Far from definitive, doubtfully helpful - in fact blue sky speculation:
the following pastor was in an appropriate age range to be Clausius's
father -

Carl Ernst Gottlieb Clausius, Königlicher Schul- und Regierungsrat
Dr. Th., seit 1833 Superintendent der Synode Ueckermünde und Pastor
 hiesiger Gemeinde, geboren am 29. Januar 1781, gestorben am
 4. März 1855, feierte sein 50-jähriges Amtsjubiläum
am 23. September 1853, an welchem Tage sein Bild von der Stadt
Ueckermünde der hiesigen Kirche geschenkt wurde.

The following URL mentions the Gymnasium where Clausius studied.
