Life

Frommann, a son of pastor Ehrhard Gottlieb Frommann, studied Protestant theology in Jena, Bonn and Berlin from 1828 and was influenced by Ludwig Friedrich Otto Baumgarten-Crusius , Friedrich Bleek , Karl Immanuel Nitzsch , Friedrich Schleiermacher and August Neander , among others . In 1833 he was in Jena for licentiate doctorate and published as "candidate of theology in Coburg's" an essay on a New Testament theme. In 1837 he was appointed associate professor at the University of Jena . 1839 awarded him the University of Rostock because of its investigation into John's doctrinal system of the degree of Dr. theol.

In the same year Frommann was elected to a pastoral office in the German-speaking Lutheran congregation at the recently completed Saint Petri Church in Saint Petersburg , which he took up in 1840. Here he founded a poor relief association in 1834 and later also became consistorial councilor . In 1865 he was appointed honorary professor for practical theology at the University of Berlin ; but in 1868 he returned to Saint Petersburg to take the position of general superintendent and vice-president at the provincial consistory.
