life and work

August Sartori was the son of Gottfried Andreas Sartori (1797–1873), the pastor of the Schlutuper St. Andreas Church . He grew up in Nusse , the then Lübeck exclave , where his father was called as pastor in 1828. Theodor Sartori was his younger brother, the shipowner August Sartori (shipowner) was his cousin. After visiting the Katharineum until Michaelmas in 1847, he studied Protestant theology in Jena and Halle, where he became a member of the Corps Thuringia Jena and Guestphalia Halle .

When he returned to Lübeck, he passed the official examination in front of the examination commission of the Ministry of Spirituality in 1853 and became a candidate for the E. Ehrw. Ministry. The employability gained in this way was then limited to the Lübeck regional church . Thus, the candidates had to wait until a pastor's position had become vacant and until then to look for employment, which was mostly a private tutor or a temporary teacher in schools. In 1856 he got a permanent job as a senior teacher at the Katharineum. He also remained a theological candidate for a long time in order to be able to grant his father representation and support in office.

On January 4, 1874, the election sermons began for the defunct parish of Nusse . This was the largest rural community in Lübeck . Senior teacher Satori had waived and the candidates Reimpell and Tischler did not answer. After Carl J. Amann and Mertens, Lindenberg preached on the 18th, followed by Theodor Zietz, from 1876 St. Petri , and Holm.

In 1880 the Senate elected him professor at the Katharineum and appointed him to one of the four highest teaching posts at the grammar school, according to the regulations still in force at the time, while later the title of professor was only awarded to senior senior teachers.

In addition to his teaching post, in which he shaped generations of students, Sartori was socially engaged in various functions. The Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities had no more zealous member than him. He gave numerous lectures, was a co-founder of the Geographical Society and since 1882 a member of the board of directors of the Lübeck teachers' seminar , which he headed from 1885 to 1894 as director. In the non-profit organization he was director from 1877 to 1880 and was a member of its board of directors for two six-year terms. By awarding their gold medal at their centenary festival, together with Wilhelm Brehmer and Adolph Hach , the company expressed its thanks for his charitable work.

Sartori became a member of the editorial committee of the Neue Lübeckische Blätter very early on . After a crisis in 1859, which led to the paper being discontinued for a short time, Sartori founded the Lübeckische Blätter together with the publisher Rahtgens after just a few weeks and was its publisher together with Rahtgens for thirty years until it was taken over by the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities. Under his leadership, the magazine into the leading discussion forum of Lübeck was educated classes .

For thirty years, from 1865 to 1895, he was a member of the Lübeck citizenship . For many years he was a member of the church council of the Marienkirche . When in 1895 the synodal constitution he had long strived for was introduced for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lübeck , he was one of the first synodals.

Since 1850 member of the Freemason Lodge Zur Weltkugel , from 1879–1898 he was their master of the chair .

Sartori's main creative period was in the 1870s and 1880s; During this time, according to his obituary, hardly any non-profit and patriotic company had been founded in Lübeck that would not have made it a point to involve him in establishing it if he had not given the suggestion himself . In 1898 he retired and withdrew from public life. He retired from the teaching profession with a remarkable school program -Abhandlung The psychology as a subject in the Prima , one of the first studies on this area. His last high school graduates in 1898 included Gustav Radbruch , Gustav Brecht , Friedrich Brutzer , Fritz Behn and Hermann Link .

His son Paul Sartori became a well-known folklorist.
