Eduard Heinel (writer)
Eduard Friedrich Richard Heinel (also under the pseudonym Palaiophilus Prutenos ; born September 5, 1798 in Marienburg ; died February 17, 1865 in Koenigsberg ) was a German writer and pastor.
Life
Eduard Heinel was the son of the pastor and superintendent Friedrich Heinel († 1813), his mother a née Skubovius. He attended the Latin school in Marienburg and then the grammar school in Elbing . From 1818 he studied theology and philosophy in Königsberg with Johann Friedrich Herbart , where he received his doctorate in philosophy in 1823.
During his studies he was involved in an investigation into demagogic activities , since he had become a member of the old Königsberg fraternity in 1818 . There was no punishment and he was allowed to take the first theological exam, but was then excluded from any state employment. He first became a teacher at the girls' school and private teacher in Elbing. In 1824 he was given an amnesty at the instigation of President Theodor von Schön , was allowed to take the second exam and at the end of 1824 became pastor in Ladekopp , a village in the Vistula delta . In 1826 the parish and church burned down and he rebuilt them.
In 1830 he became pastor in Tannsee, in 1842 a deacon at the old town parish church in Königsberg and in 1859 he was archdeacon there . He died in 1865 at the age of 66.
Heinel was a liberal-minded man and, in his popular scientific writings, endeavored to educate the population theological, philosophical and, above all, historical. His school books, his versed historical dramas and numerous magazine articles also belong here. In 1823 his Gedrängte Uebersicht der patriotic history appeared , a brief history of Prussia known as "Kleiner Heinel", which subsequently saw numerous editions - the 19th edition appeared in 1878, a revision last in 1908. A somewhat more extensive version first appeared in 1829 ( History of Prussia für das Volk und die Jugend ) and a detailed Prussian history in five volumes appeared from 1835 to 1848, with Heinel only authoring the first three volumes. Volumes 4 and 5 with the well-known woodcuts by Adolf Menzel were written by Franz Kugler .
Heinel's lyrical work consists mainly of idyllic verse narratives, including a version of the book Tobias in verse, and individual poems that were only published in 1865 by Karl Heinrich Bartisius. Before that, his poems appeared in a volume with ballads from 1828 and in the East and West Prussian Musenalmanach from 1856 to 1861.
