Johann Michael Szeberinyi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Michael Szeberinyi (born February 16, 1825 in Schemnitz , Kingdom of Hungary ; † January 21, 1915 Vienna ), (also Szeberényi or Szeberiny ) was pastor in Hungary, Protestant garrison preacher (military superintendent) in the Black Spaniard Church in Vienna's 9th district and Professor of Theology at the Evangelical Theological Faculty in Vienna.

Life

Szeberinyi came from a Slovak family with a Magyarophile inclination and was born as the son of the pastor and later superintendent of the Mining Diocese of Schemnitz, Johann Szeberinyi and the pastor's daughter Esther Szeberinyi (née Podhraczky de Nemes Podhradj). He grew up trilingual ( Slovak , Hungarian , German ).

He attended the district high school in Schemnitz and in 1842 began to study law at the college in Prešov . He switched to philosophy and theology relatively soon and graduated with the examen pro candidatura with his father and with Superintendent Paul Josephy. He then continued his studies in 1845, first at the University of Jena under Professors Guyet , Hase , Reinhold , Rückert , Schwarz , Stoy , Weißenborn and Wolff and later at the University of Berlin under Hengstenberg , Neander , Dove , Ritter , Strauss and Trendelenburg . In the last semester he won second prize for a prize assignment issued by the theological faculty with his work Comperetur nobis ecclesia Scriptura sacra cum notione ecclesia in libris Symbolicis .

He returned to his homeland in 1847, first working for his father and then becoming an educator and private tutor in the house of the von Gosztonyi family near Vác . On 22 May 1849 he was by his own father ordained and went as German priest after Nagybörzsönyn (German-Pilsen), from where he 1853 Egyház-Maroth changed. After his father's death in 1857 he was called back to Schemnitz as superintendent and pastor in his place.

He campaigned for the royal Protestant patent issued in 1859 and endeavored to coordinate his community within the meaning of this patent and to join the newly founded patent superintendent of superintendent Karol Kuzmány . His ideas were, however, diametrically opposed to the attitude of his community, which repeatedly asked him to either switch to the opponents of the patent ("autonomists") or to resign from the pastor's office. He refused to divulge the aims of the patent and "to betray the cause to the highest state authority".

Szeberinyi was elected to the Consistorial Council by the Evangelical Lutheran Superintendent in the spring of 1859 and appointed as a garrison preacher to the Black Spaniard Church in Vienna in 1860. This move to Vienna freed him from this conflict.

When Professor Karol Kuzmány ended his teaching activities at the (then independent) Evangelical Theological Faculty in Vienna in 1863, Szeberinyi was commissioned to supply the practical theological courses and, due to his loyal attitude to the king during the revolution in 1848 , passed the highest resolution of 23 November 1863 (against the opposition of the professorial college favored by Gerhard von Zezschwitz ) appointed full professor for practical theology and canon law.

Szeberinyi was awarded an honorary doctorate by the conservative Lutheran faculty of the University of Rostock in 1864 and, as an advisory board member in the Reich Ministry of War, he was awarded the title of military superintendent in 1869 .

Szeberinyi was a member of the Association for the Defense against Anti-Semitism , which brought him the hostility of the German national student body towards the end of his teaching activities.

He retired in 1895 .
