Jakob Böser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jakob Böser (born October 1, 1875 in Heidelberg ; † August 21, 1951 in Steinen ) was a German homeland researcher and teacher.

Life

Böser grew up in his native Heidelberg and attended the local elementary school from 1881 to 1885. In the years 1885 to 1892 he attended high school in Heidelberg, Konstanz and Tauberbischofsheim . After completing his schooling, he embarked on a teaching career and completed the teachers' seminar in Ettlingen from 1892 to 1894 . He began teaching in 1894 as an unscheduled teacher in Freiburg-Lehen . In the further course he taught in Berghaupten , Fützen and Aha . There he was employed as a regular main teacher in 1901, but was transferred to Waldmühlbach in 1904 .

In 1907 he came to Birndorf as main teacher , and in 1912 to Bamlach. From October 1914 to October 1916 Böser was in the First World War . From 1916 back in Bamlach he came to Höllstein in 1920 . From 1929 to 1938, Böser was the principal of the Wiesloch Gerbersruhschule .

Böser was a supporter of a home and work school like the one represented by Max Enderlin , whereby Böser distinguished himself from "exaggerations bordering on gimmicks" of this idea. He was also active in the Baden teachers' association, where he tried to anchor his idea of ​​the home school in the curriculum. He also advocated the establishment of a local history institute. As a liberal, Böser was exposed to hostility during the Nazi era .

After retiring in 1941, he returned to the Baden Oberland , where he died in Steinen in 1951.

The home explorer

According to Böser, local studies should not just be a subject, but a teaching principle. Accordingly, he endeavored himself to gain a deeper understanding of the history of his places of employment. In Birndorf he dealt with the history of the saltpeter in the Hotzenwald and in Bamlach with the rule of Bamlach and Rheinweiler . In Höllstein he dealt with the industrialization of a village.

He carried out fundamental preparatory work for local researchers in the Markgräflerland with his bibliography on the local literature of the Markgräflerland and neighboring areas , the main volume of which appeared in 1921. A supplement on literature up to 1932 appeared in 1933. Böser still worked on the second supplement on literature from 1932–1940.

In 1929 Böser was one of the founding members of the working group for the care of the local history of the Markgräflerland and in 1950 became its first honorary member.
