Hans Ehrenberg was one of the few German Protestant theologians, even within the Confessing Church, to publicly express his vehement opposition to the anti-semitism of the Nazis and publicly declare his support of the Jewish people.
He strongly urged the Protestant church to take the same stand.
He criticised Christian anti-semitism and emphasized the similarities between Judaism and Christianity.
Also, his special attitude toward the problems and rights of workers' (since 1905), and world peace (since 1903, also with Franz Rosenzweig and Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy) was in advance of universities, municipal councils, judiciary, governments, parliaments, international organizations and churches of his times, "World Peace without Weapons" (swords to plowshares).
In addition to his practical theological work, he wrote a number of philosophical and theological articles and treatises.
One of his favorite quotes from the bible is taken from the book of Isaiah 60, vs 19 & 20, which was mentioned on their epitaph.

In Ehrenberg's honor and memory, the secondary school administered by the Protestant church in the Bielefeld neighborhood of Sennestadt was renamed the Hans-Ehrenberg-Schule in 1963.
There is also a square in Bochum named after him.
