Ludwig Karl Dietrich Giseke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Karl Dietrich Giseke (born December 3, 1884 in Magdeburg , † December 17, 1953 in Halle (Saale) ) was a pastor from Halle who campaigned for the establishment and maintenance of Protestant kindergartens.

Life

Ludwig Karl Dietrich Giseke was the son of the grammar school director Paul Giseke. After attending high school in Magdeburg, he studied theology in Göttingen and Halle / Saale . The preacher's seminary in Naumburg was followed by ordination in the Magdeburg Cathedral in 1909 . Further stations of his work were in Queis , in the prison chaplaincy in Aschersleben as well as in Borne (1913) and in Aken (1918). In 1912 he married Charlotte Dorothee Eggers. Giseke was pastor in the parish of St. Georgen in Halle an der Saale and youth pastor. When the parish St. Georgen-Süd (later parish “Am Gesundbrunnen”) was formed in 1933, he was the founding pastor and stayed there until his death in 1953.

Act

In 1933 the St. Georgen-Süd parish, whose pastor was Giseke, founded a kindergarten that is still working today. Since 1837 there have been child protection facilities in Halle. Giseke took up the diaconal and social work of these institutions. He was involved in Protestant social work and was awarded the honorary certificate of the Minister for People's Welfare Heinrich Hirtsiefer in the early 1930s . In addition, Giseke headed the Young Men’s Association of Central Saxony and was chairman of the Association for Protestant Child Care (eV), which existed until 1941.

When in 1941 the National Socialist People's Welfare Association (NSV) also claimed the kindergartens in Halle, Ludwig Giseke had no way of preventing this de facto expropriation. The consistory of the province in Magdeburg only regretted it, without questioning the decision.

After the end of the war, all nine kindergartens were able to resume their work on June 1st with American support. He headed the working group of Protestant kindergartens in the parish of Halle (Saale) - Stadt, initiated by Giseke, until his death. On August 4, 1945, Giseke received the certificate of appointment from the new mayor, Karl Pretzsch , to work as a member of the city's educational advisory board for young people at risk.
