Ferdinand Callin

Ferdinand August Callin (born March 22, 1804 in the Behre (today the municipality of Adelheidsdorf ) near Celle ; † March 10, 1887 in Hanover ) was a German school director , educator and publicist .

Life

Born in 1804 in Celle during the so-called “ French era ” of the Electorate of Hanover , Ferdinand Callin first attended the grammar school there in Celle , then the one in Hanover . In the early days of the Kingdom of Hanover he studied theology , history , philosophy and language in Göttingen at the university there from 1823 to 1826 .

From 1828 to 1836 Callin worked as a teacher in Courland .

After the end of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover , Ferdinand Callin went to Hanover in 1839, where he worked as a main teacher at the higher middle school founded by Adolf Tellkampf in 1835 . Also in 1839 the members of the Hanoverian magistrate - similar to the Göttingen seven - protested in the Hanoverian constitutional conflict against the repeal of the constitution by King Ernst August von Hanover by refusing to participate in the new elections for the assembly of estates and on June 15, 1839 at the federal assembly protested in Frankfurt am Main against the negotiations of the 2nd Chamber of the Estates Assembly - but without success. In this situation and during the so-called " March Revolution ", Ferdinand Callin took part in the People's Assembly in the Ballhof on March 16, 1848 , through which the "Twelve Demands on the King" were passed. At the same time Callin became the leading member of the “ Volksverein ” founded in the Ballhof .

In August 1848 Callin was a member of a delegation of the united people's associations, which presented King Ernst August with a further petition , which he did not accept. In the same year Callin was elected vice-president of the "Patriotic Association" founded in autumn 1848.

After the municipal middle school was founded in Hanover in 1850, Callin was appointed director in 1853. Under his leadership, the school was renamed the Höhere Bürgererschule I in 1868 after Prussia annexed the Kingdom of Hanover in 1866 .

Meanwhile Callin, who was politically close to the National Liberals, had opposed the new catechism during the catechism dispute in 1862.

A few years after the founding of the German Empire , Callin was retired in 1874 . During this phase of his life he was - as the successor to Pastor Hermann Wilhelm Bödeker - chairman of the Hanoverian animal welfare association , most recently its honorary president.

Honor grave

After Ferdinand Callin's death, a grave of honor was set up for him in the Engesohde city cemetery , in today's department 30R , grave number 5a-5b . On March 22nd, 1889 - the 85th birthday of the deceased - a grave monument donated by his friends and admirers was unveiled there with a relief portrait created by the sculptor Georg Hurtzig .
