Adolf of Chappuzeau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Hermann Theodor Gustav von Chappuzeau (* 1857 ; † 1939 ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran pastor at the St. Marien Church in Hanover-Hainholz and author of numerous war sermons during the First World War .

Life

Chappuzeau was a descendant of the scholar and writer Samuel Chappuzeau , the author of Le Théâtre François and tutor of the later King of England William III. Many members of the family were Protestant pastors and theologians, such as Christoph Heinrich Chappuzeau . Chappuzeau did not use his title of nobility ( of ) regularly, but he is listed in most registers with a title of nobility.

Chappuzeau studied from 1877 theology at the University of Tübingen and in 1878 at the Georg-August University of Goettingen . Here he became a member of the Tübinger Wingolf and the Göttinger Wingolf .

From 1891 he worked as a pastor at the St. Marien Church in Hainholz. In his early days as pastor, extensive renovation work was carried out on the St. Marien Church by well-known architects: Theodor Hecht created a neo-Gothic tower in 1895 and Eduard Wendebourg built a new sacristy for the church . The municipality of Chappuzeau was also advised by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase .

During his entire time as pastor, Chappuzeau pushed ahead with the division of the Hainholz parish into independent parishes. In addition to the Hainholz parish, the parishes in Herrenhausen , Vahrenwald and List came into being . The Vahrenwalder Church was an emergency church until it was destroyed in World War II . In 1921, Chappuzeau acquired the premises of a restaurant, which in itself was highly controversial. The resistance grew even greater when the funds for a new church building or renovation soon ran out in the wake of inflation . Part of the property had to be sold again. A former dance hall was inaugurated as a temporary church building in 1922.

In November 1892, Chappuzeau founded a singing group, which soon bore the name Hainhölzer Kantorei. The Hainhölzer Kantorei is today the oldest continuously existing parish of the Hainholz parish and one of the oldest choirs in Hanover.

During the First World War, Chappuzeau became known as the author of numerous war sermons. His war sermons follow the war theology of the time , which Luther's church understood as the German national church. The net proceeds from the sale of some of his ideological writings were donated to the volunteer war aid.

The theologian Bernhard Dörries dedicated his explanation of the little catechism of D. Martin Luther to " Adolf Chappuzeau in a community of thought and work " .

estate

Chappuzeau's estate is kept in the State Church Archives in Hanover under estate number 108. The author correspondence between Chappuzeau and Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht as well as between Chappuzeau and Mohr Siebeck Verlag can be found in the Berlin State Library . Correspondence with the theologian Wilhelm Bousset can be found in his estate in the SUB Göttingen .
