Carl Wilhelm Berthold Heberlein (born  May 30, 1846 in Schlawe , †  August 4, 1914 in Petzer ) was a German Protestant theologian and chronicler . He worked from 1876 to 1881 as archdeacon in Wolgast and from 1881 to 1891 in the same position in Demmin . With a treatise on the city ​​history of Wolgast published in 1892, he is one of the two major chroniclers of the city alongside Karl Christian Heller .

Life

Berthold Heberlein was born in 1846 in Schlawe , Lower Pomerania , and graduated from high school in Stolp . From 1867 to 1870 he studied Protestant theology at the University of Greifswald , where he attended courses from Otto Zöckler , among other things . He then worked initially as a private tutor and from 1872 to 1874 as a full teacher at the high school in Gollnow , before he was active as rector and assistant preacher in Jacobshagen from 1874 . At the beginning of 1876 he went to Wolgast and became archdeacon of the St. Petri congregation there and, in April, also rector of the town's boys' school. Five years later he moved to Demmin , where he also served as archdeacon until 1891. After his retirement for health reasons, he moved to Stettin .

Berthold Heberlein was married from 1873 and has two sons and a daughter. He died in 1914 as a result of a stroke while on a spa trip to Petzer in the Giant Mountains . After he was initially buried in Groß Aupa , his coffin was transferred to Stettin in September 1914 and buried there.

Work and memory

Berthold Heberlein devoted himself for many years and beyond his time in Wolgast to the history of the city and the former Wolgast castle . With his work “Contributions to the history of the castle and city of Wolgast”, which appeared in 1892, he published the second essential work on the city's history of Wolgast, following Karl Christian Heller's “Chronicle of the City of Wolgast” in 1829 . In several contemporary reference works such as the 14th edition of the Brockhaus Konversationslexikons , the 6th edition of Meyer's Großem Konversations-Lexikon and the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica , the entry on the city of Wolgast refers to the Heberleinsche Chronik as further literature.

In Wolgast, a street and a school (regional school with elementary school "CWB Heberlein" Wolgast) are named after him in memory of Berthold Heberlein.
