Johann Heinrich Schulz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Heinrich Schulz (1739–1823) was a German Lutheran pastor.
From 1758 to 1761 Schulz studied in Halle (Saale) and later became a teacher in Berlin. In 1765 he was appointed preacher by the local landlords in Gielsdorf, Wilke, and Hirschfelde villages where he remained active for 26 years. For health reasons he refused to wear a peruke at the pulpit during sermons, which earned him the nickname "Zopfschulze" (Pigtail Schulz).[1]
He published books anonymously, including Versuch einer Anleitung zum Sittenlehre (1783), but authorship was, nevertheless, no secret, and he was well known in Berlin's intellectual circles.[2]
