Life

Andreas Gravenhorst devoted himself to the study of theology in Halle , worked from 1707 to 1716 as an informator at the pedagogy of the Francke Foundations in Halle and in 1716 received a preaching position in Schönberg in Saxony . He gave this up after four years of activity when he was offered the rectorate of the school in Hachenburg in the Westerwald in 1720 . He published several writings, including a programmatic account of his work at his school ( Complicated report from the establishment of the Latin School in Hachenburg , Frankfurt 1722), the new, improved edition of Dresser's Greek reading book ( Dresseri collectiones litteraturae graecae, edidit et Posselii colloquiis familiaribus auxit , Berleburg 1726) as well as some school programs:
