Hase

Hase, Karl August von (1800-90), a German theologian, was born at Steinbach in Saxony.

He was expelled from Erlangen University on account of his connection with the "Bnrschenschaften," a political union of students, and was afterwards imprisoned for ten months at Hohenasperg for similar reasons. In 1830 he became professor of theology at Jena, and there passed the rest of his life. In 1883 he was ennobled for his services to Protestant theology. His most popular works were Leltrbueh der Evangelischen Dogmatik (6th ed., 1870); Hutterus Redivivus (12th ed., 1883); a Life of Jesus and a Church History, of which an 11th edition appeared in 1886. He also left an autobiography down to 1830, under the title Ideale und Irrthiimer, and an unfinished Church history.
