Friedrich Rehm

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Rehm (born November 27, 1792 in Immichenhain , district of Ziegenhain , † November 5, 1847 in Kassel ) was a German historian and university professor .

Life

Rehm was born the son of a pastor. He was tutored by him and his uncle, so that in 1808, at the age of sixteen, he was allowed to attend the University of Marburg without ever having attended a grammar school. Although enrolled in theology , he studied history extensively . His teaching included Albert Jakob Arnoldi , Andreas Leonhard Creuzer , Karl Wilhelm Justi , Wilhelm Gottlieb Tennemann and Ludwig Wachler . At the age of 19, after passing exams, he took up a position as a private tutor , which he was dissatisfied with because he preferred to continue studying history. In 1812 he began studying at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . In 1814 he received an appointment at the Hessian Scholarship Institute , where he directed the studies of the theology students there. In April 1815 he completed his habilitation in philosophy . In 1818 he was appointed associate professor and on September 26, 1820 he was appointed full professor . At the same time he became the third university librarian. In addition to these activities, he was rector in 1827/28 and 1834/35 , as well as a member of the university assembly and committee member of the city of Marburg, for which he was made an honorary citizen of the city in 1834 . He also represented the state university as a member of parliament between 1840 and 1847.

In the controversies surrounding the employment of Joseph Rubino and Joseph Hoffa as professors, he took the position that Jews, because of their independence as a people, could not be citizens and therefore not professors.

Rehm was a member of the Freemason Lodge Marc Aurel zum Flammenden Stern in Marburg.
