Johannes Samuel Büttner
Johannes Samuel Büttner , also Johann Samuel Büttner (born April 28, 1831 in Harsefeld near Stade, † July 23, 1905 in Hanover ) was a German Lutheran clergyman.
family
His father, the pastor Laurentius August Wilhelm Büttner (born October 12, 1794 in Sottrum , Rotenburg district; † April 17, 1794 in Daverden) had studied theology in Göttingen from 1814, was active in the Corps Bremensia and in 1820/21 parish assistant in Sottrum. One uncle was the Sottrum pastor Johannes Samuel Büttner (1750-1820).
Büttner married Adelheid, née Hohorst, who gave him their son and later philologist Ernst August Büttner on February 19, 1881 in Henriettenstift .
Life
Johann Samuel Büttner spent his childhood in Daverden (now part of Langwedel (Weser) ) and from 1847 attended the cathedral grammar school in Verden . As a boy, Ludwig Harms impressed him at mission festivals in Hermannsburg ( Hermannsburg awakening movement ; also with Pastor Karl Konrad Münkel (1809–1888)). From 1850 he studied Protestant theology in Erlangen and from 1852 in Göttingen with Friedrich Ehrenfeuchter . During his studies he became a member of the Christian student union Uttenruthia in the winter semester of 1850/51 . In Erlangen he got in contact with the Inner and Outer Mission through the circles around Wilhelm Löhe .
Initially, as a theology candidate, he became private tutor at Freifrau von dem Knesebeck and at the same time a teacher at a girls' school in Hildesheim . From 1857–1866 he was his father's parish assistant in Daverden until he became pastor in Horneburg near Stade in 1866 .
Gerhard Uhlhorn became aware of him and in 1869 made him pastor at the Henriettenstift in Hanover. The hospital of the "Diaconissen-Anstalt" Henriettenstiftung founded by Queen Marie (in today's Marienstraße) was looked after in 1869 by 36 sisters. After initial difficulties in the founding years, the reputation of the deaconesses in the Hanoverian population grew continuously. Above all, her hospital work in Langensalza ( German War ) in 1866 received high recognition. Büttner succeeded Uhlhorn as pastor under the direction of Superior Anna Forcke . In close collaboration with Anna Forcke, who was accepted as a trial sister in 1863 and introduced as superior in 1866, he increased the number of deaconesses to 472 by 1905.
When he took up his post, however, the management structure that was previously geared solely to the superior was also changed. As in the Kaiserswerther Diakonie , Büttner took on the role of the householder, Superior Anna Forcke that of the housemother.
He also dealt with pagan missions, Lutheran diaspora care and was head of the Hanoverian Lutheran caste of God (founded in 1853). In 1881 he refused a call to Leipzig for the first parish position in the Nikolaikirche . In 1883 the University of Rostock awarded him an honorary theological doctorate .
