Half a century of theology

"50 years of theology at the University of Kassel" was the motto of a ceremony at the Institute of Protestant Theology.

On Wednesday, November 15, the Institute invited former and current teachers to an event in which the history of the subject was revisited. One of the highlights was an interview conducted by the Director of the Institute, Prof. Dr. Tom Kleffmann, with the now 82-year-old former Professor of Religious Education, Dr. Horst Heinemann.

Heinemann recalled the early years of the University of Kassel, in which Protestant and Catholic theologians offered joint courses for an initially very small number of students. It was only gradually that a theological professorship was established, and the other professorships were only installed over the course of the next few years.
