German preacher and author; born Aug. 23, 1816, at Santomischl, province of Posen; died at Königsberg, Prussia, Jan. 31, 1875. He attended the University of Berlin and then filled the position of preacher in Marienwerder, Kulm, and finally in Köslin. He belonged to the ultra-Reform party and always expressed his views fearlessly. After he retired from his office, he settled at Königsberg, where he delivered a series of lectures (1864-1865) on the history and development of Judaism and on the history of the Synagogue service. He established a radical Reform congregation, with Sunday services and German liturgy, which, however, was of short duration.

Jolowicz was very active as an author, beginning in his student years. The following is a list of his publications:
