Karl Albert Ernst Friedrich Theodor Horn (born July 16, 1869 in Neustrelitz ; † July 5, 1942 in Hamburg ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran clergyman, state superintendent of Mecklenburg-Strelitz , chief pastor of the main church Sankt Jacobi (Hamburg) and the last senior church leader of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Hamburg state .

Life

Karl Horn was a son of Neustrelitz court advisor and chamber secretary Paul Horn († 1887) and his wife Anna, née. Ohl, a daughter of the superintendent Hermann Leberecht Ohl . He attended the Carolinum grammar school (Neustrelitz) . From 1887 to 1891 he studied Protestant theology at the universities of Leipzig, Erlangen and Rostock. From 1891 to 1898 he was the tutor of the later Grand Duke Adolf Friedrich VI. von Mecklenburg-Strelitz worked at the court in Neustrelitz. In 1898 he was ordained and received an appointment as pastor in Mirow . After receiving his doctorate as Lic. Theol. In 1903 he became consistorial assessor in the Grand Ducal Consistory and member of the theological examination committee. In 1904 he headed the funeral ceremonies for the late Grand Duke Friedrich Wilhelm II. In 1904, as the successor to Gustav Langbein , he became state superintendent, consistorial councilor and court preacher in Neustrelitz and thus the leading clergyman in Mecklenburg-Strelitz. He managed the conversion of conventional kind remuneration of the clergy to a fixed money income; he was also able to enforce a pension law.

In 1916 he was appointed senior pastor at the Jakobikirche in Hamburg. From 1929 he was senior clergyman of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Hamburg state .

In 1933 the Synod President Simon Schöffel convened an extraordinary regional synod , where the majority of the Synod of the Young Reformation Movement and the German Christians Horn forced to resign. The synod replaced the elected church leadership consisting of senior and church councilors with the office of regional bishop , previously unknown in Hamburg , for which Schöffel took office and into which he was elected.

Horn was involved in the World Alliance for International Friendship Work of Churches , a member of the Society for the Study of Religions and chairman of the Liturgical Conference of Lower Saxony .
