Life

origin

Home of Mrs. Trummer and her children

Trummer was the son of lawyers Dr. Adolph Trummer and his wife Caroline, b. Copper. His mother, who was widowed at an early age, lived with her son and three daughters at Fischstrasse 27 on the corner of Einhäuschen Querstrasse , next to the pastorate of the Reformed Church and was part of a reading group that Emanuel Geibel also belonged to. She died of cholera on August 2, 1850 , and Karl Peter Klügmann became the children's guardian. His sister Amanda ("Ada") married Emanuel Geibel in 1852 at the age of 17 and died three years later in 1855 in Munich .

Elise, a sister of Trummer, married the Lübeck doctor Gottlob Reuter. One of her daughters was the painter Elisabeth Reuter, who died in 1903 .

After passing the exam, Trummer worked as a private tutor in Travemünde and Dannenberg . As a candidate , he took over the management of the Lübeck Progymnasium , the so-called candidate school . Under him, the number of students, which had previously been around 40, rose to over 100.

On February 26, 1867, the St. Marien Congregation elected Trummer as their preacher and third, later second clergyman . Within a very short time, a large audience gathered around the young clergy, who was endowed with brilliant speaking talent.

He took an active part in the development of the German Empire during the Franco-Prussian War . Enthusiastic and enthusiastic about everyone around him, he tried to express his feelings in words. On December 14, 1870, the central poem “December 1870” appeared in the Lübeck advertisements . Since the author was not named there, the Lübeckers assumed their Emanuel Geibel to be the author. His brother-in-law had meanwhile returned to Lübeck years ago from Munich, where he fell out of favor. It was only by chance that it became known that it was the preacher at St. Mary's. In the yearbook of religious poetry from 1874, the sensitive poet published "Oh God from Heaven see it" and "Petrus Paulus Bergerius and Franzesco Spiera".

Working as a faithful pastor in his community and taking part in all father-city processes outside of it, he was appointed to the citizenship by his fellow citizens in 1877. The Legislature belonged Trummer until 1,901th In the years 1886–88, 1892–94 and 1895–97 he was included in the more intimate deliberations of the citizens' committee . He belonged to the high school authority until 1904 and devoted himself to the expansion of the state school system.

When the idea of ​​setting up holiday colonies from Emil Minlos , the current social reformer from Berlin , who originally came from Lübeck, reached the city, Trummer was the first to try to implement it in Lübeck. He recruited sponsors of this “good” cause among his friends and was the co-founder of the “Association of Holiday Colonies” .

But Trummer was not only interested in the little ones. He was one of the first to join an association that set itself the task of providing the people with good spiritual enjoyment. At one of the popular entertainment evenings organized by this association, Trummer proved himself to be a very talented folk teller in a lecture: “Lübeck 50 years ago” . He also worked in the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities , was deputy chairman of the St. Petri Congregation, a member of the Geographical Society and a member of the synod .

The pastor at St. Mary's on 29 June in 1880 the senior pastor at St. Peter appointed.

The reputation of the gifted pulpit speaker went far beyond the borders of his hometown when the commemorative speech he gave in St. Marien on April 12, 1884 at the coffin of Geibels appeared in print .

At the beginning of 1888, the management of the recently constituted Lübeck district association of the German association against the abuse of spirits, founded in Kassel in 1883, was appointed. The Presidency took over Heinrich Alphons Plessing , the board he made, Physikus Carl Türk , Theodor Eschenburg , Nicolaus Bernhard Joachim Jürss and Christian Reimpell .

In September 1906 Trummer gave his farewell sermon in the overcrowded Petrikirche. His deafness , which led him to resign from the office, was not noticed.

Main pastor Theodor Zietz held the mourning meeting in the Petrikirche after his death on June 27, 1911.
