Gustav von Rohden (22 April 1855 in Barmen – 9 May 1942 in Ballenstedt) was a German clergyman and the author of books on various social issues (the welfare of former prisoners, sexual ethics, etc.).[1][2]
From 1882 he served as a pastor in Helsingfors, Finland. After returning to Germany, he worked as a prison chaplain in Dortmund (from 1895). Beginning in 1908 he held the position of Konsistorialrat in Berlin, and in 1912 became a pastor in the town of Spören, near Bitterfeld. From 1919 to 1923 he was director of the Frauenschule der Inneren Mission (Women's School of the Inner Mission) in Berlin.[3][4]
He was the son of theologian Ludwig von Rohden (1815–1889) and the brother of archaeologist Hermann von Rohden (1852–1916) and historian Paul von Rohden (1862–1939).
