Franz Fauth

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Friedrich Christian Fauth (born April 25, 1841 in Dudweiler ; † October 17, 1905 in Höxter ) was a German educator.

Life

Franz Fauth was the son of pastor Heinrich Ludwig Fauth (born November 23, 1804 in Saarbrücken; † November 10, 1844 in Dudweiler) and his wife Luise Freiin von Meckel (born February 1, 1804 in Wetzlar, † December 12, 1864 in Ludweiler ). He came from an old merchant family in Saarbrücken , where his grandfather Johann Philipp Fauth (born August 18, 1754 in Mülheim / Rhein, † November 5, 1836 in Saarbrücken) was a member of the chamber council, banker and co-owner of a colonial goods wholesaler. After the death of his father, Franz moved with his mother and four siblings to Saarbrücken, where he attended the royal high school. From the winter semester of 1861 to the winter semester of 1866, he studied mainly theology and philosophy at the universities of Göttingen , Halle-Wittenberg , Tübingen and Bonn . Fauth had intended to take up his father's profession. During his studies in 1861 he became a member of the Schwarzburgbund - Association of Burschenschaft Germania Göttingen , at that time still in the Wingolfsbund ; In 1863 he joined the Halle and in 1864 the Tübingen Wingolf . He passed the first theological exam (pro licentia concionandi) in Koblenz in 1865 and the second theological exam (pro ministerio) at Easter 1867.

He then worked as a private tutor in Sulzbach / Saar and Schönecken . In 1868 he went to the royal Prussian seminary in Wittenberg . A throat disease forced him to retire from the pastor's profession and to retire to the less vocal tiring school service. Therefore, in 1870 he passed the examination to become a high school teacher (pro facultate docendi) in Bonn and acquired the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In 1870 he found a position as a provisional teacher at the grammar school in Saarbrücken, and in 1871 he took up the third full teaching position there. In the fall of 1874 he received his first full teaching position at the Royal High School in Düsseldorf, where he became a senior teacher at the educational institution at Easter 1876. In 1879 he followed a call as senior teacher at the König-Wilhelm-Gymnasium Höxter , where he received the title of professor in August 1885 and became director of the educational institution on February 26, 1901. After going on an excursion with his students, he caught a cold on June 30th. As he continued to do his job, his health did not improve. Fauth died shortly after he was given leave of absence.
