Georg Wünsch
Georg Wünsch (born April 29, 1887 in Lechhausen ; † November 22, 1964 in Kassel ) was a Protestant theologian and church politician.
Career
Wish studied in Erlangen theology and a doctorate in 1919 on the Sermon on the Mount at Luther . During his studies he became a member of the AMV Fridericiana Marburg and the AMV Fridericiana Erlangen . From 1916 to 1922 he was vicar or pastor in Meßkirch . After his habilitation in 1922, he became associate professor in 1927 and, from 1932, the first full professor of systematic theology and social ethics .
When Wünsch was appointed professor of social ethics at the Philipps University of Marburg in the winter semester of 1931 , the latter can look back on the longest history of this subject in the German-speaking area.
In its denazification proceedings against Wünsch, the American military government did not accept his understanding of his work and suspended him from his professorship from 1945 to 1950.
After the Second World War he was President of the Federation for Free Christianity for several years .
Contemporary witnesses describe him as “a great teacher and fatherly friend of his students”.
The phrase “theology of the real” goes back on request.
