Friedrich Adolf Krummacher

Friedrich Adolf Krummacher (July 13, 1767 – April 14, 1845) was a German Reformed theologian and a writer of devotional poetry and prose.

Having studied theology at Lingen and Halle, he became successively rector of the grammar school at Moers (1793), a professor of theology at the University of Duisburg (1800), a preacher in Kettwig (1807), Consistorialrath and superintendent in Bernburg (1812), and, after declining an invitation to the University of Bonn, pastor of the Ansgariuskirche in Bremen (1824).

Arnold Wilhelm Möller published his life and letters: Friedrich Adolf Krummacher und seine Freunde, 2 volumes, Bonn, 1849.

Auf hoher Alp Wohnt auch der liebe Gott, Er färbt den Morgen rot, Die Blümlein weiß und blau, Und labet sie mit Tau.

On Alpine heights The love of God is shed; He paints the morning red, The flowerets white and blue, And feeds them with his dew.
