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.

13. Joachim was born on 17 July 1559 and died on 13 May 1590. (P: Johann Otto, Secretarius)

From Rosl Reuter:

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
