"Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (18 November 1863 in Wendisch-Hermsdorf, Prussia – 8 February 1920 in Blankenese, Germany) was a German poet and writer" -- Wikipedia "Dehn, Günther Karl (Apr 18, 1882, Schwerin – Mar 17, 1970, Bonn). After studying in Berlin, Halle, and Bonn, Dehn was employed from 1907 on as a parish priest in Berlin and worked from 1911 to 1931 in the labor district of Moabit. During these years, he concerned himself with the relationship between the church and workers. In 1926, the University of Münster awarded him an honorary doctorate. In 1931 he was appointed professor for practical theology in Halle. In 1933 the NSDAP removed him from office. Dehn became theological adviser for the Confessing Church and taught from 1937 to 1941 at the Theological College in Berlin. From 1941 to 1942 he was detained by the Gestapo. Afterwards he worked for a number of years as a priest in Württemberg. In 1946 he was appointed head professor for practical theology in Bonn and stayed there until he became professor emeritus in 1954" -- Brill Online Reference Works newspaper clipping and a written speech.
