Scraping foundation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Schabbelstiftung , also known as the Schabbel scholarship foundation , was one of the most important civil scholarship foundations in Germany until the early 20th century. It is to be distinguished from the foundation of the master confectioner Heinrich Schabbel for the establishment of the Schabbelhaus .

history

The foundation was established on December 20, 1637 by Heinrich Schabbel (1565–1639), a wealthy, unmarried and childless merchant and citizen in Hamburg . He was encouraged to do this by his brother, the Lübeck Syndicus Hieronymus Schabbel , and the Lübeck superintendent Nikolaus Hunnius . Schabbel had previously awarded a scholarship to individual theology students, for example to Aegidius Ernst Hunnius (1614–1634), the son of the superintendent, who died as a student in Konigsberg in 1634 as a result of an attack.

From the interest on the capital, four scholarships were awarded annually to students of Protestant theology . They were tied to certain study locations ("where even the pure Word of God is taught according to the Augspurgische Confession and Formula Concordiae ") and certificates of achievement, and it was expected that the scholarship holders would later take on leading church offices in northern Germany. The scholarship was also open to non-residents. The rules of the foundation made the scholarship holders very precise, obliged them to concentrate strictly on the theological subjects and to avoid fencing, games, feasts and dance. At the end of their studies they were obliged "to show the good application they had done by means of a printed theological treatise."

The first administrator was the founder's nephew, Wismar's mayor Heinrich Schabbel . After his death in 1677, the administration of the Schabbel scholarship was relocated to Lübeck, since relatives of the founder lived there, the Lübeck mayor David Gloxin , the husband of Heinrich Schabbel's sister Anna, and after him his son Anton Heinrich Gloxin .

In 1737 the 100th anniversary could be celebrated. This took place with a ceremony in the auditorium of the Katharineum and a speech by the rector Johann Henrich von Seelen, which was later also printed . The administrator of the foundation at that time was Councilor Georg Heinrich Gercken ; Scholarship recipients were Immanuel Ernst Hahn from Dresden in Wittenberg and, following him, Ernst Friedrich Wernsdorf , in Rostock Johann Heinrich Burgmann and Zacharias David Schulemann, who returned to Rostock from Jena in 1737 and became a master's degree here, and Erich Simon Heinrich von Seelen, a son of the rector. The scholarship holders honored the anniversary with disputations at their study locations.

In 1896 the endowment fund was around 104,000 marks . As before, four scholarships for theologians were awarded, each worth 800 marks. The amounts were increased or decreased depending on the interest rate and paid out every six months. Any partial sums of the scholarship amounts that became available due to the completion of a scholarship were to be used for pious purposes (“ad pias causas”). Surpluses over the foundation income earmarked for scholarships could also be awarded to students of other faculties, namely philologists, for one-off scholarships. Relationship with the founder established a preferential right to enjoyment. The foundation was administered on behalf of the Senate by the "Central Arms Deputation".

As a result of the inflation of the 1920s, the foundation was closed in 1929. Your documents (52 files) are kept in the archive of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck . The letters and study reports from August Hermann Francke to Anton Heinrich Gloxin contained therein have been digitized.
