Albert Friedrich Heinrich David Hollaz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Friedrich Heinrich David Hollaz (also Hollatz , born April 24, 1811 in Zebbin , district of Cammin i. Pom. , † November 8, 1849 in Groß Justin , Western Pomerania ) was a German Lutheran theologian. He played a leading role in building the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

After attending grammar school in Stettin , Hollaz studied theology in Berlin and Greifswald . He was sentenced to six years imprisonment for participation in political activities of student associations, but pardoned to a six-week prison term. In 1838 he became pastor in the village of Nemitz in the Schlawe district in Western Pomerania, but was transferred to Groß Justin that same year. There he turned (initially also literary) against the Prussian State Church consummated union of Lutheran and Reformed. As King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, his shared with the neighboring pastorsJulius Nagel , Karl Meinhold and Gädecke had refused the request for restitution of the Lutherans in their rights, he announced in October 1847 that he was leaving the regional church of Pomerania. With him, a large part of his parish converted to the Old Lutheran Church, and it received a strong boost in the entire Cammin parish.

Hollaz was married to Regine Caroline Friderike Wilhelmine Hollatz, née Sonnenschmidt (born April 28, 1816 in Pomerania, † December 6, 1883 in Boizenburg ). Hollaz's widow seems to have moved to Boizenburg only after 1867.
