Life

Adolf Giesebrecht was the second son of the preacher in Mirow Benjamin Giesebrecht and his wife Luise, geb. Leithäuser (1756–1823). His eight siblings included Carl (1782–1832) and the twin brothers Ludwig (1792–1873) and Friedrich (1792–1875). After attending school in Mirow and at the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster in Berlin, Giesebrecht began studying philology and theology at the University of Frankfurt / Oder . He changed his place of study to the University of Göttingen and became a member of the Corps Vandalia Göttingen in 1809 . Upon completing his studies in 1810, he immediately became vice-principal of the secondary school in Frankfurt / Oder and shortly afterwards a collaborator at the Friedrichs-Werderscher Gymnasium in Berlin.

In 1813 he volunteered as a liberation fighter with the Mecklenburg-Strelitz Hussars , but was unable to go to war with his regiment due to illness. In 1815, after convalescence, he received a position at the Carolinum grammar school in Neustrelitz and was commissioned by Duke Georg von Mecklenburg-Strelitz to set up a school teacher seminar for the country, which was based in Mirow and was headed by him until 1826. Different views on school discipline led to his move to Berlin, where he initially worked at the Friedrichs-Werderscher Gymnasium and also at the vocational school. In 1828 Adolf Giesebrecht became vice principal of the grammar school in Prenzlau and in 1833 director of the Fürstin-Hedwig-Schule in Neustettin. In 1842 he was appointed provincial school council of the Pomerania province with the official seat in Stettin, in 1848 he moved to Königsberg as provincial school council of the Prussian province . He died of cholera.

Since 1828 he was married to Caroline, b. Probsthan, a daughter of the pastor in Strelitz Johann Christian Probsthan (1768–1842) and sister of Anton Probsthan .
