Heinrich Holtzmann
Heinrich Julius Holtzmann (born May 17, 1832 in Karlsruhe , † August 4, 1910 in Baden-Baden - Lichtental ) was a German Protestant theologian .
Heinrich Holtzmann, a son of the theologian Karl Julius Holtzmann , studied Protestant theology in Heidelberg and Berlin from 1850 to 1854. Formative teachers were Wilhelm Vatke and Richard Rothe . He was a member of the Christian student associations Berliner Wingolf and Heidelberger Wingolf . After receiving his doctorate in 1858, he first worked as a teacher at the seminary . In 1861 he became an associate professor and in 1865 a full professor of theology in Heidelberg . In 1874 he went to Strasbourg in this capacity . There he taught until his retirement in 1904 and served as rector in 1878 .
Holtzmann is considered to be the main representative of the ecclesiastical direction of the German Protestant Association . In his writings he combines a strict, critical conception with the understanding of human, Christian-religious problems. Holtzmann was one of the most important representatives of historical-critical exegesis and dealt primarily with the New Testament . Even in his early work The Synoptic Gospels, Their Origin and Historical Character (1863), he convincingly developed the two-source theory .
From 1867 to 1870 Holtzmann was a member of the second chamber of the Baden Estates Assembly for the electoral district of Heidelberg .
His wife was the daughter of the historian Georg Weber . The women's rights activist and politician Adelheid Steinmann was his daughter. The historian Robert Holtzmann and the hygienist Friedrich Holtzmann were his sons.
