Gottfried Ramsauer

August Jacob Gottfried Ramsauer (born January 14, 1827 in Oldenburg ; † July 8, 1904 there ) was a German teacher, most recently a secret high school supervisor, and prince educator at the grand ducal court in Oldenburg.

Life

Gottfried Ramsauer was the sixth child of the Prince Educator Johannes Ramsauer (1790–1848) and his wife Wilhelmine nee. Schultheß (1795-1874). He grew up in an extended Christian- Pietist family in Oldenburg. He and his thirteen siblings initially received lessons from his father. From 1839 to 1845 he attended the Alte Gymnasium Oldenburg . From 1845 he studied theology in Halle and Göttingen . In July 1849 he passed the Tentamen and studied from 1850 to 1852 in Bonn and Berlin in addition Philology . He then got a job as an assistant at the grammar school in Oldenburg. In 1854 he became the third collaborator (assistant teacher). In 1860 he received the title of professor.

In the same year he became educator of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Oldenburg Friedrich August . From 1863 to 1878 Ramsauer worked as a pastor in Oldenbrok near Ovelgönne . During this time he was also the clerical district school inspector for the schools in the communities of Wardenburg , Zwischenahn , Edewecht and Rastede . At that time, the religious school supervision was criticized and Ramsauer was criticized because of his often arbitrary decisions on the part of the teaching staff.

On May 1, 1878, he was appointed to the Evangelical High School College in Oldenburg as a high school councilor. In 1895 he was retired as a secret high school councilor.
