    He went down in church history as the "Fall of Behrens". As a pastor in Stade, he had made no secret of his aversion to the regime at the beginning of National Socialist rule. From the confirmation classes he was reproached with sayings like "Children, you are rushed" and "I prefer a Christian negro to an unbelieving German".

    Commemoration of the minister's public humiliation on September 16, 1935

    city It was to turn the day into one of the blackest in Stade's history. The act happened on September 16, 1935, right after the Nuremberg Nazi Party Rally. SA and SS men chased Pastor Johann Gerhard Behrens, who worked in Stade, across Stade. A poster with the inscription "I am a Jewish slave" hung around his neck. On his difficult ordeal through Stade, the pastor was insulted, spat on and showered with water, and representatives of the Hitler Youth demanded that the pastor be sent to a concentration camp.
