Life

Aloys Lehnert was born as the son of the miner Johann Lehnert (1848–1900) from Piesbach and his Dieffler wife Anna Scherer (1855–?, Daughter of the Dieffler mayor from 1880 to 1886, Peter Scherer-Marx). The young family initially lived in Piesbach and moved to Diefflen around 1882/1883 to a farmhouse on the Schnurr (today's site of the Dr. Aloys-Lehnert-Weg). Aloys Lehnert was the fifth child of the couple (1st Maria (1879), 2nd Elisabet (1882), 3rd Ottilie (1883), 4th Johann Peter (1886), 6th Anna (1896)). Lehnert's father Johann suffered from severe depression and was found hanged by his children on February 1, 1900 in the barn of the house on the Schnurr.

After elementary school in Diefflen, Aloys Lehnert first attended grammar school in Trier and then Ludwigsgymnasium in Saarbrücken , where he graduated from high school. He then studied German and Romance philology, geography and history in Bonn , Berlin and Paris . In 1915 he completed his studies with the state examination for higher education in Bonn. Directly afterwards he was drafted into the military in the First World War and was taken prisoner of war in 1916, from which he was released in 1919. In 1919 he began teaching at the Dillingen grammar school . Until his retirement in 1953, Lehnert was a member of the Dillingen grammar school board as a senior teacher. The junior teacher obtained his doctorate on December 21, 1922. phil. at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn .

In 1924, Lehnert took over the management of the theater and lecture ring at his new place of work in Dillingen.

From 1925 to 1935 he was director of the amateur stage in Dillingen. Analogous to the Rhenish dictionary, he published a Saarland dictionary in 1932.

Because of his membership in the NSDAP , Lehnert was not taken into account when the head of the Dillinger Gymnasium was filled in 1945. Instead, his politically unencumbered older brother Johann Peter Lehnert (1896–1974), who had worked at the Dillinger Gymnasium from 1915, was the senior director of the institution until his retirement in 1951. He was succeeded by Franz-Josef Röder from 1951 to 1957 .

On the occasion of Dillingen's elevation to town by Saarland Prime Minister Johannes Hoffmann in 1949, Lehnert acted as chairman of the writing committee and wrote a first history of Dillingen in this regard. He also wrote a Dillinger school chronicle on the occasion of the anniversary of the Dillinger Gymnasium in 1953.

In the years 1950–1968 Lehnert was a member of the board of the historical association for the Saar area, founded in 1839 . In addition, in 1951 he was one of the founding members of the Commission for Saarland State History and Folk Research . The commission was set up with the task of scientifically advancing research into the history and folklore of the Saarland. Lehnert published numerous publications on Saarland regional history and the Moselle-Franconian dialect as well as didactic textbooks on German studies in collaboration with his sister Elisabeth Lehnert.

At the end of 1968 he completed an extensive local history of the city of Dillingen / Saar, on which he had worked for years. On June 16, 1976, he was buried in the St. Johann cemetery in Dillingen. Aloys Lehnert was married and had a son and a daughter.
