Thomas Wegelin

Thomas Wegelin (also Vögelin ; * December 21, 1577 in Augsburg ; † March 16, 1629 in Strasbourg ) was a German Lutheran theologian and university professor .

Life

Wegelin was born the son of Michael Wegelin, a citizen of Augsburg, and his wife Regina (née Vorin). His father seems to have promoted the education of his children in a very devoted way, because Thomas Wegelin's brother, Johann Wegelin, later became a pastor in Augsburg. He attended high school in Augsburg . He then went to the University of Wittenberg in 1596 , where he received his master's degree in 1599 . Obviously the plague raging in Wittenberg forced him to return to his homeland in 1600. In the same year he received a position as the fourth teacher at the Regensburg high school . In 1604 he went to Austria as Hofmeister and on to Strasbourg . On April 17, 1608 he entered the University of Tuebingen , on 22 June 1608 where he became Dr. theol. received his doctorate .

Allegedly Wegelin is said to have received a professorship in history in Tübingen, which is not tenable based on the Tübingen matriculation. In 1611 Margrave Georg Friedrich von Baden appointed him as a deacon in Pforzheim . From 1618 he held the office of city pastor in Durlach, he was also given the management of the Illustre grammar school there and he held lectures as a theological grammar school professor. In 1623 he was appointed professor of theology at the University of Strasbourg to succeed Johannes Gisenius . There he became president of the church convention and rector of the university in the same year . He also held the deanery of the theological faculty in 1623, 1624, 1626 and 1627 .
