Karl Friedrich Adam Windel (* 1840 ; † Sept. 1890 , buried in Bornstedt ) was a Protestant theologian.

Life

Windel studied Protestant theology in Erlangen. In 1860 he became a member of the Erlanger Wingolf . In 1867 he became a preacher at the Charité church in Berlin . Two years later he became court preacher at the Friedenskirche in Potsdam ; he was considered the protégé of Princess Victoria, later named Empress Friedrich . Windel was a member of the Karl Hermann von Wangenheim family ; there he met Theodor Fontane in the 1860s , with whom he was friends until his death. Windel acted as a conversation leader at the bi- weekly Schopenhauer evenings in the Wangenheim house in the 1870s.

Literary figure

Windel was the archetype of Father Feßler in Theodor Fontane's novel Count Petöfy . Fontane certified Windel a "mixture of orthodoxy and Schopenhauer" and commented: "It was a feat to combine this."

Works

It is uncertain, but not to be ruled out, that Dr. Karl Friedrich Adam Windel is identical to that used as Dr. Karl Windel named the author of the book Graf Friedrich Leopold Stolberg , which appeared in Frankfurt am Main in 1866.
