Carl Emil Diezel (born December 8, 1779 in Irmelshausen an der Milz , † August 23, 1860 in Schwebheim ) was a German forester , hunter , philosopher , musician and writer .

Life

Diezel was born as the son of the evangelical clergyman Johann Gottlieb Friedrich Diezel and his wife Louise Carolina Sophia (née von Heldrit). Already in his youth he was interested in science , languages and music, but his passion was hunting . After visiting the high schools of Schleusingen and Coburg he studied in Jena and Leipzig . From 1806 he became a teacher of languages ​​and the art of fencing at the Cotta'schen Privatforstinstitut in Zillbach and after passing his exams in 1809 he was Prince Bishop 's Forest Inspector and State Forester in Würzburg . After his transfer to Kleinwallstadt in 1826 , he remained royal Bavarian forester until his retirement in 1853 , before moving to Grafenrheinfeld in March 1858 and to Schwebheim in September 1858.

He married in Röthlein in 1813 , where he was also a district forester and had four daughters, two of whom and seven grandchildren survived him. Daughter Marie, married to district forester August Völker in Binsfeld , died on March 7, 1860 at the age of 36.

Death quickly overtook the vital Diezel. After he had caught a cold the day before after a chicken hunt and had fainted slightly in the morning, he put his circumstances in order, confessed and passed away at 11.30 a.m. fully conscious. On August 26, 1860, this was the first burial in the Schwebheim cemetery, which was newly inaugurated that day. A later memorial by the Berlin artist Kaup was financed by donations from hunters and inaugurated in the cemetery on August 20, 1905, after the old grave site had almost disappeared.

His work and, above all, his standard work Experiences in the field of low hunt , which appeared in 1849 , set standards and have shaped the German hunting industry to this day.

Diezel was a member of numerous associations, including the " natural research association " in Altenburg , Augsburg , Bamberg , Berlin , Karlsruhe , Frankfurt am Main , Hanau , Marburg , Munich , Nuremberg and Regensburg . Member of the Society of German Ornithologists and Knights of the Order of St. Michael . Streets were named in his honor, a waterfall in Upper Bavaria (“Diezelfall”) and a species was named “Coryphocera Diezelii”. Diezel himself took these honors rather mockingly, occasionally signing “cognomine Coryphocerus”.

The houses at Hauptstrasse 63 in Röhlein (former forester's house) and Hauptstrasse 56 in Schwebheim (former office building), in which he temporarily lived, and his grave monument in Schwebheim are registered as architectural monuments.

The hunter of winter
Welcome me, beloved winter!
You, whom so many sissies scold,
i love you and your children
wrapped in snow and silver.
How beautiful the wide area laughs
covered by silver-colored ice!
How steam rivers and streams there!
How white the forest shines with scents!
The townspeople fear your flakes
Forest and meadows no longer appeal to him;
you powder the curls of the Weidmann,
and he walks along happily!
He longs to go outside even when it's storming,
his lust for hunting leaves him no peace.
Soon a long line of laughs at him
of winter hides friendly too.
