education

He received school lessons from his father up to the age of 10 and then attended the city school in Eisfeld , where he had the opportunity to live with relatives. In the following year he received school lessons from his older brother Johann Michael Christoph Fröbel, who worked as a pastor in Eyba.He trained him in Latin and Greek, so that at Easter 1800 he started the second grade at the Rudolstadt grammar school. At Easter 1805 he began to study theology at the University of Jena and heard lectures from Johann Jakob Griesbach , Heinrich Karl Eichstädt , Johann August Heinrich Ulrich and other professors. On September 10, 1807 he received his doctorate in world wisdom .

Teacher at the grammar school in Rudolstadt

On October 1, 1807, he was hired as a collaborator at the grammar school in Rudolstadt, associated with the inspection of the princely free table and the administration of the school treasury. After the vice-principal Vogt's death , he had to take over the lessons in the third grade until a new teacher was found, and soon afterwards he was also given the teaching of Latin , Hebrew and French in the first and second grades. After a fourth professor had been appointed to the grammar school, Carl Poppo Froebel received the third professorship, but kept most of his earlier tasks.

At that time he was already busy editing the Greek and Roman classics. He planned to publish Sallust in a new review of the text with a philological-critical and historical-aesthetic commentary and glossary , but due to the large number of his official duties he could not find the time necessary for this.

Publisher and printer

When the opportunity arose to acquire the Hofbuchdruckerei in Rudolstadt from Caspar Freyschmidt, he took leave of his school office on July 28, 1815 and from then on ran the Fürstlich Privilegierte Froebel'sche Hofbuchdruckerei Rudolstadt . He tried to improve the reputation and quality of the print shop, using prints from earlier and more recent times as a guide. His works showed an elegance of types, a good consistency of the paper and correct printing; His knowledge of older and newer languages ​​was also an advantage here, because he could carefully proofread, so that he could even correct the authors of the writings, for example the edition of the German-Latin lexicon by Karl Ludwig Bauer received various additions and improvements.

Another advantage was that the Hofbuchdruckerei was free of censorship; Thus the Prussian chamberlain Johann Georg Scheffner had his memoirs, which had been shortened by the censor Ernst Karl Wieland , reprinted in Rudolstadt, with an appendix containing the passages that had fallen victim to the censorship. He also printed the short hop from Frankfurt a. M. to Munich, in the autumn of 1820 , when Christian August Fischer attacked the Bavarian minister Maximilian Emanuel von Lerchenfeld . Although the work brought the publisher Georg Hartknoch († 1832) has eight days in jail and 20 dollars fine and the author of a three-year imprisonment one, but Carl Poppo Froebel remained unpunished because it was under foreign courts , such as the Bavarian State Minister Georg Friedrich von Zentner to was concerned.
