Albert Heydemann

Albert Heydemann , full name Albert Gustav Heydemann (born September 9, 1808 in Berlin , † November 20, 1877 in Stettin ) was a German classical philologist and grammar school director.

Life

Heydemann was born as the son of the Berlin Jewish merchant Abraham Heydemann (later Adolph Friedrich Heydemann, 1773–1848) and Caroline, nee. Bahn, born. His older brother Ludwig Eduard Heydemann became a lawyer and university professor. Albert Heydemann attended the Joachimsthalsche Gymnasium and then studied at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . Under the influence of Johann Gustav Droysen , he decided against an academic career and for school service.

Heydemann completed his probationary year as a high school teacher in 1829/30 at the United Royal and City High School in Stettin . In 1830 he became a high school teacher at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin. Here he became a senior teacher in 1834 and a professor in 1843 ( grammar school professor ). In 1847 he founded the magazine for high schools together with Julius Mützell . He gave history lessons to the young Prince Friedrich Wilhelm , who later became Emperor Friedrich III.

In 1850 Heydemann became director of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Posen . There, after the previous political unrest, he found difficult conditions. But he succeeded - according to Gottfried von Bülow in the ADB - "through humane, mild treatment to bring about a radical change with the best possible results". In 1855 he was elected city councilor in Poznan .

In 1856 Heydemann moved as director to the United Royal and City High School in Stettin , where he had completed his probationary year in 1829/1830. During his time, the school was divided in 1869 into the city high school on the one hand and the Marienstiftsgymnasium he directed on the other. He remained the high school director until his death in 1877.

Albert Heydemann was a committed Protestant Christian. In Stettin he was a long-time member of the parish council of the castle community and in 1874 a member of the Pomeranian provincial synod. He held school services twice a week.

Heydemann received an honorary doctorate from the University of Greifswald in 1875 and was awarded the Red Eagle Order, 4th class .
