Ernst Wilhelm Bernhard Eiselen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Wilhelm Bernhard Eiselen (born September 27, 1793 in Berlin , † August 22, 1846 in Miedzyzdroje ) was a representative of the gymnastics movement .

Life

Eiselen was brother of Johann Friedrich Gottfried Eiselen and attended the grammar school for the gray monastery in Berlin . His poor health prevented him from devoting himself to the mountain subject as he wished, and in the spring of 1813 forced him to resign from his attempt to serve in the army.

At the instigation of his teacher Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, he took over the management of the young Berlin gymnastics center. When the gymnasiums had to be closed in 1819, Eiselen trained as a teacher in history , geography and mathematics and taught at the Plamann Institute . In 1825 he himself set up a gymnastics facility in Berlin with exercise facilities at Blumenstrasse and Dorotheenstrasse 31 . Numerous students who later became famous emerged from these sports institutions.

Eiselen was co-editor of the German gymnastics art as well as gymnastics and fencing instructor even during the time of the general gymnastics ban. He also established the first girls' gymnasium in 1832.

The German fencing terminology was introduced through Eiselen .
