Life

He was the son of the classical philologist and grammar school director Diedrich Rudolf Stürenburg (1811-1856) and his wife Amalie Stürenburg, née Hohnbaum. She was the daughter of the personal physician of Duke Friedrich von Sachsen-Hildburghausen . The grandfather Cyriak Stürenburg was the Royal Hanoverian Justice Commissarius and related to the lawyer Rudolf von Jhering . Heinrich's older brother Karl Stürenburg (1842–1865) was also a classical philologist.

From 1857 Stürenburg attended the Georgianum grammar school in Hildburghausen. From 1866 to 1869 he studied classical philology and linguistics with Otto Jahn and Jacob Bernays at the University of Bonn and with Friedrich Ritschl , Georg Curtius and Reinhold Klotz at the University of Leipzig . He was a member of the Philological Society in Leipzig and associated with Friedrich Nietzsche . From 1869 he was a one-year volunteer and fought in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870/71 , where he was wounded. Stürenburg was last lieutenant of the 4th Magdeburg Landwehr Regiment No. 67. He continued his studies in 1871/72 with Moriz Haupt , Hermann Bonitz and Theodor Mommsen at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin . In 1872 he was promoted to Dr. phil. with a thesis on the Roman poet Lucretius . In 1873 he passed his state examination in Leipzig. As early as 1872 he passed the gymnastics teacher examination at the Berlin Central Gymnastics Institute and became a gymnastics teacher (as a secret tutor and professor ) at the Thomas School in Leipzig and in 1883 its vice-principal . In addition, he was from 1874 to 1875 adjunct of the seminar for Russian philology at the University of Leipzig. From 1879 to 1880 he went on study trips to France, Greece, Italy, the Ottoman Empire and Egypt.

From 1889 to 1910 he was rector of the Dresden Kreuzschule. He taught Greek and Latin as well as history and literature. From 1910 to 1920 he was chairman of the state committee for youth care in the Kingdom of Saxony. Stürenburg published on topographical and linguistic topics and was particularly committed to promoting gymnastics. He rejected the pre-military instruction praised by Kaiser Wilhelm I and relied on sports training ("ABC of physical discipline"), which he viewed as more consistent resistance to defense. As a student, Stürenburg was gymnastics supervisor of the gymnastics club in Bonn, instructor of the Berlin gymnastics association and chairman of the preliminary gymnastics association of the general gymnastics club in Leipzig . For his services he was made an honorary member of the German Gymnastics Association.

Most recently he lived with his wife Clara (1861–1928), daughter of the sculptor Bernhard Afinger , who was married in 1882 , in a winegrower's house on Körnerplatz in Loschwitz , a residential district of Dresden. The painter Walther Witting portrayed him. After his death, Stürenburgstrasse was named after him . His children were Bernhard and Gertrud Strüvenburg.

Awards

Stürenburg had received the Landwehr service award as well as the Iron Cross II. Class and the war memorial for the campaigns of 1870-71 . He was also Knight First Class of the Order of Civil Merit and Knight II Class of the Duke of Saxony-Ernestine House Order .
