Caesar Ernst Albrecht Krause

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caesar Ernst Albrecht Krause , also Albrecht Krause (born November 12, 1838 in Grätz ( Grodzisk Wielkopolski ), † November 14, 1902 in Hamburg ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman.

Life

Caesar Ernst Albrecht Krause was a son of the pastor Caesar Wilhelm Alexander Krause and his wife Auguste Christiane Louise, nee. Ziedler (1811-1888). The doctor Rudolf Krause was his older brother. He grew up in Breslau and, from 1856, in Hamburg, where he passed his Abitur at the Johanneum School of Academics . From 1858 he studied philosophy and Protestant theology at the Universities of Breslau, Jena and Berlin. In 1861 he was in Jena with one of Kuno Fischer supervised dissertation about the relationship of the infinite to the knowledge of Dr. phil. PhD.

After passing his exams, he became a candidate for the Hamburg Ministry of Spiritual Affairs in 1861 . In 1862 he received his first pastor as a deacon (3rd pastor) at the main church of St. Catherine . With his liberal sermons, in which he represented a “modern, nobler and more reasonable” view of Christianity, he soon aroused a sensation, but also criticism. In addition, he held lectures in philosophy at the Hamburg Academic High School until its abolition in 1883 and published on Immanuel Kant , in particular on his opus postumum , which he edited. Krause had acquired the manuscript from Kant's great-great-nephew in 1884; It was not until 1999 that it came to the Berlin State Library with the help of the Zeit Foundation .

In 1895 he became chief pastor of St. Katharinen. During his term of office, the considerable downsizing of the parish of Katharinenkirche due to the construction of the Speicherstadt from 1883 and the consequences of the cholera epidemic of 1892 fell . To compensate for the municipal area lost by the Speicherstadt, the working-class district of Hammerbrook was re-parish to St. Katharinen in 1887 . This in turn led to discussions about the preservation of the Katharinenkirche or a relocation, which only came to an end with the construction of the St. Anne's Church as an additional church for Hammerbrook 1898-1901 (destroyed in 1943).

Since 1884 he was married to Johanna Friederike Ferdinande Jenny, geb. Bertram (* 1858 in Rio Grande do Sul , † 1939 in Hamburg).

Krause's portrait epitaph by Martin Rehder was destroyed with the church in 1943.
