from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Valentin Löw (e) also Lew or Leo , (* 1572 in Adorf ; † 1630 in Kürbitz ) was a German Lutheran theologian , pastor in Neudek and Kürbitz, archdeacon of Eger .

Life

Löwe was born the son of a shoemaker in Adorf in Vogtland . After attending the Latin school in the Bohemian Schlaggenwald , he studied at the University of Leipzig in 1590 , where he temporarily worked as a private tutor for the family of councilor Anton Unruher and in 1594 at the University of Wittenberg . In 1594 he was ordained as a pastor in the Bohemian town of Lead . There he married a bourgeois daughter from Falkenau. After five years of service, after falling out with the congregation, he left Lead City to take up a pastor's position in Neudek around 1599, where he was called an “excellent registry manager”. In 1609 he gave a funeral sermon for the Swiss painter Joseph Heintz the Elder and in 1614 for Friedrich Colonna Freiherr zu Vels . On October 18, 1624, he performed his last child baptism in Neudek, after which the local parish church had already been closed to him and entry into the church was forbidden. He was then driven out of the city by the imperial troops. From 1624 he was pastor in Karlsbad . On November 30, 1627 he was introduced to Eger as the new archdeacon by his acquaintance, the superintendent Johann Hofstätter. When all the Protestant clergy had to leave Eger on September 28, 1628, Löw went to the Franconian Wunsiedel . Most recently he was pastor in Kürbitz near Plauen , where he was "famous for the power of his speech" and died in 1630. His portrait epitaph from 1631 with the signature PK is attributed to the Schleiz painter Paul Keil .
