The political upheavals of the first half of the 20th century also influenced academic theology in Germany. The changes were reflected in the lives and works of four professors of theology from Rostock. Ernst Sellin was the first Old Testament scholar in Germany to combine teaching and research with archaeological excavations in Palestine. Paul Althaus, a Lutheran scholar and systematic theologian, was so impressively active in Rostock that the bishop’s office was offered to him in Mecklenburg. Friedrich Brunstad came as a philosopher to Rostock and became an influential systematic theologian and rector of the university. A biography of Gottfried Quell, teaching Old Testament, is given here for the first time, combined with unpublished texts. His work and position in the Nazi era and his efforts for the revival of Rostock’s Faculty of Theology in the communist GDR are acknowledged as well.
