Bernhard von Ernsdorfer
Bernhard Ernsdorfer , Knight of Ernsdorfer since 1818 , (born August 20, 1767 in Landshut , † November 30, 1836 in Munich ) was a German teacher of the deaf and dumb.
Life
Bernhard Ernsdorfer was born in 1767 as the son of a Landshut city procurator. After attending grammar school from 1776 to 1784, he began studying theology in Freising. He continued these studies in Munich in 1787 and 1788 and was then accepted into the seminar of the Bartholomeans in Ingolstadt . On October 3, 1790 he was ordained a priest. For five years he served as an assistant priest until he was called to Freising as a teacher at the local normal school .
At the beginning of 1797 he was commissioned to travel to Vienna at the expense of the electoral Bavarian government in order to train as a deaf-mute teacher at the imperial institute for the deaf and dumb there, under the direction of director Joseph May. After his return to Munich in May 1798, he opened a free school for the deaf and dumb in the St. Joseph Hospital, which was relocated to Freising in the cathedral dean's building in 1804 and, after moving to Munich again in 1826, was called the Royal Central Deaf-Mute Institute Freising-Munich . The lessons were given according to the Viennese method. This meant the teaching and application of written language , sign language , hand alphabet and spoken language .
In 1817 his institute was declared a "model institute". In addition, he was commissioned to train deaf and dumb teachers who were then to teach the deaf and dumb as elementary school teachers in the district capitals. This laid the foundation for the establishment of further institutions for the deaf and dumb in Bavaria.
He published works on the theory of language signs and in the field of psychology. In his annual reports, which were distributed to the electoral officials, there were not only his contributions to the history of the institute, but also his presentations on education for the deaf and dumb (today: education for the deaf).
Ernsdorfer's work received special appreciation. In 1818 he was made a Knight of the Order of Merit of the Bavarian Crown and thus raised to the personal nobility . In 1820 the Kgl. Academy of Sciences Munich as its corresponding member, in 1827 as an extraordinary member.
On November 30, 1836, Ernsdorfer died of cholera , which raged in Munich.
The first teacher for the deaf and dumb from the Palatinate, Augustin Violet, was one of his students.
