Description
[The Imprisoned Evangelist. Countess Adeline Schimmelmann between Revivalism and Psychiatry]
Countess Adeline Schimmelmann (1854-1913) was one of the women who became involved in social and missionary work as part of the revivalist movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Unlike many other aristocratic women, she did not join existing initiatives but followed her own path: She held Bible lessons and sang revivalist songs with the fishermen in the fishermen's home she founded in Göhren on Rügen in 1885, which provided accommodation for Baltic Sea fishermen during the fishing season. Göhren became the starting point for Schimmelmann's similar activities on the Pomeranian coast. Her family, respected in northern Germany and Denmark, viewed these projects with suspicion and had her committed to a psychiatric institution in Copenhagen in 1894. Her case attracted international attention. Schimmelmann saw herself as a martyr, persecuted for her faith. This volume presents literary and journalistic sources that contextualize the psychiatric scandal and its consequences within her biography.
