Gotthelf August Eichler , also Gotthilf August Eichler , (born January 26, 1821 in Körlitz near Wurzen , † September 21, 1896 in Leipzig ) was a German teacher of the deaf and dumb .

Life

Gotthelf August Eichler attended the Royal School Teachers' Seminar in Grimma, which was founded in 1838, and was trained as a teacher there until 1839. In 1849 he received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Leipzig.

In 1841 Eichler became an assistant teacher at the institution for the deaf and dumb in Leipzig, today the Saxon State School for the Hearing Impaired Leipzig, Samuel Heinicke Support Center . In 1850 he married Amalie Juliane Elisabeth Reich (1820-1892), the granddaughter of the founder Samuel Heinicke and daughter of Carl Gottlob Reich , who ran the institution until 1852. In 1852 Eichler was appointed Reich's successor. He was director of the institute until Easter 1896.

A donation of 250 volumes to the school library formed the basis of the library for the hearing and speech impaired in Leipzig that exists today.

In 1997 a street in Leipzig was named after Eichler.
