from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Busch (born November 11, 1909 in Frankfurt am Main , † December 1, 1944 in the Soviet Union ) was a theologian of the Confessing Church .

Life

Friedrich or Fritz Busch was the youngest son of the Frankfurt pastor Wilhelm Busch and brother of the pastor and writer Wilhelm Busch and the evangelist Johannes Busch . As Wilhelm Busch reports, he was the theologian among the brothers. He studied theology with Hans Joachim Iwand and Julius Schniewind in Halle . His doctorate took place in 1938 at the University of Kiel and appeared in the same year under the title To understand the synoptic eschatology: Markus 13 newly examined . In 1933, with the establishment of the ecclesiastical seminar abroad in Ilsenburg, he became a lecturer in the New Testament at this ecclesiastical college and stayed there until it was closed by the National Socialists in 1938. Then he became head of the Bahnau brother house (in the district of Heiligenbeil in East Prussia). A little later he was called up for military service and lost his life on the Eastern Front.

From his marriage to Ruth Busch, b. Becker, had a daughter: Christiane Busch (1937–2013); she became senior teacher in Ulm on the Danube and then director of studies at the Evangelical Academy in Bad Boll. The Germanist, Romance studies and religion teacher campaigned above all for social justice in the world.
