Julius Nagel

Leopold Julius Nagel (born September 17, 1809 in Bahn in West Pomerania , † January 17, 1884 in Breslau ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran theologian .

Nagel studied at the University of Berlin , including theology with Friedrich Schleiermacher . In 1835 he was pastor in Kolzow on the island of Wollin and since 1841 in Trieglaff (Western Pomerania) in the Prussian province of Pomerania . He was critical of the Union . This led to his resignation from his pastoral office in 1847 and resigned from the official Evangelical Church in Prussia .

He became one of the spokesmen for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prussia , which had separated itself from the Evangelical regional church and was not officially recognized. In the period 1852-1881 he was superintendent in Breslau and member of the Lutheran upper church college. For his separate church, he enforced limited rights against the official regional church and the Prussian state, including community formation. In 1869 he went public with the book The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prussia and the State .
