Life

Heinrich Albert Lion, the son of a Jewish merchant, studied philology at the universities of Leipzig and Göttingen from 1814 to 1818 , where he received his doctorate on February 25, 1818 and settled as a private lecturer in 1819. At the same time he worked as vice principal at the Göttingen city school . On June 19, 1825 he converted to the Protestant faith. In the next few years he developed severe hearing loss, which forced him to give up his work at school and university in 1826. From then on he earned his living as a proofreader with the rank of assessor at the Philosophical Faculty (since 1828). For financial reasons he had lived in the neighboring village of Groß Lengden since 1865, where he died in great poverty in 1867.

His children included the gymnastics teachers Carl Theodor Lion (1838–1901) and Rudolf Lion (1843–1893).
