Gustav Lenhartz (born July 6, 1810 in Halbach ; † November 24, 1871 in Minden ) was a German evangelical reformed pastor and consistorial councilor and initiator of the Dutchmen's mission .

Life

Gustav Lenhartz was born the son of the steel manufacturer Gottfried Lenhartz (1781–1856) and Christina Catharina Fuhrmann (1784–1877) on the Lenhartzhammer on the Halbach near Lüttringhausen . He attended the Academic Gymnasium in Hamm , where he passed the final exam in 1830 with the grade "very good". During this time he lived with the widow of the Higher Regional Court Councilor Terlinden, whose daughter Charlotte he later married. He studied theology at the University of Halle , the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin and the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . At the University of Berlin he met the later founder of the Inner Mission, Johann Hinrich Wichern , with whom he maintained intensive correspondence throughout his life. After completing his military service as a one-year volunteer with the Fusilier Battalion of the 15th Infantry Regiment in Bielefeld , he first worked as a private tutor to Freiherr von Forstner in Münster and was finally elected Protestant Reformed pastor in Ladbergen in December 1836 . He stayed that way until his move to the Evangelical Reformed parish in Minden in 1857, where he remained pastor until his death. During his time in Ladbergen, Gustav Lenhartz initiated, motivated by the discussions at the first Protestant Church Congress in Wittenberg in 1848 , in which he took part, the pastoral care of the so-called Hollandgoers , which he led until his death. In addition, the construction of the new Protestant church in Ladbergen can be traced back to his initiative. In Minden, where he was not only city but also garrison pastor , he was appointed government and school councilor as well as consistorial councilor in 1866.
