Philip Adam Storck (* October 16 , 1780 in Trarbach; † April 19, 1822 in Bremen) was a German teacher and historian.
Adam Storck was the son of the preacher and vineyard owner Andreas Storck, who died nine days after Adam's birth. He graduated from the grammar school in Trarbach under the principal Johannes Touton and then studied at the University of Giessen and the University of Jena. After graduating, he became a teacher at the Handlungs-, Bürger- und Lateinschule in Hagen (Westphalia). In 1810 he became principal of the school. In 1811, he was married to Anna Wilhelmine Bödecker, a wine merchant's daughter from Bremen, in St. Martini's Church in Bremen, and his relationship with Bremen deepened. After his first wife died in 1813, he remarried in 1814 to a Bremen citizen from an influential family: the wine merchant's daughter Catharina Elisabeth von Kapff. In 1814, he was co-editor of the Westphalian journal Hermann and translator of works by the Scottish writer Walter Scott.
Due to his connections to Bremen, he applied for a teaching position there. In 1817, he was appointed principal at the commercial school in Bremen. In 1818, he was appointed professor by the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. He taught the subjects of history, new languages and commerce. In 1821, Mayor Johann Smidt prompted him to write an anonymous essay against the southern German criticism of the Hanseatic cities' free trade policy.
His work Ansichten der Freien Hansestadt Bremen und ihrer Umgebung, published by Friedrich Wilmans in Frankfurt am Main in 1822 and illustrated with 16 copperplate engravings by Anton Radl, became important. This historical and regional study of Bremen is less impressive for its historical part, which was taken from older chronicles, than for its poetic depiction of impressions from the 19th century. Storck was already limited in his work due to illness; some of the chapters of the book that were already in the rough were completed by other Bremen historians. The book was not finally revised and published until eleven months after his death in March 1823.[1]
