Maximilian Mörlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximilian Mörlin ( 14 October 1516, Wittenberg, Electorate of Saxony - 20 April 1584, Coburg, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Eisenach ) was a Lutheran theologian, court preacher, Superintendent in Coburg, and Reformer.

Life
Maximilian grew up with his older brother, Joachim Mörlin, as the sons of Jodok Mörlin ( Jodocus Morlinus, ca. 1490 - 1550 ), the Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wittenberg. After a harsh upbringing, when he learned the trade of a tailor, he switched to the profession of a scholar. Like his brother, he studied at Wittenberg in 1533 and came under the influence of Martin Luther and especially Philipp Melanchthon. From 1539, he was the pastor in Pegau and Zeitz and, after 1543, in Schalkau. On the recommendation of his teacher, he came to Coburg in 1544 as a court preacher ( Hofprediger ) and visited the city’s churches and schools on the behalf of the Duke of Saxony.

After Maximilian graduated in 1546 under Caspar Cruciger the Elder at Wittenberg to the rank of Doctor, he was appointed as a Superintendent. In the theological debates of the times, he was at first on the side of Matthias Flacius. He pursued the condemnation of Justus Menius, participated in the Colloquy of Worms in 1557 and wrote with and Johann Stössel the Weimarer Konfutationsbuch [ the Weimarer Book of Refutations ], which was mandatory for the Lutheran churches throughout Thuringia. The Duke of Saxony, John Frederick the Middle, also took him to Heidelberg to prevent his father-in-law, Frederick III the Pious, the Elector Palatinate of the Rhine, from going over to the Reformed side. The Heidelberger Abendmahlsgespräch [ Heidelberger Discussion of the Lord’s Supper ], with which Mörlin was involved on 3 and 4 July 1560, remained unsuccessful.

However, from the side of the Radicals, Flacius struck, distancing Mörlin from the Philippists. He fought against Andreas Osiander and helped in 1556 to enforce the Reformation to the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach on the behalf of its ruler, Charles II. As the Spiritual Assessor for the Consistory of Weimar, he pleaded in 1561 for peace with the terms of the mediating theologian Melanchthon. In Jena, he served in 1564 as the Pro-Chancellor and Vice-Dean in the first program for theological doctorates and upgraded Stössel’s academic degree from Magister to Doctor.

The next Duke of Saxony, John William, himself the supporter of Flacius, expelled Mörlin from the Duchy in 1569. A year later, Mörlin was appointed to Dillenburg and later Siegen, where he represented his side against the Reformed tendencies of the ruler, the Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, John VI, but without success. In 1573, he returned from Siegen to Coburg, where he was restored to his old offices. He dismissed the Gnesio-Lutherans and used his influence to add to the Formula Concordiae [ Formula of Concord ] and to contend with its effects.

Mörlin gained importance as a preacher and the representative of church administrators.

In 1581, he married for the second time. He was survived by twelve sons.

Here is the little biography of Peter Mörlin in two languages, with footnotes and maps.  Hufen have nothing to do with either hooves or linen.  They are farms — normal, regular, full-sized farms with crops, hay and pastures — but, to be fair, Peter would probably agree with you when he saw Lake Czarnen for the first time.  The lake is so far away from Königsberg — 84 miles either way — that it might as well be the summer home of the Dark Lord of the Hooves.

Here are the German and Latin transcription and the English translation of the Jubilee biography of Magister Stephan Mörlin.  Note what happened to his brother Joachim ; that is so like him to ignore the doctors.  The Historisches Lexicon Evangelischer Jubel-Priester also has a biography for Johann Christian Moerlin.  But he seems to be from a different family ; this family had been in Liegnitz since 1528.  He was born in Liegnitz, Silesia, the son of Deacon Johann Moerlin ( 1610 – 1667 ) and the father of Johann Christian Moerlin, another pastor, and Christian Gottfried Moerlin, the director of the Gymnasium Altenberg.

I discovered a "Joachim Mörlin from Coburg" who started a school career in Pforta on the 24.10.1573. At that time, one of the most well-founded schools in Protestant-German-speaking countries was prepared in preparation for the university in this princely school. Only very gifted boys were allowed to attend this school-free (!). Presumably, this Joachim is identical to the 1559 born Johann. A school start in Pforta at the age of 14 years could just fit. Otherwise only a son born before 1555 would be considered. But at least a 19-year-old would have visited the university. How much hope may the father have associated with these boys! But these do not seem to have been fulfilled. In contrast to other students, the Pforta educational institution did not write down anything about his future life in a later commemorative publication - so he did not gain any importance, nor did he become a pastor.

Notes:

I found this information about the Montanus family in a 1897 book.  This family had several letters preserved in the library and archives of the Gotha Gymnasium ( Gothae Gymnasialbibliothek ) so it was in a paper that was presented by the Oberlehrer [ Headteacher ] Dr Max [ Maximilian Carl ] Schneider ( 1858 – 1920, lifelong resident of Gotha ) on 9 April 1897 as the main part of the program for the festivities at the Ducal Gymnasium Ernestium in Gotha.  The title is “Die Gelehrtenbriefe der Gothae Gymnasialbibliothek aus dem XVI. und XVII. Jahrhundert [ The Letters of the Scholars at the Library of the Gotha Gymnasium from the 16th and 17th Centuries ]”.  I did look for Michael Buchenröder, the Mörlins and the Thomæs but I didn’t find any of them in the paper.  However, I did find “Sebaldus Krugk” of Coburg.   From page 16 :

Montanus, Johannes Erhartus, Magister, Pastor of Heldburg.  1 Letter :  Folio VI, Nr 112 ( 1604 ).
[ Born 1558 in Hildburghausen as son of the Archdeacon, was 1582 – 1587 Deacon at St Margaretha’s Church in Gotha, 1588 – 1592 Pastor of Waltershausen, then Superintendent of Heldburg, + 23 July 1605.  He was the brother of the Conrector of Madgeburg, Ehrhartus Am Bergk ( see above ) and the father of Magister Frid. Wigand. Montanus ( see following ).  Sources :  Brückner, Vol. I, pp. 9, 85 ; Vol. III, pp. 1, 364 ; Vol. III, pp. 13, 146.  Gelbke, Vol. II, p. 47, 364.  Beck, Vol. III, pp. 2, 354.  Krauss, Beiträge, Vol. I, p. 155 ff. ]
Montanus, Fridericus Wigandus, of Heldburg in Franconia.  2 Letters :  Folio VII, Nr 61 ( 1612 sine loco = Latin, “no place” ).  Folio VII, Nr 62 ( 1612, Gissae Hessorum = Latin, Giessen, Hesse ).
[ He was a son of the preceding and 1617 – 1635 Pastor of Gleichenberg and Lindau bei Römhild, + soon after 1635 in Hildburghausen.  Sources :  Brückner, Vol. I, pp. 9, 85.  Krauss, Beiträge, Vol. I, p. 156.  Wetzel, p. 96. ]

Of course, you already know about Johann Werner Krauss’s two books and Johann Christian Thomae’s Licht am Abend was one of the sources.  But you may not be familiar with the works of

Notes:

Hello Jim,

I took from his funeral sermon that he arrived in Regensburg with his family on October 8, 1641.
I assume that this is correct, because in August 1641 he already held two trial sermons in Regensburg.
Two months later he stayed there until the end of his life.

I received the following information from the Greiz State Archives:

„M. Andreas Steiner was quite obviously pastor in Zeulenroda for only about 1 year. There are no parish records for Zeulenroda from this period. He succeeded M. Daniel Müller,
who went to Greiz as archdeacon in September 1640. Probably at the end of October or beginning of November 1640 he began his work in Zeulenroda. In August 1641 he already
held 2 trial sermons in Regensburg at the request of the Regensburg city council and then probably went to Regensburg in the fall of 1641.“

Bernd

There is one source that claims that Andreas had a second wife, Rosina Bernhardina Emhard. However this is disproved and an identical marriage to another Steiner; with children being born with identical names some 200 years to the day apart. Addition in Andreas Steiner’s funeral sermon Elisabetha is referred to as his widow.

In total they had nine children, but by the time of Andreas’s death three daughters were no longer alive

Wrote “time of plague a book which can be useful in the circumstances”, Trinarium sacrum, 1622; found in Pf. - Biblical Schleiz No 1504.

According to the parish records of St. Andreas, Eisleben the marriage date is 09 Nov 1617.

The Möschlitz church registers (Schleiz church district) have been filmed and can already be viewed in digital form in our reading room. But they cannot yet be seen online in the church register portal www.archion.de.
However, our film adaptations (and thus also the digitized versions) of Möschlitz only begin around 1677. Unfortunately, we are not aware of any older books from around 1623 to 1640.

Notes:

From Chip Kalb is the explanation for the Occupation of Georg which was given as fraenk. marckgrefl. Pfar- und Pfrindtverwalther in Hof

“Fraenk. marckgrefl. Pfar- und Pfrindtverwalther in Hof” is the windy way to say that Georg Steiner was the assistant pastor from the North Court of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.

“Pfrindt” is an old German word for “sinecure”, meaning that, because Steiner was just an assistant pastor, he was on half-pay while the senior pastor was on full pay.  “Fraenk. marckgrefl.” is an old abbreviation for fränkische markgräfliche, meaning that Rev. Steiner’s boss was the Margrave of Franconia.  Since 1398, it had been the traditional title of the Princes of Bayreuth, who controlled Franconia, and held by the Margraves of Brandenburg, who were already margraves by 1398.  The Principality had two administrative towns for the Oberland and the Unterland.  One of them was Hof, which was responsible for the Oberland, the northern highlands, including Bayreuth and the Saale River.  As you’ll see from the following map, the Oberland of the Principality was one of the neighbors of Saxe-Coburg.

Notes:

I had my friend Wilbur Kalb take a look at the Georg baptismal record.  He was appalled at the handwriting, the Latin, the German and the bad abbreviations.  This is what he came up with:

The Old German transcription :

The English translation :

Achatius Heher JD Council and District Officer of the 4 Districts, Heldburg, Eisfeld, Königs
berg [ in Franken before 1920, in Bayern after 1920 ] & Veilsdorf [ in the District of Hildburghausen ], Count Palatine [ Pfalzgraf ].

Additional Wilbur provided this information on Georg Achatius Heher:

He was baptized as Georg Achatig Buchenröder but his middle name was switched to Achatius because it was the Latinized surname of his only godparent, Georg Achatz Heher, JD ( 1601 – 1667 ), the German jurist, diplomat and administrator from Nuremberg.  When Michael’s son was born, Herr Heher had been living and working in Heldburg as the Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of four districts, including Heldburg and Eisfeld, since 1648, when he was appointed by Ernst I, the Duke of Saxe-Gotha.  Herr Heher is famous enough to have his biography in the German Wikipedia ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Achatz_Heher ) but, since it is not available in English, here is my English translation :

Georg Achatz Heher ( also Achatius ; born 30 December 1601 in Nuremberg; † 22 May 1667 in Rudolstadt ) was a German lawyer, diplomat and chancellor.

Heher was a son of the lawyer and diplomat Georg Heher.  He first grew up with his grandfather [ Hülsin ] in Altdorf near Nuremberg.  From 1616 to 1620 he attended the University of Altdorf, then followed his father to Vienna, who represented the Evangelical cities of the Swabian Circle there.  There he came into contact with diplomacy.  After returning to the University of Jena, he returned to Altdorf in 1623.  In Altdorf he finally received his doctorate in law.

Heher settled in Nuremberg in 1624 as a lawyer.  In 1625 he was sent to Vienna.  There he received an audience with Emperor Ferdinand II on 25 August 1635.  Other embassies followed.  In 1629 he came to [ the Free Imperial City of ] Speyer and then toured Switzerland, France and Italy.  At the same time, he completed a career as a courtier.  In 1628 he became an assessor at the Lower Court in Nuremberg and a consultant in Altmühl, then in 1630 a Municipal Court consultant in Nuremberg.

In 1632, Heher accepted an appointment as Hofrat [ Court Councilor ] in [ the Prince-Bishopric of ] Würzburg, but in 1633 he went to Regensburg as Vice Chancellor and Director of the War Chancellery.  After the Swedish defeat, he was able to return to Nuremberg in 1636, where he again hired himself out as a consultant, with the German Order as one of his clients.

Heher was appointed government councilor of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha in 1640, but was initially able to remain in Nuremberg despite this obligation.  Like his father, he became an imperial Pfalzgraf [ Count Palatine ].  The honor was given in 1644 by Emperor Ferdinand III.  As early as the next year he was sent to Münster and Osnabrück to negotiate the Peace of Westphalia.  He represented the Duchies of Saxe-Gotha and Saxe-Weimar as well as the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg.  For his services, Duke Ernst of Saxe-Gotha appointed him Oberamtmann [ senior bailiff ] of the towns of Königsberg, Heldburg, Eisfeld and also of Veilsdorf in 1648.  Thereupon Heher left Nuremberg and moved to Heldburg.  In 1652, Duke Wilhelm von Saxe-Weimar accepted him into the Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft [ Fruit-bearing Society ] as “Der Mitteilende [ The Communicator ]”.

Heher continued to take over embassies.  From 1649 to 1650 he represented the duchies at the Friedensexekutionskongress [ Peace of Westphalia Congress ] in Nuremberg, later he was envoy at the negotiations of the Reichstag in Regensburg for the Jüngste Reichsabschied [ Last Closing Ceremony of the Reichstag ].  From 1659 until his death he was finally Chancellor of [ the County of ] Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt.  For this he moved to Rudolstadt.

From "Licht am Abend"

Johann Christian Thomæ was born in the house of his grandfather in Heldburg on 5 April 1668. The father was Rev. Stephan Thomæ, formerly Pastor of Weisenfeld, later of Neuhaus, and finally Adjunctus of Sonnefeld. The mother Madame Cordula, daughter of Michael Buchenröder, Superintendent of Heldburg. After he was privately educated by Rev. Joh. Martin Seifert, now Pastor of Steinach, Rev. Georg Möring, now Third Class of [the Collegiate School of] Neustadt an der Aisch, Rev. Georgio Kochen, then Pastor of the Holy Cross in Coburg, now deceased, he came in late May 1679 to Coburg for the Primary Class [at the Collegiate School] and was promoted 1682 to the Great Princely Gymnasium. After he matriculated 1686 at the bottom of his class [de paupertate studio forum = Latin, “of the poverty of the study of the form”], he entered on 14 May 1688 the University of Jena. In the year 1697, on 25 February, he received a Vocation to the Rectory of this place [Neustadt an der Aisch], on 3 March, his pastor's uniform, and began the 5th of that month his work in the name of GOD. The Monday after Misericordia Sunday [15 or 22 April 1697], he was installed as the Cantor of the Spiritual Lower Court in the presence of the entire Collegiate Council, however has led his office for almost a fourth of a generation hopefully not without blessing, and it appears that he is consumed in this work as a light in the service of GOD, and yet taken without none of his predecessors dead in office, whom he would first make as a rule, “and the rectory makes a mortal immortal [Rectoratum hactenus immortalem mortalem].“ In print, he has (1) made in the honor of his blessed father Rev. Stephan Thomæ, and 1707 set the memorial, (2) published in 1720, Den in der Augen der Welt unglück seelige, in GOttes Augen höchst=seel. Zustand eines truen Schulmanns [The in the Eyes of the World tragically dead, in the Eyes of GOD most blessed State of a true Schoolmaster], a pamphlet for the funeral of the Kirchner, Rev. Eyring, and (3) this present work.

The English translation of Thilo Krieg’s biography of Johann Christian Thomæ:

47.  T h o m a e , Johann Christian, historian and biographer
( 1668 – 1724 ).
On 2 November 1717, an “Actus oratorius” [ oratorical ] took place in Neustadt to celebrate the “Jubilaeum Lutheranum Secundum” [ Luther Bicentennial ], designed by the rector of the town school Johann Christian Thomae.  Among other things, in the church, a number of boys were told about the life and deeds of Luther to his death and burial.  This process — as reported by Albrecht Meno Verpoorten, the then superintendent of Neustadt, in the preface to Thomae's Licht im Abend [ “Light in the Evening” ] — prompted good friends to propose that the speeches should be published with explanations.  In this way, as Verpoorten continues, especially since there were not any particular accounts about the Reformation in Coburg, in Thomae the idea of “collecting the information about churches and schools, which are available since the Reformation, as much as possible, and thus to preserve the same against destruction or oblivion, and to facilitate the same work for the descendants [ die noch bey Handen habende Nachrichten von Kirchen und Schulen, seit der Reformation, so viel thunlich, zu samlen, mithin dieselbe vor gäntzlicher Zernichtung oder Vergessenheit desto eher zu bewahren, und den Nachkommen dergleichen Arbeit zu erleichtern ].”  “It seems to me”, writes the Rector himself, “as an irresponsible impertinence against God, if we did not endeavor to preserve the blessings of our leaders, who have now been announcing the Word of God to us for two hundred years [ Mir kam es, als eine unverantwortliche Undanckbarheit gegen Gott vor, wenn wir nicht das Andencken unserer Lehrer, die uns nun zwenhundert Jahr das Wort Gottes verkündiget, im Segen zu erhalten uns bemühen wollten ].”  The will turned into action, and a work came to light, which was at the core of a description of the lives of the Evangelical preachers and city schools and colleges in the Principality of Coburg, as well as yielding a rich trove to the friends of history as well as explorers of biography, and whose value as a reference will not fade away.

The outer life of Johann Christian Thomaes lacks remarkable experiences.  In the house of his grandfather, the superintendent Buchenröder, he was born in Heldburg in 1668 ( 5 April ).  His father, Stephan Thomae, was a pastor in Wiesenfeld, on his maternal side he could trace the family tree back to the Coburger Superintendent Dr. Maximilian Mörlin.  A student at the Casimirianum in Coburg from 1682, he went to Jena in 1688 and followed his call as a rector to Neustadt in 1697.  As for his activities as a teacher, we learn from the description of one's life, written by General-Superintendent Erdmann Rudolph Fischer.  In 1701, Fischer went to the school in Neustadt.  “Everywhere I go,” he continues, “I have enjoyed the faithful teaching of the frail but skillful and untroubled Rector, Johann Christian Thomae, of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, to my great benefit [ Allwo ich, des treuen Unterrichts des, dem Leibe nach gebrechlichen, aber sehr geschickten und unverdrossenen Rectoris, Herrn Johann Christian Thomae im Lateinischen, Griechischen und Hebraeischen, zu meinem großen Nutzen genossen ].”  A lengthy stay of the Rector in the sickbed caused this schoolmaster to retire from Neustadt earlier than he wanted.  “For under Him,” he adds, “I could have done so much more [ Denn unter ihm, hätte ich noch vieles vor mich bringen können ].”  In the Rectory, Thomae died, almost fifty-six, in 1724 ( 19 March ).

Notes:

I'm glad to hear that, even though your eyes are getting bleary from slogging through "Licht am Abend", you're as happy as a bug in a rug. Well, you'll be happy to know that I have finished the English translation of the biography of Stephen Thomas Thomä. As a cradle Catholic, I'm not familiar with the Reformation terminology so it took me a while to figure out what the heck did Rev. Christian Thomä meant by this and that. So that's what he meant when he wrote that Father "informed the oldest sons"! He was actually home-schooling them, including Stephen Thomas. "Convictorio" was a term used to describe a pastor's assignment and service. Johann Christian Thomä's biography is two pages long so it'll take a while to translate it into English.

But, first, a couple of words - As you probably know from my English translation of the Hildburghausen timetable, the Church of St Lorenz was the main church of the town but it was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1779. "U.L. Frauen" is the holdover from the Catholic past of Hildburghausen. It's short for "Unsere Liebe Frauen", German for "Our Blessed Lady", who is of course the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. But this church doesn't exist anymore, too. They were both replaced by the present Evangelical Churches - the Christus and the Neustadter - and the Catholic Church of St Leopold.

And how the feature presentation . . .

The original German version:

Stephan Thomas Thomæ, ist ein Sohn Hn. Stephani Thomæ, Adjuncti in Sonnenfeld, und Fr. Cordulen, einer gebohrnen Buchenröderin, gebohren den 27. Maji 1679. Er genosse die Information in dem väterl. Hause, so lange biß er 1696. sich auf das Coburgische Gymnafium begeben kunnte, Allhier perorirte er, weil er im Convictorio die Carpzovische Frerstelle einige Jahre genossen, 1699. de laude Carpzoviana. Anno 1700. gieng er auf die Univerfität Jena, so dann 1702. auf Erffurth, und ferner 1704. auf Berlin, allwo er 2. Jahr informirte. 1706. bekam er Condition ber Hern Obrist=Wachtmeister von Glasungen, zu Hartmansdorff, ohnweit Franckfurth an der Oder. Allhier blieb er biß 1712. da er in patriam revertirte, und ber Herrn Obrist=Wachtmeister von Bölderndorff auf Zickelsdorff in Condition tratt, biß er den 19. Januar. 1722. von einem Hoch=Edlen Rath zum Præceptore der siebenden Claß in hiesiger Schule vociret wurde.

The English translation:

Stephan Thomas Thomæ, the son of Rev. Stephan Thomæ, Adjunctus of Sonnefeld, und Madame Cordula, born Buchenröder, was born on 27 May 1679. He benefited from the education at his father's house for a very long time until he could go 1696 to the Coburg Gymnasium. At this place, he matriculated, because he had gone off to the service [Convictorio, as the personal chaplain] of the Carpzov brothers [literally, "Brotherhood”] for a few years, 1699 de laude Carpzoviana [Latin, “In Praise of Everything Carpzov”]. In the year 1700 he went to the University of Jena, then 1702 to Erfurt, and further to Berlin, where he learned for 2 years altogether. In 1706, he went into the service [Convictorio, as military chaplain] of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Glasungen in Hartmansdorf, not far from Frankfurt on the Oder. Here he would remain until 1712, when he returned to his native land and stayed in the service of Obristwachtmeister [Major] von Bölderndorff in Zickelsdorf, until he was called on 19 January 1722 by the Council of Great Nobles as the Præceptor [Supervisor] of the Seventh Class in this school [The Collegiate School of Coburg].

Notes:

But I did find a couple of things.  One of them is the 1684 christening record of Johann Wolfgang Buchenröder, the stillborn son of Johann Buchenröder.  It is not completely transcribed but it is enough to show that he had been born in Sonnefeld, probably at the home of Stephan Thomæ, whose wife was one of the four godparents.  Christian Michael Buchenröder was the pastor of nearby Hellingen at that time but, as one of the other godparents, his wife was not listed as Barbara.  She was Margaretha.  But John Nicholas Kalb’s wife, Christina Rose Stegner, had Magaretha Barbara as her middle names so maybe Margaretha Bauer Buchenröder was really Margaretha Barbara Bauer Buchenröder.

The following is from Wilbur Hanson Kalb:
I found old articles about the houses and buildings of Eisfeld, Heldburg and Hildburghausen.  They all mention the Superintendentur, the official house and office of the Superintendent, but the first two of them do not mention any of your ancestors, although the parish church of Gellertshausen, north of Rodach, is known to have the grave of Rev. Johann Andreas Buchenröder, who died in 1782.
