Hermann Andreas Pistorius (8 April 1730 – 10 November 1798) was a German Protestant-Lutheran theologian and clergyman, philosopher, reviewer, translator and writer.
Eberhard Christian Krüger, he formed a learned circle, which had good contacts to Ernst Moritz Arndt.
Following a visit to his brother-in-law Johann Joachim Spalding in Berlin in 1764 he became a member of the review journal Allgemeine deutsche Bibliothek [de].
[2] Known beyond the borders of Swedish Pomerania, Pistorius was mentioned in various descriptions of journeys to Rügen.
His guests rarely judged him harshly, like Wilhelm von Humboldt, and mostly were enthusiastic like the Kosegarten pupil Karl Nernst or the Berlin Consistorial Councillor Johann Friedrich Zöllner.
