Hans Henning Schreiber (born October 1, 1894 in Wulkenzin , † December 15, 1968 in Ratzeburg ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman, state superintendent and provost at Ratzeburg Cathedral .

Life

Schreiber was the son of a farmer and parish tenant. He attended grammar school in Neubrandenburg and began studying Protestant theology at the University of Erlangen . Interrupted by Kireigsdienst in World War I, he graduated from the University of Rostock in February 1919 . Here he was a member of the Academic Choral Society Redaria .

In 1921 he was appointed pastor of St. Laurentius in Schönberg . On January 1, 1934, he moved to the Ratzeburg Cathedral as provost . From April 1934, this position was connected to that of the state superintendent of the church district of Schönberg, which comprised the area of ​​the former principality of Ratzeburg .

With the demarcation as a result of the Second World War , Schreiber, who stayed in Ratzeburg, lost most of his spiritual supervisory area. The cathedral and its parish, to which the Bäk also belongs, remained part of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Mecklenburg , which, however, was prevented from administering it after the founding of the GDR and therefore created the administrative district of Ratzeburg by church law in 1954 , which also looked after von Schreiber parish Ziethen included. Schreiber succeeded in turning the Ratzeburg cathedral courtyard into a center for the Mecklenburg residents living in the west and in bringing the Mecklenburg church records that had been outsourced to the cathedral archive. In 1961, he also gave permanent residence to the Ratzeburg parament workshop , which was founded in Lübeck in 1954 and was then located in the cathedral monastery .

He retired on October 31, 1964, but was still in charge of the cathedral archives on a voluntary basis until his death.

He was married to Margarete, geb. Burmeister (born August 11, 1902 - † May 22, 1984).
