Wilhelm Heinrich Schultze

Wilhelm Heinrich Schultze (born March 24, 1724 in Großkochberg , † March 16, 1790 in Weimar ) was a German Protestant clergyman.

Life

Wilhelm Heinrich Schultze was born the son of a preacher.

He attended school in Blankenhain and then prepared for theology studies at the grammar school in Rudolstadt and the grammar school Gotha .

In 1741 he began his studies at the University of Jena and returned to his father's house after its completion. He found employment as a private tutor in Weimar, where he was made a candidate and, in 1754, elected preacher. In 1763 he became the second deacon in the Jakobskirche , which became the court church after the fire in Weimar Castle in 1774 and he was thus court deacon. In 1773 he was promoted to Assesor at the Upper Consistory and on August 17, 1776 to the Upper Consistorial Council.

He became a member of the alms deputation and the deputation on the orphanage, until in 1784 he was commissioned by the Duke to draw up a plan according to which the children should live with different residents instead of placing them together in one house. His proposals for this were approved and he was given the supervision of the execution and subsequent control. He was appointed orphanage inspector and after a few weeks all the children were placed with foster parents. He was then instructed to do the same with the Jena orphanage. The financial situation of both orphanages improved, so that over time more children could be taken in. When it began, there were 33 children in the Weimar orphanage and 15 children in the Jena orphanage; at his death there were 65 children in Weimar and 30 children in Jena.

He was privately engaged in beekeeping and published a publication on it that was published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch . In the last years of his life he also worked on the compilation of statistics according to Johann Peter Süßmilch for the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar .

Wilhelm Heinrich Schultze was married to Friederike Wilhelmine Crudelius and had several children. His daughter Charlotte Friederike Schultze (born January 11, 1775 in Weimar, † April 23, 1856 in Jena) married the theologian and church historian Johann Traugott Leberecht Danz .
