Eduard Huschke

Georg Philipp Eduard Huschke (26 June 1801 – 7 February 1886) was a German jurist and authority on church government.

He was encouraged by Friedrich Carl von Savigny to go to Berlin, but returned to Göttingen and established himself as privatdozent, lecturing on the orations of Cicero, on Gaius and the history of law.

Soon after his arrival in Breslau he became interested in the dissension caused by the Evangelical Union which were forced upon the orthodox Old Lutherans by the state rulers, and took a prominent part in the debates.

The fruit of his studies was a work entitled Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln (Dresden, 1860).

His ideas on church government were laid down in Die streitigen Lehren von der Kirche, dem Kirchenamt, dem Kirchenregiment und der Kirchenregierung (Leipzig, 1863).
