Abstract
The article addresses the everyday life of a student at the University of Jena based
on how Johann Christian Müller (1720–1772), later hofmeister in Pomerania
and a pastor in Stralsund, captured this stage of his life in his memoirs. This
unique source on mundane life of the 18th century was created retrospectively
after 1763 on the basis of Müller’s former regular records and correspondence
with his father. At the same time, this more than forty-year time interval from
the described events clearly influenced the final form of the memoir. The 1,554-
page manuscript captures Müller’s studies in Jena, Leipzig and Greifswald, with
particularly detailed records relating to his time at the University of Jena, but
also to his later work as a pastor in Stralsund
