Hauschild was a teacher in 1830 at the Amalienburg educational institution near Grimma / Saxony, then in Dresden and Leipzig. There he introduced the girl to gymnastics in 1855 . The year before, he had joined the Apollo Masonic Lodge in Leipzig . From 1857 to 1859 he was headmaster in Brno and from 1859 director of a citizens' school in Leipzig, where he campaigned for school reforms. In 1864, Hauschild took up the then unusual wish of Moritz Schreber, who died in 1861, for playgrounds and gymnastics areas suitable for children and created the so-called "Schreberplatz" with over 250 men and women from the Leipzig bourgeoisie. Actually a school association, which was formed in cooperation with the parents of his students, but no one wanted to christen it either a school or educational association and so it was named in honor of the late Schreber. Later the allotment garden developed from it . The child and youth work was continued under the name Schreberjugend. The Schreberjugend exists as a children and youth association to this day and is divided into a federal association and several regional associations and local associations.
