Life

Education and employment

Albert Sleumer attended the Carolinum grammar school in his native Osnabrück and studied at the universities of Münster, Würzburg, Kiel and Brussels. In 1899 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. In the following year he entered the episcopal seminary in Osnabrück and was ordained a priest in 1901 . After working as a pastor and high school teacher in Osnabrück and Hamburg, he continued his studies at the University of Bonn in 1905. In 1907 he passed the state examination and became a doctor of theology.

Sleumer then taught at grammar schools in Osnabrück and Hildesheim. From 1909 to 1916 he taught as a religion teacher at the Antonianum Vechta high school . From 1916 to 1925 he was the director of studies in Bochum.

Sleumer was an eminent Latinist and theologian who in 1906 defended the need for church censorship.

Working in the Volapük movement

Sleumer did not begin to learn Volapük until 1892 - after the classic period of the Volapük movement, directly from Johann Martin Schleyer . In 1910, Schleyer named Sleumer as his successor, and when he died in 1912, Sleumer became Cifal .

In 1921, Arie de Jong Sleumer proposed his plan to reform the language, and when that reform was being prepared in 1929, he put it before not only Sleumer but Jacob Sprenger as well. Sleumer, De Jong and Sprenger were the last group to lead the language development of Volapük like a small school.

In 1934 Sleumer issued a decree regulating the rights and duties of Cifals. In 1948 he resigned as Cifal and appointed Jacob Sprenger as his successor.
