Live and act

Theodor Karl Haase was a son of Adolf Theodor Haase (1802-1870) and Hedwig Theodora Raabe. His father was a superintendent in Lviv and had been a member of the manor house since 1861 . His paternal grandfather named Johann Traugott Theodor (* 1766) was married to Amalia Augusta Schmalz and was a city judge and legal counsel in Pirna .

Haase studied from 1852 in Vienna , Göttingen and Berlin . After graduating as Dr. phil. In 1856 at the University of Rostock he worked as a religion teacher in Vienna the following year. In 1859 he moved to Bielitz as pastor and in 1876 to Teschen in the same function , as the successor to the Polish pastor Leopold Otto . From 1865 to 1882 he worked as a Silesian senior and from 1882 as Superintendent of Moravia and Silesia (the successor to Karl Samuel Schneider ).

In 1866, Haase married a woman named Marie. She was the daughter of Finance Commissioner Josef von Mosburg and Amalia Augusta Schmalz. From this marriage came six children, including the lawyer Wolfgang Haase .

Haase was committed to the German Liberal Party in the state parliament , was a member of the manor house in the Reichsrat, and stood up there in political committees for the interests of the Protestant Church in Austria. He was a member of the Synodal Committee, became its chairman and was President of the General Synod from 1889 and therefore had a considerable influence on the development of the Protestant Church in Austria.

In the communities he oversees, Haase created educational and charitable institutions, including a secondary school, an orphanage, a teacher training institute, a grammar school, a trade school, a deaconess house in Bielitz and a hospital in Teschen .

Haase founded Protestant magazines that appeared in German and Polish. The Polish-language newspaper “Nowy Czas. Tygodnik polityczny ”was founded in 1877 as a counterweight to the newspapers of the Polish national movement, such as Zwiastun Ewangeliczny , founded by Leopold Otto . Although the newspaper respected the linguistic division into Polish-speaking and German-speaking Lutherans, it supported the assimilation of the Polish-speaking population group into German culture, on the assumption that this would take place through the peaceful and voluntary acceptance of the “superiority of German civilization”. Therefore, “Nowy Czas” was published as a continuation of the newspaper “Nowiny dla ludu wiejskiego” published in 1848 and was regarded as part of the so-called Shlonsak movement. The majority of the Polish-speaking pastors in Teschen Silesia worked with Haase's newspaper, only a minority remained loyal to the Polish national movement, especially Leopold Otto's apprentices, such as Franciszek Michejda . After Haase's death, Józef Kożdoń took over the leadership of the movement . Haase was editor, collaborator and author and editor, in particular, of treatises on church history. His sermons were also printed.

The University of Heidelberg appointed Haase Doctor theologiae in 1868 .
