Christian Gottlob Meinel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Gottlob Meinel (born April 26, 1812 in Klingenthal , † late March 1891 in Schönheide ) was a Saxon elementary school teacher, politician and member of the Saxon state parliament .

Meinel had worked as a primary school teacher at the Schönheiderhammer school from 1835 and at the upper of the four Schönheider schools from 1837.

As a representative of the 48th constituency (Eibenstock and the surrounding area) he was a member of the Second Chamber of the Ordinary Saxon State Parliament in 1849 , where he was included in the democratic party. He was ridiculed by opponents in parliament as the “People's Tribune of Schönheida”. The Neue Münchener Zeitung of October 12, 1849 reviled him in an article with "the hereditary schoolmaster of Schönhaide". Because of his sympathy with the revolutionaries of the Dresden May uprising and his involvement in the riots as well as "because of his ultra-radical activities as chairman of the Fatherland Association for investigation and arrested", he was initially suspended from duty in autumn 1849. The newspaper Die Fackel reports that his salary was set at 70 thalers a year after the suspension and after his suspension calls him “The Leibnitz [sic!] Schönheida's, Meinel the Great” and “the great reformer of Saxony”. In 1849 he was dismissed from school and subsequently sentenced to a year in prison for “preparing the crime of high treason ”. He was eventually pardoned to six months in prison. In a necrology on Meinel in the annual pedagogical report from 1891 , it says about him that he was an extraordinarily popular man: “However, he joined the strivings for freedom, was highly celebrated as a popular speaker and sent as a member of parliament to Dresden, where he was moderate Left connected. "

In Schönheide, after his release from prison, he taught at a successful private school he had founded. Meinel's pupils are mentioned as benefactors in the magazine Die Gartenlaube of 1873. At his instigation, he was reinstated as a primary school teacher in 1882 and retired in 1888. In an article in the Schönheider Wochenblatt on the occasion of the celebration of the beginning of the settlement 400 years ago, a person from Schönheide reports that he went to school in Schönheide and also “went to private school” at Meinel.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Saxony's church gallery also mentions Meinel in 1844, albeit as Christian Gottlieb Meinel. According to the data given by Flath and in Sächsisches Trompeter, there is an identity here.
