Michael Höhle

Michael Höhle serves as an Associate Professor (Extraordinary Professor) at the Faculty of Cultural Studies, European University Viadrina, while concurrently working as a pastor at the Holy Family parish in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg district since 2005. His dual academic-clerical career spans over two decades of active teaching and pastoral service.

His educational foundation includes:

• Theological studies at Erfurt, Berlin, and Bonn
• Doctorate from the University of Bonn (1996)
• Habilitation from the University of Bonn (2001)

Professor Höhle's research centers on Church History with specialized expertise in the History of Christianity and Reformation History. His work critically examines Religious Movements within German contexts, particularly focusing on Regional Church History of Berlin and Brandenburg. This research bridges theological analysis with socio-political historical frameworks, documenting how religious institutions evolved in northeastern Germany through periods of reformation and modernization. His regional studies provide granular insights into local ecclesiastical developments while contributing to broader European church historiography.
