Hermann von Tardy (Czech name form: Heřman z Tardy ; born November 19, 1832 in Hussinetz , Strehlen district , province of Silesia , † March 15, 1917 in Prague ) was a Czech Reformed pastor and senior church councilor .

Life

Hermann von Tardy came from a pastor's family. His grandfather Moses Tardy (Czech Mojžíš Tardy, 1759-1837) came from Hungary and became a pastor in Libice , his father Josef z Tardy was from 1826 pastor in Hussinetz near Strehlen. His mother was Charlotte Henriette Meißner. Heřman z Tardy only spoke German until the age of ten and was therefore sent by his father to his brother Mojžíš z Tardy (1805-1858) in Nebudzel (now Nebužely) to learn Czech. From 1846 he attended the Reformed Gymnasium in Breslau . Tardy studied Protestant theology from 1854 to 1855 at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg and finished his studies in 1856 at the Friedrichs-Universität Halle . He was initially employed as a private tutor in Kempen and passed his pastor's examination in Posen in 1858 . From 1858 to 1867 he worked as a pastor in Hořátev and from 1865 to 1867 published the religious magazine Hlasy ze Siona ("Voices from Zion"). As the parish priest, he maintained contact with Kohlbrügges Elberfeld parish . He was also friends with Eduard Böhl , who taught at the Evangelical Theological Faculty of the University of Vienna . Together they published an edition of the Second Helvetic Confession in 1866 , which Tardy translated into Czech.

Hermann von Tardy was appointed to the Oberkirchenrat of the Evangelical Church HB in Vienna in 1867 . In 1869 he visited Czech evangelical diaspora communities in America on behalf of the church. Czech Reformed church services in Vienna were held in the Reformed City Church, where Tardy also preached. In 1891 he initiated the establishment of the Association for the Establishment of a Czech Evangelical Reformed Congregation , which soon worked together with the Lutheran Czechs and Slovaks in Vienna, the "Brothers from Hernals " under the spiritual direction of theology professor Gustav Adolf Skalský . Plans to build his own community center came to nothing during his lifetime. Hermann von Tardy retired in 1904.
