TERSTEEGEN, GERHARD (16971769)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 660 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TERSTEEGEN, GERHARD (16971769) , German religious writer, was born on the 25th of November 1697, at Mors, at that time the
capital
  of a countship belonging to the
house
  of Orange-Nassau (it fell to
Prussia
  in 1702), which formed a
Protestant
  enclave in the midst of a Catholic country. After being educated at the gymnasium of his native town, Tersteegen was for some years apprenticed to a merchant. He soon came under the influence of Wilhelm Hoffman, a pietistic revivalist, and devoted himself to writing and public speaking, with-drawing in 1728 from all secular pursuits and giving himself entirely to religious
work
 . His writings include a collection of hymns (Das geistliche Blumengartlein, 1729; new edition,
Stuttgart
 , 1868), a volume of Gebete, and another of Briefe, besides translations of the writings of the French mystics. He died at Muhlheim in Westphalia on the 3rd of
April
  1769.
See HYMNS, and the article by Eduard Simons in
Herzog
 -Hauck, Realencyklopadie, vol. xix. (ed. 1907).
