Friedrich Wilhelm Henninger

Friedrich Wilhelm Henninger (born July 4, 1817 in Breitenbronn , Grand Duchy of Baden , † January 28, 1881 in Königsbach near Pforzheim) was a German pastor who took part in the Baden Revolution.

Life

As the son of a teacher, Henninger attended the Wertheim Latin School . From 1837 he studied Protestant theology at the Ruprecht-Karls-University and was active in the Corps Suevia Heidelberg . In 1838 he continued his studies at the University of Jena . On December 3, 1838, he also became active in the Corps Franconia Jena and held the first batch . The university granted him the Consilium abeundi in early 1939 . He switched to the University of Leipzig , where he was reciprocated on January 8, 1839 by the Corps Lusatia Leipzig . He returned to Jena at Easter 1839 and again assumed the position of senior at Franconia. In Leipzig and Jena he was a good fencer, especially on Parisian swords ; but he later left Franconia.

Back in Heidelberg at the end of 1839, he passed the exam there in 1844 at the seminary . At the end of 1844 he was accepted among the Protestant parish candidates of the Grand Duchy of Baden and, with the approval of the Grand Ducal Baden Ministry of the Interior, was appointed pastor of the Protestant parish Neckarbinau, Binau community , Mosbach dean's office on June 30, 1846 .

In 1848 he joined the revolutionary movement in Baden . At the end of 1848, at a funeral service for Robert Blum, who was shot after the October Uprising in Vienna in 1848, he gave a brilliant speech against the Metternich system . As a member of the Defense Administration Committee, he called on the vigilantes to fight for the fatherland and the Paulskirche constitution . He ran for election to the Baden Constituent Assembly of 1849 and published a "declaration" in the "Karlsruher Zeitung" No. 34 of June 21, 1849, published by the revolutionary government. After the collapse of the revolution, he was charged with high treason acquitted by judgment of the Mannheim court on April 2, 1850, but prosecuted by the Oberkirchenrat under disciplinary law. Particular attention was drawn to the “offensive” beard of the accused, which is considered revolutionary. Following a resolution by the Grand Duke, Henninger was dismissed as pastor by a decision from the Interior Ministry on June 27, 1850. Downgraded as vicar , he came to Köndringen in 1850 and to Weitenau in 1851 . In 1852 he was appointed parish administrator in Mönchweiler . By decision of the Grand Duke on January 20, 1858, the parish of Schönau (Odenwald) was transferred to him. From 1872 he was pastor in Königsbach near Pforzheim , where he died in the parsonage at the age of 64.

The son Adolf emerged from his first marriage to Sophia Leichtlen in 1847. After Sophia died (before 1876), Henninger married Elise Boldan in 1881 .
