Heinrich Christoph Tamm (1691-1714)

law student

Heinrich Christoph Tamm was born in Gotha on February 16, 1691, the son of the horsebreaker Martin Tamm and his wife Martha Catharina Schwabhäuser. From 1699 he attended high school in his hometown. On September 27, 1712, he enrolled at the University of Jena as a law student.

On the eve of St. John's Day, June 23, 1714, he suffered an accident while out for a walk, as a result of which he died on June 28, 1714 at the age of 23 from a gangrene (tissue necrosis). His parents and younger brother Adolph Johann Heinrich Tamm had traveled to Jena to take farewell of him after learning of his deteriorating condition. Heinrich Christoph Tamm's funeral took place on June 29, 1714, with great public interest. A vineyard cannon can be seen on his tombstone. Such a cannon, used to drive birds out of the vineyards, is said to have caused his accident. When the cannon was fired a piece "shattered" and parts of it severely injured Tamm's right leg.

In 1771 mayor Bartholomäus Janson buys the historic inn "Sonne" at auction, in 1774 Janson is then also noted as the owner of the neighboring house to the east.

His father worked as a master stocking knitter in Weimar, Janson himself also took up this trade, as it was described as the only flourishing trade in the second half of the 18th century in Jena. Starting from Apolda, a factory-like production in this field had also established itself in Jena.

Stocking weavers here usually called themselves merchants and were predominantly not involved in production but as a kind of publisher and were able to achieve greater wealth.

He was married to Eva Catharina, née Prager, the daughter of the oil miller Christoph Prager from Jena.

In 1781, Bartholomäus Janson drew up his will and stipulated that after his death his house should go to the city, which was to set up a school there for poor orphans and illegitimate children.

After Janson's death, the house does fall to the city, which, however, does not fulfill his wishes regarding a school for disadvantaged children.

The church register records that Janson is buried in his family's hereditary burial ground. This burial place is still preserved on the outside of the north wall of the Friedenskirche today

Janson's only daughter, Johanna Catharina, had married the hosier Georg Friedrich Heidenreich in 1748. From this marriage came the daughter Dorothea Catharina Friederika, who in turn married Ernst Wilhelm Imanuel Heiligenstädt, "F. S. Weimar. und Eisenachische(n) Ober-Vormundschafftl. Vice-Landschaffts-Cassir(ers) auch Hof- und Regierungsadvocat" in 1766.

In 1768 the daughter Sophia Amanda Friederike Heiligenstädt was born in this marriage, the mother died a few days after the birth. Sophia Amanda inherited the houses at the market. On May 4, 1788, she married Christoph Jacob Paulsen, a merchant and trader from Weimar, who died in 1808.

Fortlage completed his schooling in Osnabrück. From 1825 he studied theology, philosophy and philology at the universities of Göttingen, Berlin and Munich. In Munich he received his doctorate with the thesis "Über die Denkweise der ältesten Philosophen” in 1829. He then worked as a lecturer at the University of Heidelberg until 1842 and at the University of Berlin from 1842 to 1846. From Berlin he moved to the University of Jena, where he was appointed full honorary professor in 1860 and full professor in 1873.

Fortlage was initially a follower of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel before turning to the works of Immanuel Kant, Johann Gottlieb Fichte and Friedrich Eduard Beneke. In his philosophical publications, Fortlage took a metaphysical view. He himself coined the term "transcendental pantheism".

In addition to his philosophical research, Fortlage was also interested in ancient music. In 1847 he published his essay about the musical system of the Greeks in its archetype. In 1852 Fortlage's main philosophical work "Genetische Geschichte der Philosophie seit Kant” [Genetic History of Philosophy since Kant] was published.
