Heinrich Schrörs

Johann Heinrich Schrörs (26 November 1852 in Krefeld – 11 June 1928 in Bonn) was a German Catholic church historian.

He studied theology in Bonn, Würzburg and Innsbruck, where he was a student of Josef Jungmann (1830–1885).

In 1877 he was ordained as priest in Innsbruck, and in 1885 became a professor of canon law at Freiburg im Breisgau.

During the following year, with encouragement from Friedrich Althoff (1839–1908), he attained the chair of church history at the University of Bonn.

In 1887 he founded one of the first church history seminars in Germany, also building a well-equipped Seminarbibliothek (seminary library that was destroyed during World War II).
