Life

Heinrich Ludwig Boerner was born as the son of the cloth manufacturer Adolph Heinrich Boerner. After graduating from high school, he left Siegerland and studied natural sciences at the universities of Halle , Bonn and Berlin at the age of 21 . During his studies in Halle in 1865 he became a member of the Alemannia fraternity on the plow . In 1869 he finished his studies in mathematics and physics with the state examination and was then awarded a Dr. phil. PhD . In 1869 Boerner became an assistant teacher at the secondary school in his hometown of Siegen. After the Franco-Prussian War in 1870/71 he became a secondary school teacher in Frankfurt ad Oder . In 1879, at the age of thirty-three, he was appointed Realschuldirektor in Dortmund and in 1883 he was appointed director of the Elberfelder Realgymnasium. He held this position until his retirement. During this time he proved himself as a school reformer and school builder.

Boerner wanted a Realgymnasium that took special care of the so-called real sciences, that is, the natural sciences, but still integrated the ancient languages ​​such as Latin into the curriculum in order to enable the graduates to obtain university entrance qualifications. He called this type of school Realgymnasium to differentiate it from the humanistically based grammar schools. This type of grammar school met the need for technically experienced managers for the emerging industry.

The state government appointed him because of his educational and scientific achievements in 1908 a Privy Councilor .
