Eduard Karl Heinrich Heydenreich was commissioner for nobility affairs in the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior; Government Councilor, Prof. Dr. phil., and had "Philolithus Montanus" as a pseudonym. He was born in Dresden on May 29, 1852. On the School of the Holy Cross prefigured in Dresden, he studied 1871-1876 philology and history at the University of Leipzig and 1895-1899 history, German language and literature and jurisprudence on the University of Marburg . He received his doctorate in Leipzig in 1874. phil., passed the senior teacher examination in 1875 and that for the Royal Prussian Archive Service in Marburg in 1899. From August 15 to the end of September 1875 he was vicar at the Thomas Gymnasium in Leipzig, 1875-1889 senior teacher at the Albertinum Gymnasium in Freiberg in the Ore Mountains, since 1882 at the same time private lecturer in history at the Bergakademie Freiberg, 1889-1895 senior teacher at the Royal High School in Schneeberg in the Ore Mountains , received the rank and title of royal Saxon professor in 1896, was archivist for the city of Mühlhausen in Thuringia from 1899–1902 , founded the Mühlhausen antiquity association in 1899 and gave its organ, the Mühlhausen history sheets, vol. 1-3 alone, vol. 4 with Kettner out. In 1904 he was appointed commissioner for nobility affairs in the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior and in 1902 the rank and title of Royal Saxon Government Councilor. From 1902 he was also a member of the Committee for Nobility Matters at the Royal Saxon Ministry of the Interior. He was also an honorary member of the Freiberg Antiquities Association, since 1907 holder of the Knight's Cross 1st Class of the Royal Saxon Order of Albrecht. On June 1, 1911, he took over the general secretariat of the Central Office for German Personal and Family History , the steady growth of which was extremely beneficial when led by an expert who was completely familiar with the extensive areas of their activity. The management of the family history papers was also in Heydenreich's hands for a while. During the years 1911 and 1912 Heydenreich also devoted himself to the academic training of young genealogists within the framework of Lamprecht's Institute for Cultural and Universal History at the University of Leipzig. Serious suffering forced him to give up his work at the central office at the end of 1913. Heydenreich's course of development from philology through history to genealogy is also clearly expressed in his literary work. Heydenreich is known for his standard work “Practical Handbook of Genealogy”, which appeared in 1909 first as “Family History Sources” and then in 1913 twice under the first title. Here he mentions as an example of a funeral sermon (without informing the reader of his own ancestry) on Hedewig Sophie Heydenreich née. Fischer (born December 14, 1705 in Dresden; † March 5, 1738 in Dresden-Neustadt ), a granddaughter of personal physician Dr. Henry III. Erndel . Heydenreich has created a work here that can certainly be attacked in detail. However, if one considers the enormous scope of the treated area and the work that was necessary to obtain the statistical material alone, one cannot deny one's respect for what has been achieved.

Eduard Heinrich Heydenreich came from the Saxon Heydenreich family, which includes several famous theologians, lawyers, politicians and officers in their family tree. The uninterrupted lineage goes back to Hannß Heydenreich on Walthersdorf near Freiberg.

estate

Although some papers were kept in the Saxon State Archives in Leipzig-Paunsdorf , the lion's share of Heydenreich's genealogical research remained in family hands until it was auctioned around 2016. This means that very valuable documents from the time before the Seven Years' War are available as a source. Because of the loss of alternative sources such as e. B. the church registers that were destroyed in the bombing of Dresden, the family lost.
