Albert Richter (born February 7, 1838 in Lichtensee near Grossenhain ; † June 29, 1897 in Höckendorf near Tharandt ) was a teacher and educational writer.

Life

At the age of 15, Richter came to the seminary in Dresden-Friedrichstadt as a student in 1853 and successfully completed it in 1857. In the same year Richter got a job in Höckendorf . In 1860 he moved to Leipzig , where he worked at several schools until in 1874 he was appointed director of the first high school for girls, which he headed for 23 years. He fell ill towards the end of 1895 and died in the summer of 1897 at the age of 59 during a recreational stay in Höckendorf.

In addition to his job, Richter was also able to make a name for himself as a non-fiction author. In addition to many articles in daily newspapers and specialist publications, Richter also wrote a number of books with which he helped shape the development of the Leipzig and Saxon school system. Carl Kehr won Richter as co-author for his history of the methodology of German elementary school teaching , where he worked on the topic of "history teaching". From 1874 Richter took over as the responsible publisher of the magazine The Practical Schulmann , which was founded in 1852 by Friedrich Körner . From 1887 Richter was entrusted with the management of the periodical annual educational report for Germany's elementary school teachers , which Carl Nacke had founded in 1846.
