from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Andreas Christoph Hävernick , also Haevernick , more rarely Heinrich Hävernick , sometimes erroneous in literature Christoph Hävernick or Andreas Christoph Hävernick (born December 29, 1810 in Kröpelin , † July 19, 1845 in Neustrelitz ) was a German theologian of the revival movement .

Life

Heinrich Andreas Christoph Hävernick's parents were the provost Johann (Andreas Christoph) Hävernick (1776–1854) and his wife Henriette (Carolina Elisabeth), née. Ziegler (1791–1854), a pastor's daughter from Güstrow. His father was also a philologist and prepared him for high school. At Easter 1825 he came to the Fridericianum Schwerin . After graduating from high school, he began to study Protestant theology and Semitic languages at the University of Leipzig in 1827 . In 1828 he moved to the Friedrichs University in Halle . There he devoted himself to Old Testament science and also to the Semitic languages. At that time there was a dispute between the theological rationalists and the followers of Lutheran Orthodoxy . Hävernick became a supporter of the Orthodox August Tholuck . In 1830 there was hostility in the church newspaper of Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg against Professors Wilhelm Gesenius and Julius August Ludwig Wegscheider of the University of Halle, who represented theological rationalism. The hostility was based on the notes of Hävernick and his fellow student Nehrkorn, which were supposed to prove the non-Christianity of the teachings of Wilhelm Gesenius and Julius August Ludwig Wegscheider.

At Easter 1830, Hävernick moved to the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin . He came into closer contact with Hengstenberg and decided to work in his spirit. In 1831 he became a licentiate in theology and a doctorate in philosophy . After completing his studies, he was appointed professor at the École de théologie founded by the Société évangélique de Genève in 1832 on the recommendation of Hengstenberg and Tholuck .

Returned to Germany in 1834 and supported by Auguste von Mecklenburg-Schwerin , Hävernick completed his habilitation in the same year at the Theological Faculty of the University of Rostock for theology, albeit against resistance from various sides, also within his own faculty. This resistance was evident in the disputation ; Sharp contrasts between the awesome Habilitand Hävernick and the rest of the faculty emerged. In the journal Critical preacher library appeared a slating his habilitation . It closes with the sentence: “What will happen to our universities if the right to give theological lectures is granted to such a dragonfly ?” Nevertheless, in 1837 he was appointed associate professor for theology in Rostock. He also preached at the university church in the monastery of the Holy Cross .

Friedrich Eichhorn , head of the Prussian Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs , appointed him in 1841 as full professor for the Old Testament at the Albertus University in Königsberg . Here, too, Hävernick was attacked, especially by Caesar von Lengerke . In his faculty, Hävernick was the only one with his line of thought . At his inaugural lecture on November 1, 1841, the students left the lecture hall. In contrast, the Königsberg Senior Citizens' Convention brought Professor v. Lengerk serenade him on the evening of the same day . A new quantum appeared in the Königsberg beer comment , the “Hävernick”. In the winter semester of 1846/47, a drinking horn filled with a bottle of brown beer (four glasses of beer) was routinely referred to as an "Eichhorn" with insulting mockery of the Minister of Culture Eichhorn. Only in the course of time did general opinion change and Hävernick found recognition for his work. He was married to Johanna born in 1841. Gerling (1816–1861), the daughter of a large south Mecklenburg pastor family. In 1845 he traveled to Berlin and underwent heart surgery. He then visited his wife's relatives in Neustrelitz. There he died on July 19, 1845 at the age of 35.
