Casimir Conradi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp Casimir Conradi (born September 19, 1784 in Wonsheim ; † August 21, 1849 in Dexheim ) was a pastor and theological-philosophical writer influenced by idealism ( Young Hegelianism ).

Life

Casimir Conradi was a son of the Protestant pastor Johann Christian Conradi (1742–1796) in Wonsheim, his mother was Anna Catharina geb. Guntersheimer (* 1758). After the death of his father he came to his grandfather Johann Valentin Guntersheimer (1720-1810), who was pastor in Waldböckelheim and inspector (superintendent) of the reformed local consistory Sobernheim . Conradi attended the upper classes of the Reformed High School in Kreuznach . The school had to cease its official teaching operations around 1799 after the French state confiscated the school property and was then continued to teach private lessons by former teachers.

“ Philipp Kasimir Konradin von Wonsheim, theology devoted ” enrolled at the University of Heidelberg on May 28, 1803 . There he was mainly influenced by Carl Daub and Friedrich Creuzer . On November 9, 1804, he moved to the University of Würzburg , where he heard Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and Heinrich Eberhard Gottlob Paulus . Conradi returned to Heidelberg once more to graduate .

After completing his studies in 1809, Conradi became a " Pasteur " and teacher in Frei-Laubersheim (Consistoire local de l'Église réformée de Sprendlingen ) in the Département du Mont-Tonnerre . 1811–1815 he was a Reformed pastor in Oppenheim and Dienheim and since May 1815 in Dexheim and Schwabsburg . Conradi worked closely with his Reformed colleague in Nierstein, Johann Paul Wallot (1777-1824). On August 19, 1817, the nine pastors Johann Jakob Mathias (1785–1863) to Sprendlingen (ref.), Georg Wehsarg (1781–1868) to Planig (Lutheran), and Karl Philipp Schönfeld (around 1782; † 1848) appealed Wöllstein (luth.), Heinrich Julius Balbier (1779–1821) zu Wöllstein (ref.), Conradi zu Dexheim (ref.), Georg Christian Fitting (1792–1873) zu Oppenheim (ref.), Heinrich Wilhelm Dilg (1770– 1857) zu Selzen (ref.), Wallot zu Nierstein (ref.) And Friedrich Ludwig Wundt (1787–1842) zu Wonsheim (ref.) With a disk to their Hessian colleagues, the so far separate Reformed and Lutheran congregations on the occasion of the 300th Reformation anniversary to unite. After the introduction of the church union in 1822 in the Grand Duchy of Hesse , all Protestants from Dexheim and Schwabsburg were brought together in the parish of Dexheim in 1824. In 1833 Conradi became a member of the district school commission of the canton of Oppenheim.

Casimir Conradi served several times as dean of the Deanery Oppenheim. He seems to have lived temporarily in Nierstein around 1835/36. The pastor there, Johann Jakob Christ (* 1782; † around 1857) was suspicious on various occasions and was suspended in 1842 and dismissed in 1845. Conradi later lived in Dexheim again. Since he suffered from an organically caused speech disorder, he was represented by vicars from 1836 when preaching in Dexheim, so from 1848–1850 by Franz Joseph Helfrich (1806–1886) from Viernheim , who was a Catholic pastor in 1835 until he joined the Protestant Church Burgholzhausen had been before the height and was an exponent of the revival movement in Rheinhessen. In the summer of 1836 Conradi, accompanied by two daughters, traveled to Kreuznach for a cure; he stayed at the pension with his colleague Johann Friedrich Kremer (1789-1857), the pastor of Waldböckelheim.

From his pastor's office, Conradi published a series of philosophical-theological treatises that were received in contemporary academic discourse. Between the left Hegelians critical of religion ( David Friedrich Strauss , Ludwig Feuerbach , Bruno Bauer , Edgar Bauer ) and the conservative Hegelian right ( Carl Friedrich Göschel , Georg Andreas Gabler , Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm Hinrichs , Johann Eduard Erdmann ), Casimir Conradi represented like Ludwig Noack (1819– 1885), Philipp Konrad Marheineke , Wilhelm Vatke , Julius Schaller , Immanuel Hermann Fichte or Karl Rosenkranz a middle position. In a collective review of the writings by Kasimir Conradi ( Critique of Christian Dogmas ), David Friedrich Strauss ( The Christian doctrine of faith presented in its historical development and in its struggle with modern science ) and Ludwig Feuerbach ( The essence of Christianity ), it says:

“This is namely the progress of the critical business in the three scriptures: while the first only wants to dispute the ecclesiastical dogma or only ... its immediate truth, ... the second fights the gospel itself, the third even religion, and who knows what else otherwise."

- Ludwig Friedrich Otto Baumgarten-Crusius

In his last major work, Authority and Freedom of Conscience , which was published in sections in two journals edited by Noack, Conradi concentrated in 1848 on a social-ethical and political-philosophical issue and dealt with the relationship between autocracy and democracy , among other things . Shortly before his death, he took part in the non-denominational free general church newspaper published by Ludwig Noack - then living in Oppenheim - "as an organ for the democratic development of religious-ecclesiastical thought and life in Germany". Other supporters of the project were the rabbinical assistant Abraham Jakob Adler (1811-1856) from Worms, Andreas Frederik Beck (1816-1861) in Copenhagen, Eduard Duller in Darmstadt, Robert Haas (1806-1862) in Frankfurt am Main, and Wilhelm Nagel in Bremen , Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in Breslau, Karl Christian Planck in Tübingen, Alexis Schmidt in Berlin, Ludwig Seeger in Stuttgart, Albert Schwegler in Tübingen, the German Catholic preacher Eduard Georg Schröter in Worms and Carl Zschiesche (1807-1869) in Halberstadt.

In 1848 Conradi was elected to the commission, which was commissioned by Grand Duke Ludwig III. von Hessen-Darmstadt , chaired by Prelate Karl Zimmermann, presented the draft of a synodal and presbyterial constitution for the Protestant church of the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the spring of 1849. The project of a Hessian church order came to a standstill with the end of the revolution in 1848/49 .

Casimir Conradi died of a heart attack 9 weeks after his son Otto when he was asked to comment by the grand ducal government in Darmstadt due to a complaint by the mayor of Dexheim . He was buried in Nierstein next to his former brother Johann Paul Wallot.
