SYDOW, (Karl Leopold) Adolph, Ph.D., German Protestant; b. at Char lot ten burg, Nov. 23, 1800; d. in Berlin, Oct. 22, 1882. He studied at Berlin from 1819 to 1823, and became an ardent disciple of Schleiermacher. In 1824 he became repetent; in 1828, preacher and ordinary teacher of the cadet corps at Berlin. In 1836 he was called by Frederick William III. to Potsdam as court preacher, and enjoyed also the friendship of Frederick William IV., who sent him in 1841, with others, to Great Britain, to study in London and elsewhere the ecclesiastical arrangements. In consequence he became a defender of the free church system; thus forfeited the king's favor, gave up his position at court, went in 1846 to Berlin as preacher of the New Church, and so remained until he was made emeritus in 1876. In 1872 he was deposed by the Brandenburg consistory, because in a public lecture he declared that Jesus was the legitimate son of Joseph and Mary. He appealed to the upper church council twenty-six ministers of the province of Brandenburg and twelve of Berlin protested against his deposition; the theological faculty at Jena declared to Dr. Falk, the minister of religious affairs, that his deposition would "endanger the liberty of teaching;" and the council, while sharply rebuking him, ordered his reinstatement on the ground that the objectionable statement was extra-official. See Sydow's Aklenstucke, Berlin, 1873. He made, with F. A. Schulze, a translation of Channing's works, Berlin, 1850-55, 12 vols. His other publications consist of sermons, etc. See M. Sydow: Dr. A.
