.PNG){kind=small}
Albert Lucian Constans Schott (born May 27, 1809 in Stuttgart ; † November 21, 1847 there ) was a grammar school professor in Zurich and Stuttgart, a linguist and historical researcher and a collector of folk tales.
Life
Schott was a son of the lawyer and liberal politician of the same name Albert Schott (1782–1861). He studied at the University of Tübingen , where he became a member of the “Germania Tübingen” fraternity in 1826 and of the “Feuerreiter Tübingen” fraternity in 1828.
In the 1830s and early 1840s, Schott worked as a "senior teacher of the German language" at the canton school (grammar school) in Zurich , and then until his death at the grammar school in Stuttgart .
His brother was Arthur Carl Victor Schott , who lived from 1836 to 1841 as the administrator of a large German landowner in the Banat . Both brothers developed a keen interest in the Wallachian language and culture there . Schott campaigned for the spread of Romanian in Latin letters and advocated the use of the Cyrillic alphabet .
Act
Schott left behind an extensive, largely unprinted collection of Swabian legends , which is essentially based on the records of his Stuttgart students and is now in the Württemberg State Archives. A selection of these legends was published in 1995 by Klaus Graf . The Swiss folk tales collected by Schott were published in 1984 by Emily Gerstner-Hirzel .
Furthermore, he was a pioneer in research into the South Walsers , mountain farmers who emigrated from the Swiss Valais to the Piedmontese Alpine valleys in the Middle Ages, some of whom have retained their archaic High Alemannic dialects into the 21st century. His work The German Colonies in Piemont , published in 1842, is the first study of the people and language of this ethnic and language group that can claim to be scientific.
