Live and act

The parents of Adolph Stuhlmann, who was born in Hamburg, separated when their oldest son was nine years old. Adolph Stuhlmann then lived with his mother, who had to provide for the livelihood of her eldest son. As he had to contribute to the family's support himself a short time later, he received an incomplete school education. He initially attended a private school, then a day school and later an evening school for needy students. The school days ended in 1853. In that year he was also confirmed.

Then Stuhlmann completed a five-year professional training course as a mechanic , initially in Bremerhaven and later in Hamburg. In order to deepen his theoretical knowledge, he attended courses here at the trade school of the Patriotic Society of 1765 . His teacher Otto Jessen recognized that his pupil was talented in drawing and mathematics. In 1859 he therefore took him on as a free student in his polytechnic preparatory school. With a scholarship arranged by Jessen, Stuhlmann studied mostly mathematics and natural science at the University of Göttingen from September 1, 1861 . During his studies in Göttingen in 1862 he became a member of the Brunsviga fraternity . He completed his studies on July 22, 1864 with a doctorate to become Dr. phil. from. He then studied art history for a semester in Berlin . In 1865 he went back to Hamburg.

In Hamburg there was a building trade school since November 1, 1865, which had emerged as a branch of the state general trade school. Stuhlmann was one of the first teachers to teach drawing in particular. From 1870 he prepared prospective drawing teachers for lessons at the newly founded Hamburg elementary schools. Together with Otto Jessen, he controlled primary schools in Hamburg and the drawing lessons there. This resulted in the five-volume book Drawing Lessons in Elementary and Middle Schools in 1875 . After Jessen moved to Berlin in June 1880, Stuhlmann took over his post as director of the general trade school.

The state trade school system at that time consisted of the general trade school, which also offered evening and Sunday classes as a day school, three industrial pre-schools and a building trade school. Stuhlmann worked here in leading positions for 27 years. From the position of director of the general trade school, he moved to the new authority for trade schools in autumn 1897. As the first school board member, he significantly expanded the commercial educational institutions. Both new buildings and courses were created. In the technical field in particular, Stuhlmann worked to ensure that the technical secondary schools achieved a level of performance that was not inferior to that of other neighboring Prussian states.

His service time ended with his retirement on November 1, 1907. Important educational institutions had emerged under his leadership: the building trade school comprised departments for civil engineering and a technical center founded in 1905, which had secondary schools for mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and shipbuilding and electrical engineering as subdivisions . In addition to a coach building school and the main trade school, which had existed since 1895, the Hamburg School of Applied Arts was established in 1896 . In addition, there were ten small trade schools, eight commercial training institutions between 1898 and 1902 and two training schools for female trade enthusiasts from 1902 to 1906.

Since December 1867, Stuhlmann belonged to the Patriotic Society of 1867, in which, however, he did not volunteer to any significant extent. Instead, he campaigned for language maintenance. In 1875 he co-founded the Association for Low German Language Research in Hamburg . In 1904 he initiated the Association for Low German Language and Literature. V. “Quickborn” , which he chaired until December 1907. At the age of 60 he wrote his first of several Low German novels and in the following years also short stories and poetry.

Adolph Stuhlmann died in Hamburg in November 1924.
