Life
Widar Ziehnert was a son of the rector and first hospital preacher in Königsbrück, Johann Gottlieb Ziehnert (1780–1856) and his wife Johanne Christiane geb. Bowl from Leipzig. Widar's father officiated as pastor from 1816 in Großenhain and from 1828 in Schlettau in the Ore Mountains. The young pastor's son enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1832 to study Protestant theology. In 1836 he passed the exam in Leipzig.
