LIFE Andreae was the son of Johannes Andreae (1554-1601), the superintendent of Herrenberg and later the Abbot of Königsbrunn . His mother Maria Moser went to Tübingen as a Widow and was court apothecary 1607–1617. The young Andreae studied Theology and natural sciences 1604–1606. He was refused the final examination and church service, probably for attaching a ''pasquill'' (offensive, libelous note) to the chancellor Enzlin's door, on the occasion of his marriage. After that, he taught young nobles and hiked with his students through Switzerland , France , Austria and Italy . In 1612 he resumed his theological studies in Tübingen. After the final examination in 1614, he became '' ("Fruitbearing Society"), where he got the company-nickname ''der Mürbe'' ("the soft"). In 1650, he took over the direction of the monasterial school Bebenhausen ; in 1654, he became abbot of the evangelical monasterial school of Adelberg . His role in the origin of the Rosicrucian legend is controversial. In his autobiography he indicated the ''Chymische Hochzeit'' (" Chymical Wedding Of Christian Rosenkreutz ") as one of his works. However, in his later works, alchemy is the object of ridicule and is placed with music, art, theatre and Astrology in the category of less serious sciences. BIBLIOGRAPHY
