Life

Carl Friedrich Ludwig Anton Stegmann grew up with adoptive parents, the Protestant-Reformed pastor Ludwig Stegmann († 1886) and his wife Auguste nee. Lauenstein. His father was a pastor of the Reformed church in Lehe , Spanbeck and Eddigehausen (from 1862).

Carl Stegmann initially received private lessons from his adoptive father and from Easter 1867 attended the secondary school of the Göttingen grammar school . After graduating from school on March 22, 1871, he studied classical philology at the University of Göttingen from the summer semester of 1871 . His academic teachers included the philologists Hermann Sauppe , Curt Wachsmuth , Ernst von Leutsch , the historian Otto Hirschfeld and the Germanist Wilhelm Konrad Hermann Müller , whose German Society Stegmann belonged for several semesters. On January 16, 1875, Stegmann passed the state examination for the higher teaching post with distinction and acquired the license to teach Latin, Greek and German for all classes as well as history and geography in the middle and lower classes. Shortly thereafter, he was absent from the University of Jena with Moriz Schmidt as a Dr. phil. PhD . In his dissertation he dealt with the tradition of Cicero's orator .

After completing his studies, Stegmann did his military service in Jena as a one-year volunteer . He completed his preparatory service at the Grand Ducal Gymnasium in Oldenburg (1876/1877) and at the Andreanum Gymnasium in Hildesheim (1877/1878). On April 1, 1878, Stegmann went to the municipal Progymnasium in Geestemünde as a regular teacher , where he was appointed senior teacher on July 9, 1888.

On August 1, 1892, Stegmann was transferred to the Norder Ulrichsgymnasium , where he taught for almost 30 years until his retirement. On June 5, 1893, he received the title of high school professor. On November 1, 1901, he was appointed principal of the school. From 1904 to 1918 he was also a member of the church council and the hymn book commission of the Reformed Church in East Frisia. On October 17, 1911, he was awarded the Red Eagle Order, fourth class, on December 17, 1916, he was appointed Privy Councilor , and on April 17, 1918, he received the Cross of Merit for War Aid . On October 1, 1920, Stegmann retired.

A son of Carl Stegmann was the businessman and shipowner Carl Stegmann (1881–1967).

Services

Carl Stegmann occupied himself with Latin grammar and style throughout his life, and he also wrote individual studies on Plutarch's use of language . His annotated school editions by Roman writers (Cicero's speeches, Sallust , Tacitus ) and his writings on elementary Latin grammar and style, which were also translated into Italian, Dutch and Polish, were widely used. His best-known work is the revision of the detailed grammar of the Latin language according to Raphael Kühner , which he carried out together with Friedrich Holzweissig . Holzweissig worked on the theory of sounds and forms in two volumes, Stegmann the theory of syntax ( syntax ). The revision is a standard work of Latin language teaching and is cited to this day (in the improved edition by Andreas Thierfelder , 1955) after its authors as "Kühner-Holzweissig" or "Kühner-Stegmann".
