The volume “Geistliche Leitbilder und Weggefährten – Betrachtungen” written by the former bishop D. Dr. Christoph Klein, released in March 2015 (Schiller Verlag Bonn – Hermannstadt) and inspired by the fact, that the former vice bishop Dr. Hans Klein is turning 75 in November this year (2015), led the author to write this article. It is about two church leading personalities: Christoph Klein (commissioned as Bishop of the Evangelical Church A. C. in Romania between 1990 – 2010) and Hans Klein (commissioned as Vice Bishop of the same church between 1994 – 2007), whose commitment for the relationship between the Evangelical Church A. C. and the other churches inside and outside the country is nothing but to be admired. Deeply ecumenically committed, these two personalities have become spiritual models not only for the author of this article but also for many others.
