AB In this revised dissertation Brenda L. Gaydosh provides the first monograph-length English-language biography of German Roman Catholic priest Monsignor Bernhard Lichtenberg. Although his home region of lower Silesia was a diaspora for Catholics, Lichtenberg grew up in a practicing family and was ordained a priest. After brief service in Silesia, Lichtenberg was appointed to posts at various parishes in Berlin, at the time part of the archdiocese of Breslau. Beginning his Berlin service in a working-class district, he eventually became pastor of more affluent parishes in middle-class Charlottenburg. There Lichtenberg was elected to the city council and defended the rights of all denominations.
