Inscription FR. SCHMEISSER on the monument to the creators of this facility from 1886 in Lennépark Frankfurt (Oder)

Johann Christian Friedrich Schmeisser (also Friedrich Schmeißer ; born 1785 in Kriebitzsch ; died December 13, 1869 in Frankfurt (Oder) ) was a German mathematician, philosopher and teacher.

Life

Friedrich Schmeisser was born in the village of Kriebitzsch in the Duchy of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg . He went to the local grammar school in nearby Altenburg . Then Schmeisser studied at the universities in Jena and Leipzig . In Jena he was a member of the Ducal Latin Society. Schmeisser completed his studies as a doctor of philosophy. In 1812 he applied to his old grammar school in Altenburg. Schmeisser became a private teacher for mathematics and ancient languages ​​at the cadet corps founded by August Christoph von Wackerbarth in Dresden. In 1813 Schmeisser published his first textbook.

From Dresden he was called on June 30, 1817 as senior teacher of mathematical and physical sciences at the Friedrichsgymnasium in Frankfurt (Oder). From the fall of 1818 he was also Vice-Rector there .

Residential building Halbe Stadt 9 built for Friedrich Schmeisser in 1827 in 2019

In 1821 Friedrich Schmeisser married Emilia Lassalle, daughter of the late Frankfurt City Councilor Lassalle. So he came to a considerable amount of property. Frankfurt (Oder) granted him citizenship in 1822 . In February 1825 Schmeißer bought a mountain and a summer house from master shoemaker Müller, today's property at Halbe Stadt 9. There he had a new, larger house built in 1827. At the time of construction, the building was number 6, today Halbe Stadt 9. In 2019 it houses the police station and is a listed building.

Friedrich Schmeisser was very committed to converting the former Frankfurt ramparts into a public park. After the ramparts had become militarily pointless in 1820, the area that lay between Schmeisser's property and the western city wall became overgrown. At Schmeisser's instigation, influential Frankfurt citizens got together to create a city entrance from the west and to convert the ramparts into a park. Together with the businessman Michael Martin Lienau , Schmeisser submitted an application to the city for cost coverage. As a result, Frankfurt citizens collected 541 thalers. Between 1825 and 1827, this money was used to pay for a new path through the ramparts, a small bridge (at the site of today's Schmeisserbrücke) and a lockable gate in the city wall. A second collection in 1832 raised 889 thalers. All trees should be felled and the area leveled. Schmeisser bought an oak for 2 talers and kept it that way. Today it is known as the Schmeisser oak and is the oldest tree in Lennépark . In 1832 the Frankfurt city council decided to redesign the ramparts according to the designs of Peter Joseph Lenné under the direction of Schmeisser. Work continued intermittently as soon as money was collected again. In 1842, workers incited by the owner of the Lohmühle destroyed a dam on the moat that was being built for the construction work. Thereupon Schmeisser resigned the construction management. In 1845 work on today's Lennépark was completed, the second oldest public park in Germany after Theresienstein in Bavarian Hof an der Saale.

In 1855 Friedrich Schmeisser went into retirement.

Schmeisser's name is immortalized on the creator's monument in Lennépark, which was inaugurated in 1886.
