Eduard miracle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Wunder (born May 4, 1800 in Wittenberg ; † March 24, 1869 in Grimma ) was a German philologist and from 1843 to 1866 Rector of the State and Princely School Grimma - in terms of time he was the 20th Rector and one of the longest serving of this school .

origin

Eduard was the son of the deacon and later archdeacon at the Wittenberg city church Karl Friedrich Wunder (born March 20, 1760 in Plauen, † December 20, 1824 in Wittenberg) and his wife Christiane Friederike Ebert, the daughter of the Wittenberg mathematics professor Johann Jacob Ebert .

Life

After his parents' first lessons, Wunder became a pupil at the Wittenberg Lyceum at the age of twelve and, as a child, experienced the siege and storming of his native town by the Prussians in 1814. On August 12, 1816, he moved to the Saxon state school St. Afra in Meißen , which he attended until August 16, 1818. Subsequently, on September 29, 1818, Wunder moved to the University of Leipzig , where he attended lectures by Gottfried Hermann , Christian Daniel Beck and Friedrich August Wilhelm Spohn in order to devote himself to philological studies. Here he was also a member of Greek society for a long time. On February 7, 1823, he earned his master's degree in philosophy in Leipzig and, at Easter 1823, became an adjunct teacher at the Princely School in Grimma.

In the course of time he rose to higher teaching posts in Grimma and received the title of professor in 1826. In 1828 Wunder became fifth professor, in 1830 fourth professor, in 1831 third professor and in 1842 second professor. In 1843 he became the first professor and, associated with this, the rector of the institution, whose fortunes he led until 1866. He worked at this school for 43 years. During his rectorate, Wunder introduced many progressive innovations in school, boarding school and school life. In his personality he embodied the Christian-humanistic ideal of the Saxon princely schools. Wunder was also valued by the higher authorities in the state capital Dresden. In 1847 he was commissioned with a revision of all academic schools in Saxony and subsequent reporting. Wunder was a knight of the royal Saxon order of merit and received the commander's cross (small cross) of the order when he retired. Wunder earned merit in the criticism of Marcus Tullius Cicero , of whose Oratio per Plancio he published a more extensive critical and exegetical edition (Leipzig 1830). His work on Sophocles was particularly well received at home and abroad. In 1866, because of his poor health, Wunder had to ask for his retirement, which was granted to him with the award of Commander II class of the Saxon Order of Merit . A flu-like illness bothered him. There was no fundamental improvement, so that Eduard Wunder died in Grimma on the night of March 24th to March 25th, 1869.

family

Wunder had married Antonia Amalia Bär († September 1871 in Grimma), daughter of the mayor of Königstein Friedrich Gotthold Bär (* around 1768; † 8 May 1852 in Königstein), in 1826. The marriage resulted in a son and two daughters. The son Hermann Wunder (born August 9, 1829 in Grimma; † April 24, 1905 there) also became a teacher in Grimma and had been with Emilie Janette von Wagner (born June 6, 1831 in Freiberg; † 18. September 1910 in Grimma). Doris Wunder (born July 9, 1834 in Grimma, † March 30, 1908 in Dresden) is known from the daughters, who met Baron Johannes Andreas von Wagner on June 14, 1864 in Grimma (born September 5, 1833 in Freiberg; † June 25, 1912 in Dresden) married.
