Martin Bücking (born March 20, 1868 in Oldenburg (Oldb) ; † March 8, 1954 in Hamburg-Blankenese ) was a German Evangelical Lutheran pastor and writer.

Life

As the son of a rector , Bücking studied Protestant theology at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen and the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . Then he was tutor in Stuhr for two years and rector in Altenbruch for three years . On August 11, 1895 he was in the Lamberti Church (Oldenburg) ordained . After a short time in the Schortens parish office he became assistant preacher and in November 1895 pastor in Bockhorn (Friesland) . He loved the Frisian Wehde .

On September 30, 1900, he was initially elected as 2nd pastor by the St. Katharinengemeinde in Braunschweig and introduced on January 6, 1901. During the First World War he belonged to the so-called war and propaganda preachers like the Braunschweig theologians Wilhelm Eisenberg (1877-1918) from the Reformed Congregation, Superintendent Johannes Beste (1852-1928) or Henry Beck (1865-1929) from the Jakobi Congregation . For example, on September 5, 1917, he gave a fiery speech on the occasion of a major event in front of Braunschweig Castle on the German victory in the Battle of Riga . He was editor and editor of the extensive booklet collection The Braunschweiger in the World War 1914–1918 .

Bücking was one of those who signed the founding of the Pastors' Emergency Association on November 30, 1933 in Blankenburg (Harz) . Conservative-nationally minded, Bücking kept his distance from his Katharin colleague Johannes Schlott , the Gauleiter of the German Christians for Braunschweig. At the age of 66, Bücking retired in 1934 after 33 years of service.

His novels and stories take place in the landscapes in which he lived.
