Emanuel Gottlieb Flemming

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emanuel Gottlieb Flemming , also Immanuel Gottlieb Flemming (born April 3, 1772 in Jüterbog , † February 13, 1818 in Dresden ) was the founder of the Saxon blind system.

Life

Flemming studied Protestant theology in Leipzig . He worked as a private tutor for a number of years. In Berlin he met Johann August Zeune , at whose institution for the blind he taught. In 1807 he married Ernestine Winkler in Berlin (born April 8, 1781 in Berlin; † March 16, 1845 in Dresden). At the beginning of 1809 he opened the Royal Institute for the Blind in Dresden, supported by King Friedrich August , financially supported by the "Zum Goldenen Apfel" lodge. Here Flemming and his wife began teaching several blind students. In 1811 the company moved to its own house with a garden, which the Saxon Minister Peter Karl Wilhelm von Hohenthal made available. From 1813 the institution received permanent support from the king. Flemming died in 1818 and was buried in the (second) Annenkirchhof in Dresden. The institution for the blind was continued by Ludewig Steckling, who also married Flemming's widow in 1819. In 1825 it was merged with the Schütze'schen Blindenanstalt, nationalized in 1830 and moved to Chemnitz-Altendorf in 1905 .

Flemming's son Emanuel Friedrich Flemming (born August 8, 1814 in Dresden, † November 21, 1891 in Braunschweig ) became the first director of the institution for the blind in Hanover in 1843 .
