Friedrich Wilhelm Klumpp (born April 30, 1790 in Reichenbach , † July 12, 1868 in Stuttgart ) was a German educator .

Friedrich Wilhelm Klumpp, known as a defender of realism in youth teaching , devoted himself to theological studies and was appointed to Stuttgart as a high school professor in 1821 , where he soon opened a gymnasium .

His polemic caused a stir : The learned schools, based on the principles of true humanism and the demands of the time (Stuttgart 1829–30, 2 vols.).

In it, he demands that the initial language training should only take place in the mother tongue . This is followed by foreign language lessons , which take place from 10-14 Year of life should still be the same for realists and humanists.

Only then, with the choice of career , should both separate from each other. After he closed Stetten himself with his principles in the desire granted to him by the king to establish an educational institution , he gradually returned to the existing tradition.

In this modified form, they had a major impact on the establishment of the academic schools (school plan from 1845) and the secondary schools ( on the establishment of secondary schools , Stuttgart 1836) in Württemberg, especially since Klumpp had been appointed to the higher education authority in 1849 .

In this position, Klumpp earned, among other things, the introduction of gymnastics lessons in schools and the establishment of the gymnastics teacher training institute. He also edited the 3rd edition of Guts Muths ' "Gymnastik" (Stuttgart 1847).
