Ottomar Hermes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius August Ottomar Hermes (born January 12, 1826 in Berlin ; † November 9, 1893 there ) was a German lawyer and Protestant church politician.

Life

After completing his studies, Hermes first worked as a district judge in Boitzenburg and Berlin. In 1857 he was appointed "auxiliary worker" in the Evangelical Upper Church Council (EOK), the management authority of the Evangelical Church in the older Prussian provinces , but the following year he switched to the consistory and provincial school council of the Rhine Province in Koblenz. Returned to the EOK in 1862 as senior consistorial councilor, he was promoted to secular vice-president in 1877 and president in 1878. After a liberal interlude under his predecessor Emil Herrmann , the term of office of Hermes, who was a close friend of Rudolf Kögel and during whose term of office not a single representative of the middle party or even of the liberals was appointed to the EOK, marked the rule of the “court preacher's party” in the Prussian party Regional church.

Hermes was appointed the Real Secret Council in 1882 and appointed to the Prussian State Council in 1884 . In 1891 he was retired.

Hermes' daughter, the reform pedagogue Gertrud Hermes , gave insights into the family's household in a detailed study.
