Henri Lutteroth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henri Lutteroth , also Henry Lutteroth , actually Ascan Theodor Heinrich Lutteroth (born January 29, 1802 in Leipzig , † February 11, 1889 in Paris ) was a Franco-German Protestant publicist.

Life

Heinrich Lutteroth came from the wealthy Mühlhausen cloth merchant family Lutteroth. He was the eldest son of the banker Christian Wilhelm Lutteroth (born October 28, 1772 in Mühlhausen, † April 14, 1849 in Paris) and his wife Johanna Catharina (Jeanne), née. Manskopf (born November 5, 1780 in Frankfurt / Main, † March 24, 1866 in Paris). The Hamburg merchant, banker and senator Ascan Wilhelm Lutteroth was a cousin of his father.

After the family moved to Paris, Henri devoted himself to writing in the service of Protestant evangelization . He was one of the founders of a number of awakening societies, including the Société évangélique de France , the Traktatgesellschaft Société des traités religieux and the Société de l'histoire du protestantisme français .

He published various journals, including in 1826 Almanach des bons conseils and in 1833 the weekly Le Semeur, journal hebdomadaire de politique, de philosophie et de littérature , in which he a. a. the Société française pour l'abolition de l'esclavage offered a journalistic platform.

In 1834 he and his wife Henriette, geb. Cleman († 1880) published a collection of Protestant church chants together with his own translations and poems under the title Chants chrétiens , which had ten editions by 1872 and had a major influence on the development of Protestant church chant in France.

Since the 1850s he has mainly been concerned with exegetical and historical work.

He was the father-in-law of William Henry Waddington and lived for a long time at his Château de Bourneville near La Ferté-Milon . Like him, he was buried in the Lutteroth family grave on the Père Lachaise .
