George Frans Haspels

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Frans Haspels (born April 7, 1864 in Nijmegen , † December 16, 1916 in Rotterdam ) was a Dutch preacher and writer.

Life

Haspels studied theology in Utrecht from 1883 and in 1888 moved to a pastor's position in Colmschate, now a part of Deventer . He married Charlotte Kleyn van Brandes and had four daughters (including Emilie Haspels ) and a son with her . In 1901 the family moved to Rotterdam , where Haspels preached restlessly, taught, held Bible readings and worked on the newly founded Protestant magazine Onze Eeuw ("Our Century"). In his literary work he is influenced by the late romantic group of the "Tachtigers" ("eighties") founded around 1880 and by the fin de siècle , the dissolution of the order of the 19th century. Haspels died at the age of 52.
