The Francke Institutes 1749

Hieronymus Freyer (born July 22, 1675 in Gantkau near Kyritz (Mark Brandenburg), † June 15, 1747 in Halle ) was a German educator and historian. He worked at the Francke Institute in Halle for 49 years .

Life

Freyer's father was the pastor Joachim Freyer. When his father died, Freyer was eight years old. After finishing school, he began studying theology, about the course of which nothing is known. In 1698 he received a position as informator ordinary in the Francke Institutes and in 1705 became inspector there as the successor to Christian Jacob Koitsch . In 1715 he married Maria Katharina Lehmann from Glaucha and had seven children, six of whom he survived. He held his position in the Francke Institutes until his death. He died at the age of 71.

Act

Freyer himself saw the main area of ​​his work as a teacher of rhetoric, Latin, history and geography in the Francke Institutes. From today's point of view, however, his greatest achievement lies in the management of the pedagogy of the institutions and its development into an excellent and exemplary teaching institution. He was also known for his written works, which were printed in up to twelve editions throughout the 18th century. This also included his instruction on Teutsche Orthographie , which appeared in four editions from 1722 to 1746 and formed an important basis for later orthographic works , both pedagogically and lexically.
