Abstract (English): The article focuses on Karl Holl’s membership and lecture activities in the “Mittwochsgesellschaft,” an elite circle of scholars, politicians, and bankers in Berlin that has existed since 1863 and was dedicated to interdisciplinary exchange on science, society, and politics. Holl, a church historian at the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin, gave eleven lectures on church history and church-political topics between 1907 and 1917, the protocols of which are being published for the first time. The “Mittwochsgesellschaft” was characterized by high intellectual standards, ideological diversity, and regular meetings, but suffered under changed conditions during the First World War. A political conflict with the historian Friedrich Meinecke led to Holl’s resignation from the society in 1919. Holl’s contributions reflect his scholarly rigor, his church-political positions, and his critical stance toward the territorial lord’s church governance. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (German): In the winter semester of 1906, the church historian Karl Holl, who had previously taught in Tübingen, began teaching at the Theological Faculty of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University in Berlin as the first full professor of the newly established second Chair of Church History. Shortly after his arrival in the German capital, his long-time mentor and fatherly friend Paul Kleinert, the full professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology, invited him to become a member of the "Mittwochsgesellschaft", an association of scholars, high officials, politicians and bankers who met since 1863 to discuss new scientific and technical findings, fundamental social developments and – beyond the politics of the day – political problems. Holl gave eleven lectures at the "Mittwochsgesellschaft" from 1907 to 1917, which he reported on himself in the society's minute books. With one exception, these concise summaries of what he presented are unknown until now. They are published here for the first time. The political conflict with the liberal-conservative historian Friedrich Meinecke, which led to Holl's resignation from the "Mittwochsgesellschaft" on March 21, 1919, is also briefly outlined.
