A warm welcome to Professor Wolfgang Beck!

We welcome Professor Wolfgang Beck, who will take up the professorship for Pastoral Theology at the Faculty of Catholic Theology at the University of Erfurt in the winter semester 2026/27, succeeding Professor Maria Widl.

The 52-year-old comes from the Sankt Georgen Graduate School of Philosophy and Theology (PTH) in Frankfurt am Main, where he has been working since 2015 – initially as an assistant professor in pastoral theology and homiletics, and, following his habilitation in 2022, as a full professor. Beck has been head of the university since 2024. He is also known as the speaker of the ARD programme series “Das Wort zum Sonntag”.

In our research blog “WortMelder”, we introduce our new colleague in more detail.
