Jens M. Wening | Leibniz Universität Hannover (original) (raw)
Jens M. Wening studied theology and history at the University of Hamburg (2001–2008) and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2005/2006). After graduation he taught Old Testament for student teachers at the Leibniz Universität Hannover (2009–2015).
During his studies he specialized in the archaeology and history of Jerusalem. His main field of research is the plurality and variability of cultures of remembrance and their connection with material structures and architectures. Methodically he combines a historical-critical study of sources with a remembrance-cultural approach from a spatial-sociological perspective.
In 2017 he earned his doctorate in philosophy (Dr. phil.) from the Leibniz Universität Hannover with a thesis on the history of the cultural memories of Siloam (Siloah), the Jerusalem city spring: Siloah – Quelle des Lebens. Eine Kulturgeschichte der Jerusalemer Stadtquelle (Zaphon: Münster, 2021).
Since 2019 he is a Pastor of the Lutheran Church in Rethen in the south of Hannover where he lives with his wife and their two children.

Der Aufbau der Arbeit folgt dem „Stufenmodell der Predigtvorbereitung“ bei Henning Luther und gliedert sich in die Abschnitte Wahrnehmungen (II.), Verarbeitung (III.) und Reflexion der Predigtgestalt (IV.). Die ausformulierte Predigt steht am Ende der Arbeit (V.).

An underground conduit, the so-called Hezekiah Tunnel, carries the water from the spring under the southeast hill to this day. For nearly two millennia, this western mouth of the tunnel was considered the source of Siloam, or the Siloam of Jerusalem. The actual source, the Gihon, was forgotten for over a millennium. Today, the Southeast Hill water systems are among the most extensively studied archaeological sites in the world. This study deals with the cultural memories of Siloam. On the basis of a diverse selection of different text and images, the author develops a cultural history of the Jerusalem city source from its beginnings to the present. Particular attention is paid to the plurality and variability of cultures of remembrance and their connection with material structures and architectures. To this end, the work combines a historical-critical study of sources with a remembrance-cultural approach from a spatial-sociological perspective.
