Minister, District Pastor of the church district Luebeck-Lauenburg
Country of origin
Germany

I was born in Lübeck (1963), studied protestant theology in Hamburg and served as a Lutheran parish pastor (1994-2008). In 2008 I was elected as leading District Pastor („Pröpstin“)  in the church district Luebeck-Lauenburg. I love to travel, love gardening, love dogs and I love cinema, esp. nordic movies: stories about common people, often a little bit crazy, wonderful landscapes, important topics. I organised educational seminars for pastors on movies and how to use them in parish and school.

‘Northern Outskirts' (Nordrand) by Barbara Albert was the winner of the 4th European John Templeton Film Award for the year 2000. The film tells the story of two young women in Vienna who lost touch after leaving school and meet again at an abortion clinic.
INTERFILM member Hans-Martin Gutmann traces a narrative arc from his departure for the KVIFF 2026, through his work on the festival’s Ecumenical Jury and its decision on the winner, right up to his return.
