Life

Julius Pentzlin was born in Wismar in 1837. His father was Friedrich Pentzlin (1796-1870), a doctor at the city hospital of Wismar, his mother Henriette Marie Charlotte Anders (* Wismar June 18, 1805, † Wismar December 4, 1882) was the daughter of the Kommerzienrat Johann Heinrich Anders in Wismar.

He went to school in Wismar and graduated from high school there. Instead of philology and history, he began to study theology. In Erlangen he studied from 1855 with Franz Delitzsch and Johann von Hofmann . In the nearby Neuendettelsau he heard Wilhelm Löhe preach, who founded a deaconess mother house there. In Tübingen (1857/58) he lived in a house in which - as he learned many years later - the poet Ludwig Uhland was born.

Julius Pentzlin was not a member of any student association. In addition to studying conservative Lutheran theology with Baur, he was particularly fond of Swabian Pietism . He made music with the family of the surgeon Victor von Bruns . From Easter 1858 he spent his last semester at the local University of Rostock. Michael Baumgarten had just been released there. Privately, Julius Pentzlin opened the houses of the families of the theologian Friedrich Adolf Philippi and the cantor and teacher Ludwig Theodor Künne. In Wismar in 1862 he married his daughter Marie Künne (* Rostock April 20, 1840, † November 16, 1916).

Pentzlin made his tentamen (preliminary examination) in Parchim in 1859 and became a teacher at the pre-school of the grammar school in Parchim in 1860. Soon afterwards, in 1861, he became rector of the city school in Teterow and, from 1864, assistant preacher there. In Bützow he was pastor from 1866 and from 1875 to 1917 he was pastor in Hagenow. In Hagenow he was appointed a prepositus in 1889 and a councilor in 1897. On the occasion of his 50th anniversary in office in 1910, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Rostock.

Together with Friedrich Hashagen, he founded the Lutheran Bund and in 1899 was one of the founders of the journal Der alte Glaube. Julius Pentzlin was also a promoter of the deaconry with word and writing. His daughter Annemarie Pentzlin (* 1874 Bützow, † 1955 Neuendettelsau) became a deaconess in 1896. She initially taught at the grammar school in Nuremberg and later led the kindergarten teacher seminar in Neuendettelsau. In addition, Pentzlin wrote in the Mecklenburg News about the Mecklenburg church conditions. Like his father, he was a member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology.

Julius Pentzlin died on March 13, 1917 in Hagenow. The memorial speech at the coffin was held by Oberkirchenrat Heinrich Behm . An obituary appeared in the Bethlehem messenger .
