Paul Gerhard Bohne (born April 2, 1895 in Zeutsch ; † 1977 in Kiel ) was a German Protestant religious educator and university teacher.

Life

The pastor's son attended elementary school and grammar school until he graduated from high school in 1913 and studied Protestant theology at the University of Leipzig from 1913 to 1919 , interrupted by military service in the First World War . He did his doctorate in 1920 under Eduard Spranger . He then taught in Altenburg until 1930 before he was appointed lecturer and professor at the Pedagogical Academy in Frankfurt (Oder) and in 1932 at the Pedagogical Academy in Elbing . In 1933 he went to the college for teacher training in Kiel as professor for religious studies and methodology of religious instruction . He signed the confession of the German professors to Adolf Hitler in November 1933. In 1937 he joined the NSDAP . But in 1938 he was suspended with continuous payments because he had given a seminar paper that was friendly to Jews too good. In the Second World War he did military service, a. a. as commander of the 211 reserve battalion in Hanover, and was taken prisoner by the British in May 1945 .

In July 1945 he returned to Kiel and taught as a teacher at a grammar school. The Flensburg University of Education appointed him again in 1946 as professor and founding rector. In 1948 he was appointed to the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel and taught practical theology until 1965. In 1954 he was appointed Dr. hc from the Theological Faculty of the University of Kiel.

Already in his early work he was close to Rudolf Bultmann's existential decision for God , which he would like to achieve in class and which he regards as a permanent task in the further course of life, unlike Karl Barth , who saw in class only the preparation for the decision. The starting point was his personal experience from religious education that large parts of the youth were religiously disinterested, and on the other hand the experience of the World War, which had led many to believe.

With the Gerhard Bohne Prize , the North Elbian Church awards the three best works in each of the school years in Protestant religion in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg.
