Brother Paulus is a Capuchin monk, author and speaker. He explores how people in positions of responsibility can find their direction and remain true to their values, even in times of change. In doing so, he combines decades of experience in pastoral care with social commitment and a practical perspective on the challenges of leadership and collaboration. Brother Paulus (born 1959) was born Bernhard Gerhard Terwitte in the Münsterland region. After completing his A-levels, he joined the Capuchin Order and studied philosophy and Catholic theology. His duties took him to Stühlingen, Gera and Frankfurt am Main, amongst other places. After leading the Capuchin community in Frankfurt and Munich, he took on the role of Guardian in Münster. There, he keeps the monastery open to people seeking a meeting, a conversation or a time of reflection. He is also Chairman of the Board of the Franziskustreff Foundation in Frankfurt, which supports homeless and poor people by providing meals, advice and a place to meet. In 2017, Brother Paulus was awarded the City of Frankfurt’s Medal of Honour for his social commitment. In 2021, he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his work on behalf of homeless people and those on low incomes. Brother Paulus became known to a wide audience through his television appearances and talk shows on SAT.1 and N24. As an author and interviewee, he brings issues of faith and ethics into the public debate. Since June 2023, he has been delivering the daily video reflections for the ‘Tagessegen’ programme, which are distributed via katholisch.de and social media, amongst other channels. In this way, he reaches people beyond church circles. In his talks, Brother Paulus discusses, amongst other things, how values underpin decisions, how appreciation shapes collaboration, and how self-care strengthens one’s ability to act. In an accessible and humorous manner, he invites his audience to examine their own standards and to take on responsibility for themselves and others more consciously.
