Carl Heinrich Romberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Heinrich Romberg , also Karl Heinrich Romberg (born November 19, 1810 in Neukloster , † July 28, 1868 in Picher ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman and editor.

Life

Carl Heinrich Romberg came from a Mecklenburg pastor dynasty that was largely related to the Romberg family of musicians . He was the son of the official actuary Christian Friedrich Johann Romberg (1773–1823) and his wife Elisabeth Eva Caroline, b. Walter, widowed Bartholdi (1778-1851). The pastor and prepositus Hermann Romberg (1821–1887) in Kalkhorst was his younger brother. Martin Romberg and Bernhard Romberg were his nephews. Johannes Romberg was his cousin.

He studied Protestant theology at the University of Jena and from May 1830 at the University of Rostock . Like almost all budding clergymen of his time, he initially worked as a private tutor in Groß Strömkendorf ( Blowatz ).

Dreibergen prison around 1845

In 1845 he was appointed pastor of the Dreibergen prison . Here in 1847 he worked together with the chief inspector of the institution August Ehlers to enable some convicts to emigrate to the USA or to deport them there. From October 1, 1854 he was pastor in Picher .

During and after the revolution in Mecklenburg (1848) Romberg vehemently defended the old order against the "democratic devil". From its foundation in 1851 to 1863 he was editor of the Mecklenburgisches Volksblatt magazine for town and country . This was “ filled with the feeling of victory over revolution and rationalism ”, which was shown, among other things, in 1856 in his partisanship against Michael Baumgarten .

Romberg was initially married to Luise Christian Dorothea, born in 1846. Schmidt, who died that same year. In his second marriage on October 5, 1849, he married Auguste Friederike Sophie Margareta Elisabeth, b. Walter. The couple's children included the pastors Gotthard Romberg (1854–1926) and Julius Romberg (1858–1933).
