Emilie Heins

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emilie Heins (born March 5, 1776 or 1778 in Hamburg ; † February 3, 1831 in Heidelberg ) was a German educator . In 1829 she was honored by the city of Heidelberg for managing the former "Rudolphi Institute".

Life

Emilie Heins, the youngest daughter of the Hamburg businessman Bernhard Andreas Heins, was admitted as an orphan to Caroline Rudolphi's girl education institute in Hamm near Hamburg at the age of 16 . There she trained as an educator through practical assistance after her actual school days.

In 1803 she took part in the relocation of the institute to Heidelberg and was already working as an assistant to Caroline Rudolphis. Emilie Heins was respected as an educator by visitors and friends of the Heidelberg Institute, as is attested, for example, for Johann Heinrich Voss by his wife Ernestine .

After the death of Caroline Rudolphi, Emilie Heins decided to initially continue the educational institution on a smaller scale. However, in the following twenty years she gave her another heyday, from 1816 on together with her sister Elise Bartholomay (〰 December 26, 1773 in Hamburg; † February 27, 1843 in Heidelberg), who had also been trained in Hamburg by Caroline Rudolphi .

Emilie Heins died after a long illness on February 3, 1831. The institute continued to exist until around 1840 under Elise Bartholomay.

Services

Emilie Heins continued the prestigious educational institute of Caroline Rudolphi "beautiful and happy with just as much a motherly as a childlike spirit" and earned the praise of well-known people. Clemens Brentano speaks of the "excellent Heins" (letter to Johann Georg Zimmer on June 6, 1811). On August 18, 1829, the city of Heidelberg presented the sisters Heins and Bartholomay with an honorary diploma from the city council and the citizenry for the anniversary of the institute. The document still preserved honors the services of Caroline Rudolphi, Emilie Heins and Elise Bartholomay and testifies to the social importance of the educational institute for Heidelberg.
