from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf Balthasar Adolf von Steinwehr (born August 9, 1704 in Deetz, today Dziedzice near Soldin in Neumark, † April 4, 1771 in Frankfurt (Oder) ) was a German historian and legal scholar.

Life

Steinwehr began studying theology at the University of Wittenberg on May 18, 1722 . On April 29, 1724, he was promoted to a master's degree in philosophy, and on September 17, 1726, he acquired the title of master's degree, allowing him to teach at universities. On December 15, 1728 he became an adjunct of the philosophical faculty and in 1729 a full philosophical assessor at the Wittenberg University.

On May 17, 1732 he went to the University of Leipzig and worked there on the New Newspapers of Scholarship . In 1738 he became an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Göttingen , where in 1739 he took over the editing of the learned newspaper as the founder. After he married the writer Christiana Mariana von Ziegler in September 1741 , he moved to the University of Frankfurt (Oder) on November 21, 1741 as a full professor of history and natural and international law, became a royal Prussian court advisor and university librarian, and later professor of antiques. Since 1738 he was a foreign member of the Royal Prussian Society of Sciences .

Steinwehr also took part in the organizational tasks of the Frankfurt University and was rector of the Alma Mater in the winter semesters 1745 and 1749 and in 1756 and 1765 . Since Steinwehr had no natural descendants, he left the university with his fortune, which amounted to over 12,000 thalers. The proceeds from this sum were used to buy historical books and enriched the Frankfurt University Library.
