Life
Hans Werner Ohse was a son of the court secretary Karl Ohse. He grew up in Dargun , attended schools in Demmin , Greifswald and Wismar and studied German and Protestant theology at the universities of Tübingen and Greifswald. In 1924 he joined the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg as vicar in Bad Doberan ; For two years he was pastor for Inner Mission in Rostock . In 1927 he was appointed to the first parish of the Marienkirche in Boizenburg / Elbe .
Ohse was one of the first and harshest critics of the takeover of power by the German Christians close to the National Socialists in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg . In June 1934 there was therefore the Schwerin trial before a special court in which he and six other pastors (his younger Boizenburg colleague Christian Berg , Gottfried Holtz , Henning Fahrenheim , Johannes Schwartzkopff , Viktor Wittrock from Schwerin and Walter Pagels from Rostock) for " Degradation ”of the National Socialist state and was sentenced to a fine of 1000 Reichsmarks for violating the treachery ordinance . However, as part of a general amnesty , the sentence was waived. Ohse was forcibly transferred to Federow (now part of Kargow ) and replaced in Boizenburg by Walter Wendorf, who at that time still belonged to the German Christians.
In 1937 he went to Virchow in Pomerania (today Wierzchowo (Powiat Drawski) ), where Gottfried Holtz had brought him.
In 1945 he came to Großenheidorn , then Schaumburg-Lippe , as a refugee . In 1948 he returned to Mecklenburg and became a pastor at the Holy Spirit Church (Rostock) . Parish positions followed in Dömitz from 1954 and in Gadebusch from 1961. 1967/68 he was provost in Gadebusch.
Ohse was also active in the training of catechists and author of the Mecklenburg Church Newspaper .
His son Traugott Ohse (* 1928) also became pastor in Mecklenburg and state superintendent in Bad Doberan.
