Life

Bernhard Goesch was a son of the businessman Wilhelm Goesch. From the summer semester of 1899 he studied Protestant theology at the Universities of Rostock , Tübingen and Rostock again. After his first theological exam he was first tutor in Teschow, today a part of Teterow . From Easter 1904 he attended the seminary in Schwerin . From Easter 1905 he was a teacher at the city school in Plau and from February 1906 rector in Kröpelin .

In December 1907 he received his first pastor as second pastor at the Güstrow parish church . Here he developed extensive public activity. In 1921 he was a member of the constituent synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mecklenburg . In November 1921 he came to Schwerin Cathedral as the second cathedral preacher . After the election of the first regional bishop Heinrich Behm and the resulting resignation of Ernst Haack , he and Julius Sieden were appointed as his successor to the Schwerin Oberkirchenrat. He taught liturgy, homiletics and catechetics at the Schwerin Predigerseminar Schwerin, held courses on practical theology at the University of Rostock, especially in the winter semester 1928/29 as a substitute for the sick chair holder Renatus Hupfeld , and was a member of the examination commission of the regional church from 1931. He taught religion at the Schwerin secondary school; Ludwig Bölkow later remembered his free views . He represented the regional church in the preparation of the unified hymn book for the Evangelical Lutheran regional churches of Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburg, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Lübeck, Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Eutin and Lübeck, which was introduced in 1930, and was involved in the preparation of the Mecklenburg church book with new divine service regulations as well as the composition of the order of life .

In 1933/34 the Schwerin Oberkirchenrat was almost completely replaced in the course of the Nazi German Christians' takeover . Goesch was given leave of office on February 1, 1934 by the regional church leader Walther Schultz ; on April 1, 1934, he was appointed state superintendent of the Güstrow church district.

But since he was not willing to oust the Güstrow regional superintendent, Walter Kittel, who was forced into retirement, Goesch temporarily resided in Bad Doberan. However, he died just five days later on April 5, 1934 in Bad Doberan of a heart attack as a result of the various excitements .
