Hans von Schubert

Hans Georg Wilhelm von Schubert (born December 12, 1859 in Dresden , † May 6, 1931 in Heidelberg ) was a German Protestant theologian and historian.

Life

Schubert came from an old Saxon civil servant family. His father was the Saxon Lieutenant General Gustav von Schubert (1824–1907). His mother Mathilde Barth came from Hamburg. Through his mother he was a nephew of Heinrich Barth , who traveled to Africa, and on his father's side traces of his ancestry can be traced back to the Nuremberg council clerk and reformer Lazarus Spengler .

After obtaining his higher education entrance qualification at the Vitzthum-Gymnasium Dresden , von Schubert initially studied history and literary history at the universities of Leipzig , Bonn , Strasbourg and Zurich . But soon he switched to studying theology, for which he attended the University of Tübingen and the University of Halle-Wittenberg . In 1884 he received his doctorate in history from the University of Strasbourg and in 1887 was employed as a teacher at the Rauhen Haus in Hamburg.

In 1891 Schubert became an associate professor of theology with a focus on church history at the University of Strasbourg, where he received an honorary theological doctorate in 1892. In the same year he went to Kiel University as a full professor of theology , became a consistorial councilor and member of the Kiel consistory of the Schleswig-Holstein regional church in 1897 and moved to Heidelberg University in 1906 as a full professor of theology . There he became secretary of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences , was a full member of the Baden Historical Commission and in 1919 took over the chairmanship of the Association for the History of the Reformation .
