Life

Heinrich Bone's father died early. His mother therefore had to raise the eight children alone. From 1847 Knoche attended the teachers' seminar in Büren . In 1852 he passed the teachers' seminar with very good grades. He then taught at the Herdringen elementary school until his retirement on October 1, 1892.

Knoche is considered to be a pioneer of the modern arithmetic instruction of the time, for which he created basic principles and teaching methods. In addition to his nationwide influence in education, he also shaped the village life in Herdringen. So he founded and directed a choral society there and initiated folk plays.
