Life

Friedrich Adolf Krummenacher ( Friedrich Adolph Krummenacher by contemporary spelling) was the son of the lawyer and Tecklenburger mayor Friedrich Jakob Krummenacher. He was the older brother of Gottfried Daniel Krummenacher and the father of Frederick William Krummenacher and Emil Wilhelm Krummenacher.

He graduated from the autumn 1784 at the then Reformed theology school Academicum in Lingen, then from 1786 in Hall theology and philosophy. In 1788 he passed his examination in Tecklenburg and in 1790 vice-principal at the high school Hammonense in Hamm. From 1793 onwards was Krummenacher rector in Moers. After his promotion to theological doctorate in 1801 he became professor of Reformed theology in Duisburg since 1802 with an additional teaching position for eloquence.

1805 published Krummenacher for his popular parables. After the decline of the University of Duisburg from 1807, he served as pastor in Kettwig an der Ruhr (now food) and then as general superintendent of Anhalt- Bernburg from 1812. The Bernburger time Krummacher has his son William of Kügelgen a literary monument in the childhood memories of an old man. In 1824 he became pastor of St. Ansgarii in Bremen, where he finally retired in 1843 and died two years thereafter.

Krummenacher was influenced by Herder and by Matthias Claudius and was one of the critical rationalism to rather hostile revival movement. In Duisburg, he was one of the group around Johann Gerhard Hasenkamp, whereas already Clauberg John (1622-1665) had introduced as rector of the University of the Cartesian rationalism, then the Heinrich Adolph Grimm took to Krummacher times at the university.

Krummacher lyrics were set to music by Franz Schubert in part ( as the night); his hymns ( for example, a flock and a shepherd ) belonged to the late 20th century to the songs of the German Protestant hymnals.
