Samuel Strimesius (also: Strimes ; * February 2, 1648 in Königsberg (Prussia) ; † January 28, 1730 in Frankfurt (Oder) ) was a German physicist and Reformed theologian .

Life

The son of the Utrecht merchant Johann Strimes and his wife, Regina Pettke from London, had attended the city school in his hometown and the Joachimsthal High School in Berlin. In 1667 he began studying theology at the University of Frankfurt (Oder) . During his training he achieved such outstanding achievements that the philosophy faculty in Frankfurt an der Oder gave him a letter of recommendation for Elector Friedrich Wilhelm (the Great Elector) to bind him to a chair . However, he first wanted to travel to England.

He took this up and spent the longest time in Cambridge and Oxford . He was with the English philosopher Ralph Cudworth (1617–1688), the theologians Johann Spencer (1630–1693), Heinrich More (1614–1687), the Bishops John Fell (1625–1686) and Thomas Barlow (1607–1691) and became known to other eminent scholars. In London he met the theologians John Robert Tillotson (1630–1694) and Edward Stillingfleet (1635–1699) and the philosopher Richard Cumberland (1631–1718). When Strimesius arrived in Frankfurt on the Oder on his return journey, he was given an extraordinary professorship in philosophy there in October 1674 , six months later he became a full professor of physics and received his master's degree .

In 1679 he became the first pastor at the Nicolaikirche in Frankfurt and associate professor of theology. When he was to receive a full theological professorship in 1687, he advocated that the teaching post should be given to Johann Christoph Beckmann , since he had fairer claims to such a promotion. After Beckmann took over this office in 1690, Strimesius moved to the full professorship of theology in 1696 and became a doctor of theology in the same year. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Frankfurt University and was rector in the summer semesters 1682 and 1699, and in the winter semesters 1688 and 1694 . In 1705 he was Vice Rector of the Alma Mater . In later years he went blind and died of stone pain at the age of eighty-two .

The later Königsberg professor of history Johann Samuel Strimesius (1684–1744) comes from his marriage .

Act

The Ireniker Strimesius had an Association of Reformed and Lutheran Church sought. He had made this clear in his writings. In doing so, he met the Lutheran view. However, his efforts were unsuccessful because he refused to accept the dogmas of the Lutheran Church.
