Franz Julius Anders

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Julius Anders (born November 17, 1816 in Budissin (today Bautzen ), † January 30, 1869 in Berlin ) was a German stenographer .

Life

Emerged from a humble background, Anders high school visited his hometown and then studied medical science at the Surgical-Medici's Academy of Dresden and the University of Leipzig , where he also received his doctorate and passed his medical exam.

Practicing initially in Dresden and later as a military doctor in Leipzig , he turned more and more to occupation with shorthand, which he had learned from Gabelsberger's student Franz Wigard in Dresden in 1838 . As early as 1839–1840 and again in 1842–1843, Anders acted as an official stenographer in Dresden when the state parliament negotiations began. On July 4, 1846, he founded the first stenographers' association of the Gabelsberger School in Leipzig .

In 1847, at the suggestion of the President of the Chamber of Commerce Hansemann , Anders moved to Aachen and from there with the Hansemann who had become minister to Berlin, where he completely abandoned his medical profession. We find him there, first as private secretary at Hansemann, then as official stenographer at the first United State Parliament , in the Prussian National Assembly in 1848, in the Prussian mansion (1st Chamber), whose stenographic office he headed from 1849 to 1855, and in the North German Reichstag in 1867.

As a resolute opponent of the Stolze 's system, he tried to give Gabelsberger's shorthand in Berlin a firmer basis by teaching and founded Gabelsberger's clubs there in 1849 and again in 1862.

Anders was less important as a theorist, but the first meeting of Gabelsberger's stenographers in Munich in 1852 elected him as a judge for the writing of a good little textbook on Gabelsberger's shorthand, and from 1864–1868 he was a member of the system committee of the Gabelsberger's school Member at.

In terms of content, his literary activity was also not of major importance. In addition to contributions for the Munich Stenographische Blätter , he wrote the work FX Gabelsberger and his services to shorthand in 1852 and published a draft of a general history and literature of shorthand in 1855 ( Köslin bei Hendeß) . This latter publication received attention as the first special German work on the subject, but can now only claim historical interest. Despite all the diligence, it is not kept scientific, but an uncritical and unreliable compilation in phrase-rich language and with all sorts of oddities. Anders has compiled the actual news from a lot of specialist literature; the attached bibliographical overview is largely based on Namur's Bibliographie paléographico-diplomatico-bibliologique générale ( Liège 1838).

With the uncertainty of the shorthand profession, in which there were far fewer permanent positions at that time than now, Anders often had to struggle with hardship, but nevertheless remained loyal to the shorthand cause.

His death on January 30, 1869 in the Berlin hospital released him from persistent illness and increasing inconveniences. As early as 1857, he had sold the majority of his shorthand specialist library, which had accumulated with many victims and on the basis of which his design was based, to the Royal Stenographic Institute in Dresden.
