Christian Ernst August Groebel
Christian Ernst August Groebel (born December 22, 1783 in Flemmingen near Naumburg (Saale) ; † June 24, 1854 in Dresden , Kingdom of Saxony ) was a German classical philologist and high school teacher . For 32 years, from 1816 to 1848, he was rector of the Dresden Kreuzschule .
Life
Gröbel's father was pastor Christian Ernst Gröbel, who held the pastoral position in Flemmingen for over 45 years from 1761 until his death. He taught his son until he came to Schulpforta in November 1797 . The pastor's son then studied theology and philology at the University of Leipzig from Easter 1803 to Christmas 1807 , with Gottfried Hermann among others . On the recommendation of the rector Karl David Ilgen , who was already active at the end of his school days, he returned to Schulpforta in January 1808 as a collaborator (assistant teacher). In 1809 he was transferred to the Lyceum in Annaberg as vice-principal and in 1811 to the Görlitz grammar school in the same position . There he also taught French .
The Dresden city council gave him the post of vice rector in 1814 and in October 1816 - after Christian Heinrich Paufler's death - the rectorate of the Kreuzschule , which he led out of the shadow of the Kreuzchor and into a new bloom. During his administration until October 1848 he accepted 2,884 students into the Kreuzschule.
In his honor, the city of Dresden renamed Schulstrasse in the town of Löbtau, which had been incorporated the year before, into Gröbelstrasse in 1904, the 50th year he died .
Works
During his time in Görlitz, Gröbel wrote his New Practical Guide to Translating from German into Latin , which he repeatedly improved in Dresden, so that a total of 15 editions were published from 1813 to 1854. He had given it to the cross school teacher Louis Franz Götz , who published the 19th edition in 1867. The book was particularly popular in Saxon schools.
A practical grammatical elementary book of the Latin language followed in 1840.
Furthermore, he published various scholarly programs from 1819 to 1833 ( Observationum in scriptores Romanos classicos spec. I to XIII ) and Editionis Horatii a Christ. D. Jani coeptae gradendae spec. 1 to 4 (1832-1845).
