biography

Harnisch was born on December 26, 1826 as the son of the businessman Johann Harnisch and his wife Beate, née. Born in Cröllwitz, today's Leuna -Kröllwitz. After his training at the teachers' seminar in Weißenfels from 1841 to 1847 he became an auxiliary seminar teacher. His career path took him via Reuden and again Weißenfels to Teuchern .

In Teuchern he became organist and first teacher at the elementary school in 1856 . His starting annual salary was 1,650 marks as well as accommodation in the school, plus he received 480 marks from the church. It was not until 1874 that the official title of rector was introduced at the elementary school in Prussia , which replaced that of the first teacher. Harnisch held his position for 41 years until he retired in 1897.

In 1856, Harnisch founded the "private teacher training institute" in Teuchern, which he also directed until 1890. In doing so, he demonstrated remarkable pedagogical skills for the time . He was also involved “with good success” for the organists and cantors' offspring . Because of the shortage of teachers, public calls were made to support the institution in Teuchern. A total of around 300 teachers were trained there.

In 1860 he was accepted as a member of the Natural Science Association for the Province of Saxony and Thuringia . Harnisch was awarded the Eagle Order, the house order of the Hohenzollern . After his retirement he moved first to Bernburg (Saale) and later to Berlin-Charlottenburg, where he died a widower in 1903.
