Ludwig Lehmann (pastor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Karl Rudolf Lehmann (born January 21, 1867 in Karthaus ; † March 19, 1947 in Berlin ) was a Protestant pastor and writer on historical topics with a focus on the history of the Church and Reformation of the Mark Brandenburg.

Life

Ludwig Karl Rudolf Lehmann was born as the son of the Prussian gendarme August Lehmann and his wife Marie, née Hornberger, in the province of West Prussia . He attended high school in Danzig and then studied theology at the Universities of Königsberg , Berlin and Leipzig . He passed the second theological examination in March 1890 after having passed the first examination two years earlier. After ordination on August 7, 1891, he became parish vicar in Oberbuschkau, West Prussia . During his probationary period he administered the rectory in Oberbuschkau. Lehmann left this diaspora preacher in 1892 to become the owner of a pastorate in the Prussian province of Brandenburg. His ecclesiastical personal file, which was created by the Royal Consistory of the Province of West Prussia on May 8, 1888, when he was still a candidate for theology, cand. Theol , was sent to the now responsible Royal Consistory of the Province of Brandenburg. Lehmann became a pastor in Hermersdorf in 1893 . In addition to his duties as a clergyman, Lehmann had to administer the village church. The church was built as a stone building in the 13th century and a tower with a tent roof was added to the nave in the first half of the 16th century. In 1909, Lehmann moved to the second pastor of the parish Wittenberge in the administrative district of Potsdam . Here he preached in the Protestant parish church on the church square. Pastor Lehmann's duties included a. that of a prison chaplain , which he exercised at what was then the judicial prison of the local court in Perleberger Strasse. Due to the size of his family, Lehmann moved several times within the city of Wittenberge. When the Vaterländische Verlags- und Kunstanstalt of the Berlin City Mission published Lehmann's first major work, the Wittenberg pastor lived at Lenzener Str. 71 according to the city's address book from 1921.

Main work

As a pastor in Wittenberge , Lehmann researched the ecclesiastical conditions in Prignitz before and during the Reformation and published his research in 1913 in a brochure of the same name, which was produced in the printing works of the Christian Zeitschriftenverein in Berlin. For what he called the “memorial sheet” he relied primarily on Adolph Friedrich Riedel's document book Codex Diplomaticus Brandenburgensis and on the work Die Reformation in der Mark Brandenburg by historian Johann Heinrich Julius Heidemann, first published in the Weidmann bookstore in Berlin in 1889 (* 1834; † 1901).

The German Directory of Books , for the years 1921 to 1925, edited by the Bibliographical Department of the Börsenverein der Deutschen Buchhandels zu Leipzig , first names Ludwig Lehmann's 265-page main work Pictures from the Church History of the Mark Brandenburg from the end of the Reformation century to the 300th Reformation celebration in the year 1817 , published by the Vaterländische Verlags- und Kunstanstalt in 1924. At the same time, the directory of books pointed out that this title is the continuation of Lehmann's title Pictures from the Reformation History of the Mark Brandenburg , published in Berlin in 1921 . The list of books for the years 1936 to 1940 also listed Lehmann's 271-page church history of the Mark Brandenburg from 1818 to 1932 , which he published in September 1936 in the Kranz-Verlag of the Christian Zeitschriftenverein Berlin, but which he completed in 1932.

Awards / recognitions

On July 18, 1918, Lehmann was awarded the Prussian Red Cross Medal in community service "For services to the Red Cross" during the First World War (3rd class). He also received the “Silesian Eagle” award. On the occasion of his 80th birthday on January 21, 1947, he received a letter of congratulation from his parish in Berlin-Frohnau. When he died a few weeks after his 80th birthday, the local pastor Kurt Karzig, who had known the Frohnau evangelical church member Lehmann since 1945, wrote an obituary. In it, Karzig particularly praised Lehmann's historical studies on the history of the churches and the Reformation in Brandenburg and that these were published in three volumes.

family

On April 28, 1896, Lehmann married Margarethe Caspar, who was born on November 30, 1871. His fiancée lived in Berlin. She was a daughter of the builder August Caspar from Buckow . At that time the place belonged to the Lebus district of the Prussian administrative district of Frankfurt / Oder in the Mark Brandenburg. The marriage had six children: Johannes (* 1897); Margarethe (* 1898); Hildegard (* 1900); Elisabeth (* 1901), later married Häusler; Siegfried (* 1906), Günther (* 1907). Lehmann Pfarrer lived in Wittenberge until his retirement in 1937 and then he and his wife moved to Berlin-Frohnau. As a pastor emeritus, he held services for example in Glienicke / Nordbahn and during the Second World War in Mühlenbeck near Berlin. Lehmann's widow outlived her husband by 19 years. When Margarethe Lehmann died on July 26, 1966 at the age of 95, her children, Margarethe, Hildegard, Elisabeth, Siegfried and Günther, who were still alive, mourned her. Margarethe Lehmann was buried in Berlin's state-owned cemetery in Frohnau, Hainbuchenstrasse.
