Karl-Ludwig Voss
Karl-Ludwig Voss (born January 16, 1940 in Breslau ; † May 13, 2018 in Reddehausen ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran theologian and dean.
Voss studied Protestant theology in Marburg, Göttingen and Lund (Sweden) from 1960 to 1964. In 1965 he was ordained in Lund. From 1966 to 1968 he was pastor at St. Mary's Church in Helsingborg. In 1968 he received his doctorate in Marburg and was then pastor in Nieder Grenzebach (Schwalm) from 1968 to 1994. From 1994 to 2005 he was dean of the Marburg-Land parish.
He translated the song “Se, vi går upp till Jerusalem” by the Swedish pastor and hymn poet Paul Nilsson into German in 1970 (“See we go up to Jerusalem”). As a result, it was included in the Hesse-Nassau regional part of the Evangelical Hymnal (EG). It is proposed today in the Evangelical Church in Germany as a weekly song for the last Sunday of the pre-Lent period, Estomihi.
