Bernhard Sökeland (philologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Sökeland (born September 19, 1797 in Darfeld , today part of Rosendahl ; † February 28, 1845 in Coesfeld ) was a German philologist and historian , and from 1828 the first director of the new state high school in Coesfeld.

Life

Bernhard Sökeland attended the Paulinum grammar school in Münster . From 1816 he first studied classical philology and history in Münster, then from 1820 to 1822 in Berlin and Bonn . At Easter 1823 he became a teacher in the upper classes at the grammar school in Münster, where he had already worked as an assistant teacher in the school year 1819. In the autumn of 1828 he took over as director of the newly established Nepomucenum state high school in Coesfeld . He died on February 28, 1845 while working for the school entrusted to him.

In addition to the actual philological studies, he was particularly concerned with history, namely the history of his homeland. In later years he put on a herbarium of all the plants found in the Münsterland and a collection of fossils. The town of Coesfeld, whose history he published in 1839, honored his memory by naming a street near the train station after him.
