Friedrich Wilhelm Herrmann (also: Hermann , born June 29, 1775 in Mittweida ; † January 17, 1819 in Lübeck ) was a German educator , publicist and professor at the Katharineum in Lübeck during Lübeck's French period .
Life
After graduating from the Naumburg School of Academics , he studied Protestant theology and philology at the University of Leipzig from 1792. In 1798 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD . Herrmann tried his hand at first as a writer and journalist . In September 1799 he became vice rector in Lübben . In the summer of 1805 he moved to Hamburg to take over the editing of the Minerva magazine . However, he could not make a living from it and had to earn extra money by teaching at the Johanneum School of Academics .
Through the mediation of the then director of the Johanneum, Johann Gottfried Gurlitt , he received a call to Lübeck in 1806, which he accepted at the same time as the newly appointed director Christian Julius Wilhelm Mosche . As 3rd professor, Herrmann was also responsible for the management of the city library . Shortly after taking office, the school had to be put through the difficulties of the French occupation. The rooms of the Katharineum, like the neighboring Katharinenkirche, were requisitioned as a military hospital . The teachers held classes in their private apartments until Mosche managed to get the classrooms back.
Herrmann and his colleague Heinrich Kunhardt were among the spokesmen for those members of the college who were critical of the French occupying power and - as Kunhardt wrote - "had hot feelings for honor and fatherland ". Herrmann published various calls for liberation. When the French had withdrawn from the city in March 1813, he gave the great public address to the volunteers who were moving out to the Hanseatic Legion under the title Words of Love and Awakening , Kunhardt and Mosche composed farewell songs to the fighters. When the French returned to Lübeck for a few months (June – December 1813), Herrmann had to flee to Mecklenburg .
After his return in December 1813, he resumed teaching as well as his numerous journalistic endeavors.
He was married to Christiane Friederike Knorr (* around 1780; † July 23, 1847 in Lübeck), the daughter of a landowner in Leipzig. The couple had two daughters and four sons.
Since autumn 1806 Herrmann was a member of the Lübeck Masonic Lodge Zum Füllhorn ; From 1812 until the end of his life he was the successor to Friedrich Ludwig von Moltke, her chairman master.
Herrmann's funeral, at which Mosche's successor Friedrich August Göring gave the funeral oration , was the last in the Katharinenkirche before burials in Lübeck's churches were finally banned (an exception was made in 1844 with the funeral of Heinrich Kunhardt). In the second southern intermediate pillar of the lower choir of the Katharinenkirche a black marble plaque was embedded (the last grave slab of the church), which commemorates him and the director Mosche († 1815), who was also buried here.
