Wilhelm Kapp
Wilhelm Kapp (born September 16, 1865 in Bischweiler , † June 1, 1943 in Freiburg im Breisgau ) was a German Protestant pastor and university professor .
Life
From 1885 Kapp studied Protestant theology in Strasbourg , the capital of the German empire Alsace-Lorraine since 1871 . After his exam in 1891, he was pastor in various Alsatian parishes, including Ittenheim . In 1906 he passed the teaching examination and from 1910 worked as a high school teacher in Strasbourg. In addition, from 1908 he edited the Alsace-Lorraine Home Voices , the magazine of the German national Alsace-Lorraine Association, which he chaired. For this reason he was expelled from Alsace, which was now again French, in 1918. In 1920 he was appointed lecturer for scientific newspaper studies at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and in 1924 honorary professor . In 1934 he retired.
As editor of the Alemannische Kulturberichte , Kapp continued his anti-French journalism. But he is also considered "one of the pioneers of newspaper science".
