Hermann Tögel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Hermann Tögel (* February 24, 1869 in Lockwitz ; † September 1, 1939 in Weixdorf ) was the deputy director of the teachers' seminar in Löbau and one of the "most influential religious educators at the time", "probably known to every teacher of the Weimar period ."

Life

Paul Hermann Tögel was born in Lockwitz in house number 12 in today's Tögelstrasse. During his studies in 1890 he became a member of the Arion Leipzig singers . Tögel wrote his dissertation on the subject: "The educational views of Erasmus in their psychological justification" on May 27, 1896 and received the title of Doctor of Philosophy. On April 1, 1897, he was appointed permanent teacher at the seminar there by the Bautzen seminar deputation. On April 16, 1898, Tögel was transferred to the teachers' college in Dresden-Friedrichstadt and received the title of senior teacher two years later.

In June 1930 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the theological faculty of the University of Jena . His two-volume biography (“Mein Leben”, Löbau 1936) and the estate were handed over to the Saxon State Library in 1977 .

Positions

Kronhagel attributes him to liberal religious education. In contrast to other authors, Tögels piety tended to take a home-based, but not a folkish position. He spoke out in favor of a “genuinely German Christianity”, which he “did not develop explicitly as a distinction from Judaism”, but by including Germanic beliefs. In contrast to Friedrich Niebergall , Tögel's liberal approach entailed concessions to the “contemporary”.

Trivia

In Dresden-Weixdorf the Hermann-Tögel-Weg was named after his son Georg Nikolaus Hermann Tögel ; the Tögelstrasse in Dresden-Lockwitz after his father Julius Hermann Tögel .
