Friedrich Michael Schiele (born November 11, 1867 in Zeitz ; † August 12, 1913 in Bad Lippspringe , Westphalia ) was a Protestant theologian, best known for his work for the lexicon The Religion in Past and Present (RGG).

Live and act

Schiele as a student

After studying theology at the Universities of Tübingen and Halle and a year in the military, Schiele was initially a seminar teacher in Schlüchtern and Ottweiler , Saarland. He then served as pastor and electoral preacher for a few years until he had to retire from pastoral service in 1900 due to illness. Since then he has lived under meager conditions as a publishing editor and editor in Marburg . There the theologian Martin Rade supported him by entrusting him with the editing of the Chronicle of the Christian World . In 1906 Schiele moved to Tübingen with his wife and four sons. In 1908 he succeeded in doing his habilitation in historical theology . After his health had stabilized again, Schiele took over a pastor's position at the Dorotheenstädtische Church in Berlin in 1910 . However, his tuberculosis gave him little time. On a vacation trip he died in 1913 in Bad Lippspringe, Westphalia, at the age of 45.

Schiele published a comparatively small number of his own writings. Its importance lay above all in the area of ​​publishing and scientific organization. In 1901 he renewed the Philosophical Library for the Dürr'sche Buchhandlung in Leipzig . Since 1904 he published the religious history books for the German Christian present . The authors of this series mostly came from the group of employees of the journal Die Christliche Welt , of which Schiele was one of the editors from 1903 to 1910. In 1905 he was entrusted with the editing of the Protestant concise dictionary The Religion in Past and Present , which was published by Mohr Siebeck Verlag from 1909 to 1914 .

In an obituary it says: “What Schiele meant as a stimulus and organizer for the development of the new German intellectual life in more than one relationship has only become known to very few, because his name modestly took a back seat. His work is his memorial stone. "

Schiele had been a member of the Corps Franconia Tübingen since 1888 .
