resume

Albrecht studied Protestant theology at the Georg August University in Göttingen and at the Kaiser Wilhelm University in Strasbourg . After completing his studies, he worked in Scharnebeck near Lüneburg in the service of the ev.-luth. Regional Church of Hanover. In 1889 he resigned from his pastoral office. Since then he has worked in the Catholic Apostolic Churches, most recently in Bremen . Since he spoke many other European languages besides Turkish and Russian , his work was particularly directed abroad.

Albrecht served from 1900 to 1931 for the Catholic-Apostolic congregations as the so-called “Archangel of the General Church”, which roughly corresponds to an archbishop with supraregional tasks. He was the last living archangel of the Catholic apostolic congregations and, as the last living higher or last highest church servant of the congregations , traveled a lot through the congregations. Since he often traveled by plane to cover these long distances, he was nicknamed "flying angel".
