Felix Haase (born August 1, 1882 in Protzan , Frankenstein district , Silesia ; † December 25, 1965 in Augsburg ) was a German theologian, Roman Catholic church historian and university dean in Wroclaw.

Life

Haase obtained his Abitur in Glatz in 1904 and then studied Catholic theology at the universities of Munich and Breslau . He was ordained a priest in Breslau in 1908 . In 1909 he received his doctorate on the Patriarch Dioscur of Alexandria from the Breslau church historian Max Sdralek . In 1914 he worked as a hospital chaplain. In the following year he completed his habilitation in Wroclaw for oriental church history. In 1922 he became an associate professor and in 1924 a full professor for Slavic Church Studies, General History of Religions and Comparative Religious Studies at the University of Breslau. Towards the end of the Second World War in 1945 he was expelled from Breslau and from then on only worked as an assistant chaplain, most recently he was in Augsburg.

Haase was criticized within the church for his membership in the NSDAP . His publications, for example on the Russian Orthodox Church or the Slavs, were irrelevant and nationalistic. From 1933 to 1945 he was the successor of the still "freely elected" Franz Gescher, who was elected liaison lecturer on May 24, 1933 as an opponent of National Socialism against Haase, dean of the Catholic-Theological Faculty of the University of Breslau.
