Friedrich Holdermann (born July 31, 1866 in Lörrach ; † September 20, 1959 there ) was a German, Protestant church councilor and local researcher.

Life

Training and church council

Holdermann was a son of the Lörrach merchant Friedrich Holdermann and his wife Magdalena, nee Reichert.

After studying in Freiburg , Basel , Jena and Heidelberg , he became a parish candidate in Wolfenweiler in 1888 . Badenweiler , Hausen im Wiesental and Nimburg were further stations of his pastor career before he became pastor in Lörrach in 1900. From 1899 to 1932 Holdermann was a member of the Evangelical General Synod / State Synod. From 1906 to 1933 he was dean of the Protestant church district of Lörrach and from 1919 to 1927 a member of the leadership of the Protestant regional church in Baden . In 1925 he became a Privy Council of Churches appointed.

The church was renovated in connection with the 500th anniversary of his Röttler church . From 1901 to 1903 extensive renovation and expansion work was carried out. On the occasion of the inauguration of the renovated and enlarged church in Rötteln, its Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden paid a visit in October 1903.

Holdermann made studies on the history of the church, the neighboring castle Rötteln and their lords. This resulted in his book From the History of Rötteln , which was also published in 1903.

The politician

Holdermann ran on the list of the DDP for the election to the constituent national assembly of Baden on January 5, 1919 in constituency II (districts Freiburg, Lörrach, Offenburg) which had a total of 28 members. Holdermann came to the assembly as the 5th of the 6 DDP members from the second constituency. In the session of January 15, 1919, he was elected to the Constitutional Commission. Since the constituent national assembly of Baden was determined in a referendum on April 13, 1919 to be part of the state parliament until October 15, 1921, Holdermann exercised his mandate until then.
