Carl Wilhelm Ernst Heimbach
Carl Wilhelm Ernst Heimbach (also Karl ; born October 20, 1765 in Hettstedt , † October 10, 1801 in Schulpforta ) was a German Lutheran theologian and educator .
Life
Heimbach is born as the son of the town clerk of Hettstedt Johann Martin Heimbach. For the first eleven years he received lessons from his father and a private tutor . In 1777 his father was transferred to the supervisory office of the Electorate of Saxony in Eisleben . The family moved there and Heimbach attended the Eisleben high school from 1778 . He distinguished himself as a gifted student at the grammar school. In 1781 he passed the exam there and was enrolled at the University of Helmstedt on October 14, 1781 . In Helmstedt he devoted himself to studying theology and philosophy. From 1783 to 1786 he studied philology at the University of Leipzig .
Heimbach returned to Eisleben in 1786 and became court master in the house of the Hanoverian office secretary Johann Eberhard August von Voigt. There he taught his son, who later became Chief Appeal Councilor Carl Anton Adolph von Voigt (1778-1828). In addition, he taught as a private tutor with the permission of Voigt the son of the electoral supervisor Christoph Gottlob von Burgsdorf Ludwig Christoph (1774-1828). In 1789 he enrolled at the University of Wittenberg , where he obtained his master's degree .
Heimbach became a teacher at the Princely School in Meißen in 1789 through Burgsdorf's mediation . In 1793 he was appointed vice rector of the Princely School in Pforta and already, after the death of Friedrich Gottlieb Barth , in 1795 he was rector of the institution. Known for his advanced teaching methods, he had been in poor physical shape since childhood. Accordingly, he was increasingly weakened in the last few years of a rectorate, which was also burdened by a new building.
Heimbach died of tuberculosis at the age of 36 .
