career

After Ziesenitz on Stephaneum the certificate of maturity was, he went to study the Protestant theology to Halle then Berlin . He passed his first theological exam in 1905 and his second in 1908. He was vicar in Beetzendorf , assistant preacher in Spandau and teacher in Straussberg . After his ordination on December 1, 1908 in Magdeburg Cathedral , Ziesenitz became an independent assistant preacher in the village church of Solpke .

The Protestant parish of St. Johannes in Kücknitz was founded in 1909. In the Jakobikirche in Lübeck , Ziesenitz was elected as pastor for the new congregation. Since his pastorate was not ready to move into when he took office, he first lived for four weeks with the lord of the manor Eggers in Dänischburg before he lived in the Geibel rooms in the Waldhusen forester's house until its completion in October 1910 . On the day of the consecration of the Kücknitzer Church, designed by Carl Mühlenpfordt in 1908, on November 27, 1910 by Senior Lindenberg, Ziesenitz was introduced as its first pastor.

As a talented speaker , he gained a reputation early on as a member of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities and wrote regularly in its Lübeck papers . He gave lectures such as Geibel as a prophet or Detlev v. Liliencron's first love . At their meeting on February 29, 1916, Ziesenitz was elected to be one of the library heads. As a member of the Association for Combating Trash and Filth in Words and Images , he gave a lecture on March 19, 1917 on the "New Religious Folk Art". He reported on his trip to a German corps in Romania on September 25, 1917. After the end of the war, the topics of his lectures went back further into the past. On October 1, 1918, he gave a lecture on old pocket calendars and the following year on Goethe's Leipzig and his fashion and Johann Jakob Bodmer's newly found example of freedom . He wrote a review of the play "Beland" by Gerhart Hauptmann , which premiered at the Lübeckier Theater in 1925 . Ziesenitz paid tribute to the educator Eilhard Erich Pauls on the 100th anniversary of his birthday. From then on, his contributions turned to literature. He discussed Gabriel Scott's Und Gott , The Ferry House by Wilhelm Scharrelmann , The Hilarious Theologian by Euthymius Haas , Ferdinand Zacchis Volk an der See or the new edition of Max Metzger's Der Gangbutscher . A greeting to the “Nordic-German Writers' Conference” came from him. Emanuel Stickelberger was honored by him. In 1934 he wrote another review of Carl Hauptmann's play Forest People . His last essay, author and theater , printed here , was due to appear in 1938.

Ziesenitz felt at home in his "old" Kücknitz. In his eyes the traditional social fabric was destroyed by the wave of immigration. In his writings he made no mention of the people wearing the new Kücknitz. Nevertheless, he knew that because of the fate of Julius Havemann he described, those who reject the new will fail.

Following the example of the parent company, Ziesenitz founded the non-profit association Kücknitz und Umgegend (GMVK) in 1911 , was its first chairman and was the only one to appear outwardly for him. The association only received a statute in 1924 and has been named after that ever since. The association demanded a chapel for the Waldhusener Friedhof , participated in the general development plan for Kücknitz, the designation of the Dummersdorfer Ufer as a "planar natural monument", set up a dance floor for the forest festivals taking place in Schlünz'schen Park or founded in 1930 together with the workers' welfare organization and the two Christian ones Denominations the "winter aid". In order to avoid the forced dissolution of the non-profit association by the National Socialists, it dissolved itself in 1933.

With gifts of love in the Eastern Army

Ziesenitz was highly valued in Lübeck. In April 1915, Ziesewitz and the deputy chairman of the National Warrior Association brought gifts of love for the Lübeck Landwehr fighting in the east . The Corps Morgen , until the outbreak of war, Curt von Morgen was the commander of the 81st Infantry Brigade in the Hanseatic city , and fought against the 12th Russian Army on the Rawka . It was not possible for the commanding general to personally receive his Lübeck guests in the stage near Łowicz . In 1917 Ziesenitz was again allowed to bring gifts of love from Lübeck to the East. Again together with the deputy chairman of the National Warrior Association he left the city on August 26, 1917 and reached the morning corps , which was deployed in Romania at that time , on September 5, 1917. In Focşani they were this time by Curt von Morgen, the they gave and received the gifts of love.

Ziezenitz gives the memorial speech (1916)

From him the celebrations for the opening of were honorary cemetery on June 6, 1915 a pedestal in the courtyard with the building of serving sermon , Ziesenitz had to the occasion in verse 5 of the third chapter of the second book of Genesis from the King James ajar , in the presence of the mayor, Johann Hermann Eschenburg , and the commander of the reserve battalion of the local regiment , Colonel v. Kuenheim, members of the Senate and the officer corps , members of the citizenry and other guests of honor , as well as the warrior association united in the National Warrior Association opened. The following year he gave the memorial address for the fallen in the same place at Pentecost.

On January 24, 1918, Ziesenitz joined the Masonic Movement and entered the St. John's Lodge "Temple of Friendship". His special gift as a speaker paved the way for him and in 1928 he became its "Chairman Master" and remained so until it was forced to be dissolved by the National Socialists . The Temple of Friendship was not reconstituted after the end of the war; Instead, Ziesenitz joined the Zum Füllhorn Lodge , of which he was Meister from 1949 to 1956.

The Lübeck citizenship belonged Ziesenitz from 1922 until 1926th As a member of the German People's Party (DVP) he belonged in 1922/23 to the "Nonpartisan Working Group of the Citizens' Union" and in 1924/25 to the "Nonpartisan Group Economic Community". As a consequence of the affair surrounding the mayor Johann Martin Andreas Neumann , the Hanseatic Volksbund , to which Ziesenitz was a member, was founded in 1926 . In 1925 and 1926 he was the first spokesman for the citizens' committee .

The celebrations for the 25th anniversary of the parish in 1933 were used by the NSDAP to rename the church square to Schlageter-Platz and to erect a corresponding memorial there. The dedication speech of the monument was given by Beckemeier, pastor at the Petrikirche .

After 1933, the Lübeck DVP was absorbed by the NSDAP and Ziesenitz thus became its party member. However, his membership in the Masonic Lodge already resulted in his expulsion from the party in 1934. Until the end of the Second World War he belonged to the National Socialist People's Welfare of the local group Lübeck-Kücknitz and the movement of German Christians . In the Lübeck church fight he was one of the few Lübeck pastors who were loyal to the German-Christian and National Socialist Bishop Erwin Balzer until the end of 1945 . The ruling chamber of the church's denazification commission recommended early retirement . After his departure on December 31, 1946, he moved into his retirement home at Brehmerstrasse No. 3 and remained in his community as a pastoral representative until the end of 1947.

In 1945 Ziesenitz was again working in a prominent position in the Masonic Lodge. Towards the end of 1947, the "non-profit association for Kücknitz and the surrounding area" was re-established by 21 old members with the consent of the occupying power , the old statutes were put back into force and Ziesenitz, which was now classified as "unencumbered" or "exonerated", was again 1st chairperson. He left the club in 1948 in the Register of Associations Register. In 1948 the association organized waste disposal , supported the chapel in the cemetery, which was built in 1950, and achieved temporary success with the maintenance of bathing areas on Dummersdorfer Ufer and Herreninsel ...

At the instigation of Fritz Körner, Siems split off from GMVK in 1952 .

Ziesenitz was already absent from half of the monthly meetings in 1953 and announced at the annual general meeting on January 11, 1954 that he no longer wanted to run for the office of 1st chairman for health reasons. At the same meeting he was then elected honorary chairman of the association.

When Ziesenitz became seriously ill in 1955, the illness forced him to give up his position as "Chairman Master" in the Masonic Lodge.

His body was buried in the Waldhusener cemetery .

Ziesenitz Park

When the Kücknitzer bypass road was built in 1953, a so-called triangular square was created at the confluence with the old Travemünder Landstrasse, which was designed like a park by GMVK . The construction of the B75 in the direction of Travemünde increased it in the 1960s. In 1987 the area on the (current) Solmitzstrasse was given the necessary design and the name Ziesenitz-Park .

family

Ziesenitz had married Christiane, born Kallenbach, on October 5, 1909 in Gardelegen .

The marriage produced three sons.
