from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herbert Krimm (born November 6, 1905 in Przemyśl , Galicia, † January 22, 2002 in Karlsruhe ) was a German Protestant theologian and diaconal scholar .

Career

Herbert Krimm spent the first years of his life in the garrison town of Przemyśl in Galicia. During the First World War, the family lived in Brno and Vienna, only to find a refuge near Salzburg. Hikes with his boy scout group marked the school years. From 1923 Krimm studied Protestant theology in Vienna , where he was greatly impressed by the personalities of the church historian Karl Völker and the Eastern European historian Hans Koch . Semesters in Kiel and Zurich followed . In Kiel, the student Krimm was impressed by the encounter with the Swedish church Nathan Söderbloms and the German minority in Denmark, in Zurich he was impressed by the co-founder of dialectical theology , Emil Brunner . Krimm was ordained in 1927 in the Evangelical Church AB in Austria and worked as an assistant to the Viennese senior Erich Stökl . In 1932 he was at the University of Vienna to Dr. theol. PhD; In 1938 the habilitation in practical theology followed . From 1936, Krimm worked for the Gustav-Adolf-Verein as head of the Franz Rendtorff House in Leipzig, a home for students from the Protestant diaspora.

After working as a Wehrmacht priest and being a prisoner of war, Eugen Gerstenmaier brought Krimm to the central office of the Evangelical Aid Organization of the EKD in Stuttgart in 1946 . In 1951 he took over the management of the relief organization. Since 1952 he has been re-qualified at the University of Heidelberg , where he founded the Diaconal Science Institute in 1954 and initially served as its first director on a part-time basis. During this time he worked with the nurses' school of the University of Heidelberg and their school management, Olga Freiin von Lersner . Joint hikes were carried out with the student nurses and medical students. In 1957, when the relief organization became part of the Diakonisches Werk of the EKD, Krimm took over a pastor's office in Heidelberg-Schlierbach . In 1961 he was appointed full professor at Heidelberg University. After retirement in 1970, he worked until 1977 as a chaplain in Pfalzklinikum of Psychiatry and Neurology in Klingenmünster .

One of Herbert Krimm's main concerns was the international orientation of the Diaconal Science Institute at Heidelberg University . Paul Philippi (until 1985) and Theodor Strohm were his successors as heads of the Diakoniewwissenschaftliches Institut .

The round chapel in the orthopedic clinic of the Heidelberg University Hospital, which Krimm was allowed to build together with the architect Hanss, can be considered a monument to his liturgical and diaconal intentions.
