Aloys Baldus
Aloys Baldus (born April 8, 1871 in Enspel , † July 10, 1937 in Trier ) was a German Catholic theologian , educator and author.
Life
He was the son of the teacher Johannes Baldus from Ruppach in Hessen-Nassau and his wife Charlotte Baldus-Enspel. After attending the high school in Montabaur , he studied theology at the University of Münster . There he received his doctorate in 1895 for Dr. theol. The subject of his dissertation was: The Relationship of Justin the Martyr to our Synoptic Gospels. A contribution to the text history of the New Testament writings .
His first professional activity was a chaplain in Östrich in the Rhineland, then Subregens at Konvikt Montabaur. For the longest part of his life he was a teacher at the Kaiser Wilhelm High School in Trier, where he was appointed professor.
His main work was the Church History Character Pictures , which appeared in the first edition in 1904 in Cologne and were published several times up to the First World War. Due to changed guidelines in the curriculum of the higher schools in the Free State of Prussia , Aloys Baldus revised this font so that it could appear in Cologne in 1926 in a different form and was used for school use.
He lived in Trier, Thebäerstraße 30 and was, among other things, a member of the board of the Trier district and local group of the German War Graves Commission. Baldus was also a member of the Görres Society for the Care of Science.
