Clamor Huchzermeyer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clamor Ludwig Carl Huchzermeyer (born April 5, 1809 in Alswede , † February 23, 1899 in Gütersloh ) was a German Lutheran pastor and conservative politician.

Life

Huchzermeyer came from the Lübbecke district and studied Protestant theology at the University of Berlin . In 1832 he passed his first and in 1834 his second theological exam. From 1840 he officiated as assistant preacher in Schildesche (today part of Bielefeld ). Between 1850 and 1894 he was one of the two pastors there. From 1872 he was superintendent of the Bielefeld church district . After he retired in 1894, he spent the last years of his life in Gütersloh.

Huchzermeyer was one of the most influential representatives of the Minden-Ravensberg revival movement . This was a variant of Pietism in the East Westphalian region. This movement was politically strictly conservative and monarchist. It saw itself at the same time as a way of life for the population threatened by pauperism in the rural areas of East Westphalia against the background of the beginning industrial development . Huchzermeyer successfully stood for popular conservatism .

After the March Revolution , Huchzermeyer ran as a candidate for the conservative camp for the constituency of Bielefeld for a mandate in the Prussian National Assembly . In the election dispute he fought even the moderate reform demands of the constitutional liberals in Bielefeld. Against all odds, he won the day over the Liberals and Democrats.

Except for his advocacy of upholding the death penalty, he hardly appeared in the National Assembly. However, he tried to support the home-made textile production around Bielefeld.

In the new elections in 1849, Huchzermeyer no longer stood as a candidate. At the local level, he continued to advocate for social issues. In 1852, along with pastors Johann Heinrich Volkening and August Dietrich Rische, he was one of the founders of the Bielefeld- Schildesche rescue center for children and young people at risk, from which the Evangelical Johanneswerk later emerged. As a co-founder of the Evangelisch Stiftisches Gymnasium Gütersloh , he was chairman of its board of trustees from 1851 to 1898.

His literary estate is now in the Bielefeld City Archives.
