Life

Lüpke grew up in Hermannsburg and Bethel . He studied theology in Tübingen , Erlangen and Göttingen .

In 1925 he retired to devote himself entirely to journalism and moved to Göttingen.

Act

Lüpke's main merit was the publication of the magazine "Die Dorfkirche" (since 1907), "Illustrated monthly for the care of religious life in local and popular forms". The writer Heinrich Sohnrey had won him over for it. The German village church movement , which gave Lüpke a profile and impetus, came about through regional gatherings of readers .
