Alexander Baimann

Alexander Baimann serves as a Lecturer at the Institute for Practical Theology and Religious Education at the University of Münster since April 2020, teaching religious education. Concurrently, he works as a student teacher at the Mariengymnasium in Werl. His academic foundation includes degrees in History and Protestant Religious Studies from the University of Münster.

His educational background includes:

• Bachelor of Arts in History and Protestant Religious Studies, University of Münster (2013-2017)
• Master of Education for teaching at grammar schools and comprehensive schools (Protestant religious education and history), University of Münster (2017-2019)

Baimann's research centers on historical religious education, with emphasis on children's and school Bibles in the 18th and 19th centuries, religious education during the Enlightenment, and church history in Westphalian cities including Soest and Werl. His work also addresses the Anabaptist movement in Münsterland and the Culture War in Westphalia.

His publications from 2017 to 2020 demonstrate a consistent focus on Westphalian regional history, particularly through a trilogy on the village of Schwefe and studies on the Anabaptist Kingdom of Münster and the Kulturkampf in Werl. These works combine archival research with analysis of religious education's historical development across medieval, early modern, and 19th-century contexts.
