Ernst Theodor Johann Brückner

He is thus one of the direct descendants of the important southeast Mecklenburg theologian and superintendent Theodor Trendelenburg [de] (1696–1765).

[3] The Neubrandenburg physician and city and district physicist Adolf Brückner [de] (1744–1823) was his brother.

He became a substitute in Wesenberg (Mecklenburg) in 1770 and a preacher in Groß Vielen in 1771, where he was friends with Johann Heinrich Voß.

[6] Since 1771, Brückner had been married to the pastor's daughter Dorothea (Helena Beata) Fabricius (1742–1802), with whom he had seven children.

[7][8] Bruckner died in Neubrandenburg at the age of 58. Letters from and to Ernst Theodor Johann Brückner were part of a family archive, a large part of which is now kept in the Fritz Reuter Literary Archive Hans-Joachim Griephan in Berlin and, with around 600 units, covers a period from 1557 to 1967.
