Peter Stolt (born November 3, 1926 in Hamburg ) is a German Evangelical - Lutheran pastor , university rector , church historian and author of church history and liturgical books.

Life

After attending school, military service and imprisonment, Stolt made up his Abitur and studied Protestant theology . After graduating, a grant from the World Council of Churches enabled him to continue studying in the United States for a year. He was ordained a pastor in 1955 and headed the youth pastor of the Hamburg Church as a state youth pastor from 1956 to 1966 . During this time he took part in the First and Second All-Christian Peace Meetings in Prague in 1961 and 1964 . In 1966 he became the head of the deacon school and higher technical school of the Rauhen Haus , where he was responsible for the training of diaconal and socio-educational employees. In 1971 he ended his activity at this educational establishment, which had qualified as a technical college and was renamed the Evangelical College for Social Work & Diakonie. At a celebration of the university's 30th anniversary, he replied to a reporter when asked what he particularly had in common with the university:

“ Wichern's passion for the weaker and marginalized is a legacy that has to be kept alive for our century through the reforms . For this, a Protestant university in the Rauhen Haus was indispensable for me - and I still believe that today. "

After the end of his post as rector, he was called to the Evangelical Church of Westphalia to lead the seminary for the practical training of future pastors in Soest . In 1982 he returned to Hamburg because he had been elected chief pastor at the main church St. Katharinen , where he worked as a preacher, pastor and pastor training until his retirement.

In addition to his duties as a pastor, Stolt dedicated himself particularly to the church history of Hamburg and worked on practical theological questions of liturgy, about which he also presented publications.

In 2006, Stolt, who critically dealt with the Nazi past of his church , submitted an article that asks in its title: “No reason to admit guilt ?”. A well-respected book was the study on the history of liberal Protestantism in Hamburg, published in the same year - a work that was recognized as a dissertation by Martin H. Jung and Reinhold Mokrosch at the University of Osnabrück . After he had overcome the required hurdles of the Rigorosum , the now 80-year-old was awarded the doctorate.

Peter Stolt is married and the father of two daughters and a son.
