Samuel Buchholtz (born September 21, 1717 in Pritzwalk , † April 29, 1774 in Kremmen ) was a German Lutheran theologian and historian.

Life

Buchholtz was a younger son of the deacon, later archdeacon Johann (II.) Buchholtz (1682–1769) in Pritzwalk and the daughter of the citizen Elisabeth, born in Leipzig . Hensel (1690-1747). He grew up with eleven siblings, attended schools in Pritzwalk and Wittstock / Dosse , from 1735 high school at the Gray Monastery in Berlin. From 1738 he studied theology at the University of Halle . In 1744 he was vice rector in Werben (Elbe) , 1757–1759 rector of the cathedral school in Havelberg , 1760–1769 senior pastor at the town church of St. John in Lychen and then until his death senior pastor at St. Nikolai in Kremmen .

During his time in Werben, Bucholtz made contact with Johann Joachim Winckelmann , who at the time was deputy principal in Seehausen (Altmark) . His school and college friend from his times in Berlin and Halle, Gottlob Burchard Genzmer , who was Vice-Rector in Havelberg at that time, where a brother of Buchholtz was also active as a cantor , was involved in this circle and the correspondence . At the suggestion of Genzmer, who soon became the prince tutor of the ducal house of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in Mirow , Buchholtz wrote his first work in 1753, a history of the Duchy of Mecklenburg. After a few more occasional writings he turned to the history of Brandenburg, which appeared as his main work as the history of the Kurmark Brandenburg from the oldest times to the Hubertusburg Peace (6 volumes, 1765–1775), the last two volumes published postmortem by Johann Friedrich Heynatz .

Buchholtz was attendee of the 1766 chaired by Joachim Georg Darjes founded "Royal learned [n] society for the benefit of Sciences and Arts" to Frankfurt (Oder).

The lifelong correspondence between the learned friends Buchholtz and Genzmer was intended for printing according to a communication from Heynatz in the preface to the 5th volume of the history of the Kurmark under the title Critical Letters from the Areas on the Belt , but never appeared. The estates of both are now considered lost.
