Christian von Dillmann

Christian Heinrich Dillmann , from 1882 by Dillmann , (born December 30, 1829 in Illingen , † December 18, 1899 in Stuttgart ) was a teacher and school reformer. The secondary schools in Württemberg came into being on his initiative.

Life

Dillmann was born in 1829 as a son of the schoolmaster Elias Dillmann (1794–1877) in Illingen, where he spent his childhood and was taught. Dillmann was the younger brother of August Dillmann .

In the usual career for Württemberg theologians , he attended the seminary in Maulbronn from 1843 to 1847 and the Tübingen monastery from 1847 to 1851 before entering church service. During his student days he joined the Royal Society of Tübingen, Roigel . From 1854 on he was vicar in Neuenbürg and in 1858 moved to Esslingen as parish vicar , where he taught religion at the local high school.

In the same year he began to study mathematics and natural sciences at the Stuttgart Polytechnic , which he was able to complete in 1859 with the senior teacher examination. He got a job as an assistant teacher at the grammar school in Stuttgart, today's Eberhard Ludwigs grammar school . Here he taught mathematics in the non-Greek classes, the so-called “barbarian classes”.

In 1865 Dillmann became a real professor of mathematics at the Stuttgart high school. On October 2nd of the same year he married Karoline Luise Fehleisen . In addition to his work at the grammar school, Dillmann taught at the royal Katharinenstift from 1862 to 1894 and at the teachers' college from 1874 to 1898.

Dillmann was appointed to the higher education authority in 1873 as senior student councilor. He became a Knight of the Order of Frederick 1st Class and in 1878 was awarded the Order of the Württemberg Crown 2nd Class. The order of the Württemberg crown, 1st class, associated with personal nobility, was awarded to him in 1882.

He died in 1899 shortly before his 70th birthday.

Services

Dillmann developed the Realgymnasium school type in Württemberg . His work "Popular education according to the demands of realism" from 1862 attracted the attention of the then Minister of Education, Ludwig von Golther . Dillmann was sent out in 1863 to study at secondary schools in Prussia and Saxony. The results of the trip led to the separation of the non-Greek classes from the Stuttgart grammar school in 1867 and thus to the establishment of the first secondary school in Württemberg. The direction was given to Dillmann. The institution which was initially still organizationally linked to the Stuttgart grammar school became a full institution in 1872, and Dillmann was its first rector.
