Martin Pollich, also Mellerstadt or lux mundi ("„light of the world "“) mentioned; other name conventions: Marti Polich, Martinus Polichius (* around 1455 in Mellrichstadt; "† 27 December 1513 in Wittenberg) was philosopher, physician, theologian and establishment rector of the University of Wittenberg.

Life

Leipziger time

Pollich was written 1470 at the University of Leipzig, had been acquired after study of several years the Baccalaurat and of the artistic philosophical faculty, where he held lectures to the logical writings of the Aristoteles in the sense of the Thomasius. 1475 attained a doctorate to the doctor of philosophy and dedicated themselves the Astrologie and medicine. Over to 1480 (probably Mainz) it attained a doctorate to the doctor of the medicine and 1482 as a body physician of the cure prince Friedrich pointing was mentioned. Although it stood the Astrologie sceptically opposite, Pollich of 1482-1490 astronomical-astrological yearly forecasts dedicated itself. 1490 it becomes member "„sodalitas litteraria of the Rhenana called by Konrad Celtis in the life "“, where it developed contacts to different persons such as Bohuslaw of hating stone and other one from which it again the surnames "„lux mundi "“(light of the world) received. Of 19. March by 30 October 1493 it accompanied Friedrich pointing a Pilgerfahrt in the holy country after Jerusalem. 1494 undertook Pollich a journey to Holland, in order to visit the high schools there.

At the end 15. Century grassierte in Europe the Syphilis as epidemic. The physicians faced at the time at that time of the Frenchman plague or Spanish flu, like them were at that time called, helpless. 1497 appeared a writing, the physician Leoniceno from Venice with the traditional conception fallow, which affected the constellation of the planets the health. Instead it pointed ways to the rational fight of the epidemic, which took up Pollich as instruction reading in its lectures. Its colleague in the medical faculty Simon Pistoris placed thereupon Gegenthesen (1498) against Leoniceno and Pollich up. From it a taught dispute caught fire. Pollich did not want to have itself to listen to no more the expressions of its colleague Pistoris, the prayers recommended and God confidence against the incurable illness, instead of dedicating the search after effective medicine. Pistoris rejected experiments with new medicine, opposed as interference into the work of the creator and testing with mercury. When Pistoris gave the struggle up for its point of view, Pollich came out as a winner from the Disputation. However struck it now new meeting with hostility, which trailers of the scholastischen teachings against, which it had once belonged.

His former pupil and friend theology professor Konrad Wimpina provoked him 1500 with the disputation "„poetry "“over the new hummanistische direction. Pollich turned out thereby with the theologian Konrad Wimpina into an embittered written controversy, over the relationship from poetry and theology to the Dichtkunst. In the works "„Apologetius "“and "„Palillogia "“, had turned Wimpina to unknown human man of letters, which he accused of in his poems "„of poetry "“to lift oneself over theology. At that time theology applied as the highest stage of the spirit life and with this assumption tried Wimpina humans to deter to be occupied with human studies. Now one cannot compare Disputationen with modern controversy culture. It carried out itself at that time more violently and was from "„out-due actions "“along. When Wimpina Pollich denunzierte as and Beschimpfer of the Leipziger university, this reacted annoyed and insulted Wimpina again as "„a two-legged donkey "“and "„to mean, lieful rogue "“. This was for Pollich in the thing however a little favorably and in such a way could it in Leipzig its new ideas did not intersperse.

Wittenberger time

It is therefore the cause, in which reason of the controversy over the Syphilis turned, to search the Pollich to his service gentleman Friedrich pointing and it came to the establishment of the University of Wittenberg 1502. Pollich dedicated itself from with large eagerness the structure to the university now on and organized their structural structure. For the medical faculty it recruited Hermann of the shrubs and Erasmus Stuler. For the theological faculty it could win Hermann emperors. Thus Pollich became as an establishment rector and the first support of the establishment of university. The other support was the of the theological faculty Johann of Staupitz. In its influence the of the kindists victory mouth Epp and the of the lawyers Wolfgang was pulled to the university.

So that one could win students for the University of Wittenberg, Friedrich of the way handbill let distribute, in which issuing the study fees for 3 years were offered. Besides the cure prince appointed itself during the establishment of university to a right valid in Italy and interspersed with the fact that everyone studied in Wittenberg legally the noble one on an equal footing became. In connection with the large signs of the training body, the university constantly developed to an attraction magnet for students, who flowed out of all parts of Europe after Wittenberg. Pollich of the time lives vice-chancellor of the university remained, kept at the medical, philological and theological faculty lectures, provided themselves besides around the food supply of the students, over the mechanism of printering for the university and furnished to 1508 a pharmacy. it could receive the graduation to 1503 as the first as a doctor of still scholastischen theology. It already made acquaintance with a young which became to appoint as Magister atrium of Staupitz for the Dozentur of the aristotlischen ethics from Erfurt to Wittenberg, for 1508. When this began the follow-up of Staupitz after a stay in Rome 1512, was so much convinced Pollich of Martin Luther gift and said four years before its reformatischen occurrence of it: "„The monk will all Docktors err to make, a new teach apply, and which reform whole Roman church, because it puts on the prophets and Apostel writing, and stands on Jesu Christi of words: That can revoke none, neither with philosophy, nor Sophisterei, Skotisterei, Albertisterei, Thomisterei and the whole Tartaret, and down-fences! "“This experienced Pollich no more. He deceased on 27 December 1513 and in the Wittenberger town church was buried and to him a Epitaph establishes its text George Spalatin there wrote. To the memory of the former establishment rector a Gedenktafel is at the location of its former house.
