Because Nietzsche was the oldest man in his household, he grew up with a world mainly consisting of women. When Nietzsche was a little boy he moved from his farm and into a crowded house in Naumburg where he went to elementary school (Frenzel 12).

He also started to display a interest in music. While in high school Nietzsche focused hard on his studies and didn’t have many friends. In high school Nietzsche started to have doubts about religion and god. “His doubts in and ultimate rejection of Christianity developed gradually … his loss of faith, probably one of the most crucial events of his adolescence (Frenzel 16)”.

Whether it be because of his youthful fascination with the word eternity, which he found “majestic” (p.3), or his determination to be a theologian at thirteen, it seems unsurprising that he would grow to be a man of original mind and concepts, not destined to follow a crowd.

Bonhoeffer’s acquisition of knowledge that he accumulates throughout his existence, which include theories from each new place and new people he encounters, allow him to grasp a worldly view of

However, his official career as a university teacher did not work out, due to the fact that he believed the universities were killing humanities.
