Hermann Weingarten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Georg Wilhelm Hermann Weingarten (born March 12, 1834 in Berlin , † April 22, 1892 in Pöpelwitz near Breslau ) was a Protestant church historian .

Life

Hermann Weingarten attended the Berlin high school at the Gray Monastery . From 1853 he studied theology in Jena and Berlin. During his studies in 1856 he became a member of the Arminia fraternity in the castle cellar . In 1862 he completed his habilitation at the University of Berlin , where he has taught as a private lecturer ever since. In 1868 he was appointed associate professor; at the same time (1858-64) he was adjunct at the royal Joachimsthal grammar school and until 1873 senior teacher at the Andreas school. In 1873 he was appointed full professor in Marburg , in 1876 in Breslau .

Weingarten's chronological tables on church history , which appeared from 1870 to 1905 in six, expanded and changed editions, were more widely used in the teaching and study activities of the time .

He also earned a special merit with the publication of Richard Rothe's lectures on church history and the history of Christian church life , which appeared in two volumes in 1875.

As a church historian, Weingarten paid particular attention to religious outsiders, the loners who were avoided and isolated because of their unorthodox character. In his publications and lectures he devoted himself above all to the mystics of the late Middle Ages, the Anabaptists, the Independents and Quakers, and the Pietists who were excluded from the Church. He felt particularly related to the pious skeptic Blaise Pascal .
