Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOHE, JOHANN KONRAD ,WILHELM (1808-1872), German divine and philanthropist, was born on the 21st of February18o8 in
Furth
  near Nuremberg, and was educated at the universities of Erlangen and Berlin. In 1831 he was appointed
vicar
  at Kirchenlamitz, where his fervent evangelical preaching attracted large congregations and puzzled the ecclesiastical authorities. A similar experience ensued at Nuremberg, where he was assistant pastor of St Egidia. In 1837 he became pastor in Neuendettelsau, a small and unattractive place, where his
life
 's
work
  was done, and which he transformed into a busy and influential community. He was interested in the spiritual
condition
  of Germans who had emigrated to the United States, and built two training homes for missionaries to them. In 1849 he founded the Lutheran Society of
Home
 
Missions
  and in 1853 an institution of deaconesses. Other institutions were added to these, including a lunatic asylum, a Magdalen
refuge
 , and hospitals for men and women. In theology Lithe was a strict Lutheran, but his piety was of a most attractive kind. Originality of conception, vividness of presentation, fertility of
imagination
 , wide knowledge of Scripture and a happy faculty of applying it, intense spiritual fervour, a striking physique and a powerful voice made him a
great
  pulpit force. He wrote a good deal, amongst his books being Drei Bucher 'von der Kirche (1845), Samenkorner des Gebeles (over 30 editions) and several volumes of sermons. He died on the and of January 1872.
