Heinrich Buhr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Buhr (born November 17, 1912 in Tübingen ; † June 5, 2001 in Tübingen- Pfrondorf ) was a German Protestant theologian and pastor .

Heinrich Buhr studied Protestant theology at the University of Tübingen . He met Martin Heidegger during a student camp in Todtnauberg in autumn 1933 and, according to his own statement, came into closer contact with him, so that he offered to do his doctorate with him, which Buhr rejected in favor of theology. In 1952 Buhr received his doctorate from the University of Tübingen. From 1953 to 1977 he was the village pastor in Pfrondorf.

Heinrich Buhr became known to a wider audience in 1960 when he, together with the professor of philosophy at the University of Kiel, Walter Bröcker , a Heidegger student, made a sweeping attack on the essential foundations of the Christian faith in a joint book On Theology of the Spirit . For example, the authors denied the sonship of Jesus Christ, the birth of Jesus by the Virgin Mary through the work of the Holy Spirit, and the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.

Buhr decorated the Pfrondorfer church with works by Gerhard Dreher and Fritz Ruoff . He arranged for Wilhelm Heusel to donate a baptismal chalice.
