August Ferdinand Axt (born November 21, 1796 in Dresden , † June 23, 1855 in Niederstriegis ) was a German Protestant pastor.

Life

The son of Karl Friedrich Axt (1757-1834), who was a hospital preacher and pastor at the Annenkirche in Dresden , attended the Dresden Kreuzschule and from 1811 to 1816 the grammar school in Schulpforta . After studying Protestant theology , he became a pastor in the small town of Oberwiesenthal in the Ore Mountains in 1827 . His introductory speech was put into print by Karl Heinrich Gottfried Lommatzsch under the title Introductory Speech on January 21, 1827, the trial day held by the candidate August Ferdinand Axt, who was appointed to the pastor's office in Wiesenthal . As a representative of the 12th urban constituency, he was a member of the second chamber of the first constitutional Saxon state parliament , which took place in 1833/34. Here he and Heinrich Adolph Haussner were among the founders of the decidedly liberal party . During this time he was represented in his pastor by the vicars Carl Christian Ehregott Raschig and Friedrich Hermann Leo. In 1841 he was transferred to Niederstriegis as pastor, where he had the church rebuilt in 1849/50, after having had Woldemar Hermann draw up a design that was not implemented later in 1844 . Axt is reported to have been such a popular pulpit speaker that the audience in the smaller old Niederstriegis church stood with ladders at the church windows to be able to listen to him.
