Johannes Pautke (born April 8, 1888 in Freienwalde , † November 24, 1955 in Lübeck ) was a German Lutheran theologian and bishop .

Life

After studying in Rostock, Halle and Berlin, Johannes Pautke passed his first theological exam in 1910 and his second theological exam in 1912 after a period at the Cathedral Candidate Foundation in Berlin . After his ordination he was first assistant preacher in Rixdorf / Neukölln , then in 1914 on Usedom . In 1914 he was appointed pastor at the Marienkirche in Lübeck . In the church struggle from 1933 he was one of the prominent representatives of the Confessing Church in Lübeck, for which he was disciplined in December 1936 with loss of office and house arrest at the instigation of the German Christian Bishop Erwin Balzer and Senator Hans Böhmcker . Both measures had to be withdrawn in April 1937 after protests and negotiations. With the air raid on Lübeck on March 29, 1942 , he had to experience the extensive destruction of the Marienkirche. In 1945 he became provost and member of the church leadership, in 1948 bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lübeck . In 1951 he received an honorary doctorate from the Theological Faculty of Kiel University .
