Heinz Hunger (theologian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Hunger (born August 28, 1907 in Radeberg ; † February 22, 1995 in Münster ) was a German theologian , sex educator and member of the German Christians .

Life

Hunger studied theology and was ordained an Evangelical Lutheran pastor in 1933 . From 1936 he administered the Friedebach community as an assistant pastor . He received his doctorate in theology.

As pastor of Sundremda , Hunger was appointed employee at the Institute for Research and Elimination of the Jewish Influence on German Church Life in 1939 and became its full-time manager, for which he was given leave of absence by the church leadership. In a contribution to a book by the scientific director Walter Grundmann , he explained: “Of course, Jewish psychoanalysis is nothing completely new. That would mean doing too much honor to the unproductivity of the Jewish race here as elsewhere. "Hunger's independent scientific work from the period before 1945 is based on a fundamentally racial-biological perspective:" Rather, this pushes me through to the actual holistic theoretical approach, because the one If the other is a Jew by blood and race and the other is German, they develop this or that characteristic. "

After 1945 he oriented himself to the field of sex education, which earned him the nickname "sex hunger". He became the editor-in-chief of the journal Der Evangelische Religionslehrer at the vocational school , which was published by the Schriftenmissionsverlag Gladbeck .
