Christoph Wilhelm Friedrich Penzenkuffer

Christoph Wilhelm Friedrich Penzenkuffer (born January 25, 1768 in Nuremberg ; † October 25, 1828 there ) was a German pedagogue and linguist.

Life

Christoph Wilhelm Friedrich Penzenkuffer was born as the son of Friedrich Ludwig Penzenkuffer (* 1735; † 1811), legal counsel and assessor at the Appeal and Banco Court in Nuremberg. He had eight siblings.

He visited eight years, the high school (now Melanchthon-Gymnasium Nürnberg ) in Nuremberg and left this 1787. Then he attended at Rector Georg Thomas Serz (1735-1803) a year, the top class of the Latin School of St. Lawrence Church in Nuremberg.

In 1787 he attended Altdorf University and studied theology and oriental languages. In 1791 he then took over a position as court master in Reicheneck with the governor Friedrich Carl Christoph von Scheurl (1752-1838). Although his health did not improve, he decided to return to Nuremberg in the same year.

In preparation for the position of court master, he had studied the English language intensively and now his language skills served him as a means of earning a living by giving private lessons. He also did proofreading work for booksellers, wrote reviews for several literary newspapers and worked out his own publications. In addition to English, he had also started to learn Spanish, Italian and French.

In 1796 he asked for permission to give preparatory theological lectures for high school graduates at the grammar school, for which the city of Nuremberg had no financial means. However, he received the title of professor, which was later confirmed by the royal Bavarian government .

In the period after his return to Nuremberg he created his most important linguistic works until 1809. Due to the extent and thoroughness of the knowledge in these works, he received an offer from the University of Altdorf to take on the position of teacher of French, Italian and English. However, this was undone by the abolition of the university.

When the Bavarian government was awarded the city of Nuremberg in 1806, the grammar school there was reorganized and Christoph Wilhelm Friedrich Penzenkuffer was hired as a full teacher of the French language. There he was also commissioned to create a French language course for all Bavarian high schools.

After he resigned from his teaching post in 1824, he continued his studies and writing activities until his death.

Freemasons

He was almsman and master of the chair in the Freemason Lodge Joseph for Unity in Nuremberg until he was legally obliged to resign as a civil servant in 1804.
