Life

Hedicke is the son of the theologian and educator Heinrich Wilhelm Hedicke (born June 21, 1801 in Güsten ), preacher at the St. Nikolai Church since 1824 , director and city school inspector in Zerbst from 1833 .

After graduating from the Zerbster Gymnasium in 1859, Hedicke studied Greek and Latin philology at the universities of Göttingen and Berlin, where he received his doctorate in philosophy in 1862 with a thesis on the Roman historian Curtius Rufus . Hedicke then went to school and initially took up a position as a teacher of Latin and history in his home high school in Zerbst, where he was also appointed third alumnate inspector on October 31, 1863. In 1868 he switched to the Karls-Gymnasium in Bernburg as a senior teacher . This was followed by senior teaching positions in Bielefeld (1873) and Quedlinburg (1879), where he was appointed first senior teacher and in 1883 high school professor. In 1885 he became the director of a full institution for the first time and took over the management of the grammar school in Sorau . Most recently, he was director of the grammar school in Freienwalde (Oder) from 1898 .

In his philological work, Hedicke continued to deal extensively with Curtius. In addition to investigations into questions about manuscripts such as the De Curtii fide atque auctoritate , published in 1870 , Hedicke published an edition of his Historiae Alexandri Magni Macedonis for the Bibliotheca Teubneriana in 1908 , in which the readings of the five manuscripts essential for tradition were "fairly completely listed" for the first time . In addition, Hedicke wrote and published text-critical studies on Tacitus and published a text-critical edition of his Agricola . During his time in Freiwald he published the Studia Bentleiana and Cornelii Taciti de vita er moribus Iulii Agricolae liber as program treatises .
