biography

Credner studied theology and education at the University of Jena . He received his doctorate as Dr. phil. In Jena he was an assistant at the educational university seminar . Afterwards he became rector of the municipal school in Eisfeld and he also acted as a preacher in the Trinity Church of St. Nikolai and was superintendent of the Evangelical Church.

In 1874 he was appointed director of the teachers' college in Bremen as the successor to August Lüben. He operated the further expansion of the seminar, which at that time resided in Kreftingstrasse and in the practice school on the Black Sea. He operated the new building for the teachers' seminar in the school on Hamburger Strasse , which he was unable to attend in 1897 for the inauguration. Due to a stroke, he had to give up his service in 1895. His successor was Otto Uhlhorn.

As a pedagogue, Credner represented Herbartianism , a direction of scientific pedagogy that goes back to Johann Friedrich Herbart (1776–1841). But his pedagogy was also strongly influenced by theology.
