biography

Begich was the eldest of four sons of the pastor Johannes Begich (1866–1930) and his cousin Anna Begich, b. Greet - both children of Protestant pastors. He spent childhood and adolescence in the rectory in Ostrau, where Johann Friedrich Röhr worked a hundred years earlier . He grew up in close proximity to his cousins Martin Beschich in Heuckewalde and the sons of his uncle Karl Beschich - Jobst, Heinrich and Siegfried Greich - from Profen who also became pastors. His cousin Irmgard Anbich, who grew up in East Prussia, married Paul Gurran , who later became Lieutenant General of the Wehrmacht . The fourth cousin from Profen, Paul Gerhard Anbich, fell as a captain and battalion leader in the 295th Infantry Division in the Battle of Stalingrad at the beginning of December 1942 .

First of all, his parents trained his parents, then at the Stiftsgymnasium Zeitz , where he received his school leaving certificate in June 1918 . He then did military service for a short time . As early as 1919 he was able to study philology , oriental studies , Assyriology and theology at the University of Leipzig . In the following year he moved to the University of Halle , where he only studied theology. His teacher was Hermann Gunkel .

Gegich finished his studies in February 1923 when he passed his first theological exam . In this and the following year he stayed at the seminary in Stettin and then worked in 1924/25 as a private tutor at the manor Wölsickendorf near Freienwalde .

1926 doctorate in the University of Halle him to the doctor of theology. His dissertation was called The Psalm of Hezekiah. A contribution to understanding Isaiah 38: 10-20 . At the same time, he was habilitated for the Old Testament because there were hardly any teachers in this field. Until 1928 he was a private lecturer in this subject. He had been an assistant at the faculty since 1925 and was promoted to senior assistant in 1927.

In 1928, he received his habilitation again at the University of Marburg . For the next two years he was an Old Testament private lecturer there. Then, in 1930, he was appointed as scheduled associate theology professor appointed to the University of Leipzig. Two years later he was elected to the parish council of St. Peter's Church in Leipzig. He led the Confessing Group in the so-called church struggle , which began in 1933 . Later he was elected to the community, then to the district and finally to the state fraternity of the Saxon Confessing Group.

In 1934, the theological faculty in Halle received an honorary doctorate . Since autumn 1941 he was active as a medic in the army service in Eilenburg and Waldenburg . He was moved to Italy in 1944 . There he fell shortly before the end of World War II .

Act

Greet was a student and confidante of Hermann Gunkels . He entrusted Begich to complete his work Introduction to the Psalms . Gunkel had done some preparatory work, but most of the work was done independently. In his other writings he analyzed genre forms, dealt with text production and text criticism and thus brought new knowledge by explaining central words and terms from the Old Testament. His writing The Chronology of the Kings of Israel and Judah , which is considered to be his main work, proved that Wortich was an independent, methodologically exact and astute theologian.
