Hans Lassen Martensen
Hans Lassen Martensen (August 19, 1808 – February 3, 1884) was a Danish bishop and academic.
Early life.
Martensen was born in a middle-class Lutheran family in Flensburg, in the Duchy of Schleswig (now Germany), as their only son. At that time Schleswig was a duchy between Holstein and Denmark. He grew up in a German-speaking society, while his father who was a schoolmaster, writer and sea-captain preferred to use Danish. Consequently the
"Aus meinem Leben", appeared in 1883, and after his death the "Briefwechsel zwischen Martensen und Dorner".
