afterwards from the field service and the official duties of the deanery for health reasons.
Samuel Bachmann was married to Maria (* around 1641 in Bern; † after 1670), daughter of the historian and translator Anton Stettler (1587–1648) , since March 13, 1663 . Together they had their son of the same name, Samuel Bachmann, who was born around 1670.
