Karl Ludwig Nitzsch

Karl Ludwig Nitzsch (6 August 1751 – 5 December 1831) was a German theologian, a professor of theology since 1790.

He later served as a pastor in the towns of Beucha (from 1781) and Borna (from 1785).

In 1790, he obtained his doctorate in theology and during the same year became a professor at the University of Wittenberg.

Like his son, the better-known Karl Immanuel Nitzsch, he earned some distinction in the theological world by a number of writings, including a work entitled De discrimine revelationis imperaboriae et didacticae prolusiones academicae (2 volumes, 1830).
