Summary

English summary: Friedrich von Schluembach (1842-1901) was an important figure in the transatlantic cultural and religious transfer of the 19th century. He played a significant role in German-American church life in the United States. After emigration from Wurttemberg as a teenager, he worked as a businessman, Civil War officer, journalist, political orator, pastor, evangelist, farmer and colonist. As an evangelist he crossed the Atlantic several times. His big-city crusades in the U.S. and Germany provided a lot of attention and give insight into the church-political constellations and cross-cultural perceptions of his time. With the formation of a Nationalbund of German YMCAs in North America, he worked towards a long term integration of German young men in American evangelical Christianity. In Germany he founded the first YMCA and gave strong impulse for a restructuring of youth work methods. In turn, his experiences with the Inner Mission in Germany had repercussions on his work in the United States. Based on the exciting vita of this remarkable revival preacher, the author opens up issues of religion, church and society in Germany and the United States in the second half of the 19th Century. He deals with self and social perceptions of a German-American and his environment between Europe and the United States. He illuminates different religious cultures of the time with their differing ecclesiological conceptions. Thus, this study provides a valuable contribution to the history of religion in the Western world in the second half of the 19th century. German text. German description: Die transatlantischen Austauschprozesse im Protestantismus des 19. Jahrhunderts sind bisher wenig erforscht. Mit Friedrich von Schlumbach (1842-1901) widmet sich Thomas Hahn-Bruckart einer Gestalt, der eine wesentliche Bruckenfunktion zwischen den Kulturen zukam. Als Jugendlicher in die USA emigriert, wirkte er unter anderem als Kaufmann, Burgerkriegsoffizier, Journalist, Wahlkampfredner, Prediger, Evangelist, Farmer und Koloniegrunder. Seine grossstadtischen Evangelisationen in den USA und Deutschland sorgten fur grosses Aufsehen und geben Einblick in die kirchenpolitischen Konstellationen und interkulturellen Wahrnehmungen seiner Zeit. Mit der Grundung des ersten deutschen CVJM brachte Schlumbach ein Modell der Jugendarbeit nach Deutschland, das dort richtungsweisend werden sollte. Die Erfahrungen mit ihm im Spannungsfeld von Landeskirche und Freikirche hatten Auswirkungen auf die Formierung der Gemeinschaftsbewegung in Deutschland. Seine Erfahrungen in Deutschland wiederum hatten Ruckwirkungen auf die Gestaltung deutsch-amerikanischen kirchlichen Lebens in den USA. Anhand der spannenden Vita dieses bemerkenswerten Erweckungspredigers erschliesst der Autor Probleme von Religion, Kirche und Gesellschaft in Deutschland und in den Vereinigten Staaten in der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Er behandelt Fragen der Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung eines Deutsch-Amerikaners und seines Umfeldes zwischen Europa und den USA. Er erhellt unterschiedliche Religionskulturen der Zeit mit ihren differierenden ekklesiologischen Konzeptionen. Damit leistet diese Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur bisher kaum erschlossenen Frommigkeitsgeschichte der westlichen Welt in der zweiten Halfte des 19. Jahrhunderts.
