Johann Georg Beilhack

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Georg Beilhack (born April 23, 1802 in Ruhpolding ; † October 21, 1864 in Munich ) was a German linguist , educator and from 1856 to 1864 rector at the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich .

Life

Beilhack was one of nine children of a carpenter and small estate dealer in Ruhpolding († 1863). At the age of two he came to live with his grandmother in Unterwössen . There he attended the village school until he was 13 years old. Then he returned to Ruhpolding. He learned the carpentry trade from his father and helped with farming. Due to the family's difficult economic circumstances, he repeatedly stayed in Unterwössen and worked there as a charcoal burner for a year. In his free time he began to study the Latin language and German literature intensively, first independently, then with ten months of instruction from the local parish priest. In 1818, with financial support from relatives, he succeeded in being accepted at the Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munich and, by skipping several classes, successfully graduating in 1823 and obtaining the right to study.

He then began to study medicine in Landshut, and also taught free of charge at the local trade school. In 1824 he became Renonce and later Renoncenphilister des Corps Isaria . On the advice of the philosopher and educator Cajetan Weiller , he switched to studying classical philology at the institute of Friedrich Thiersch, who had recently founded the philological seminar in Munich. He passed the final state concourse for the higher teaching post in 1826 with distinction. From 1827 to 1829 he was the private tutor (Hofmeister) of the sons of the forester Max von Schenk in Tegernsee and in 1830 was appointed by the Bavarian Minister of the Interior as a praeceptor (preparatory teacher) of the 1st course at the Latin school in Munich. 1830 Rector of the school, which was in completely inadequate rooms of the former Fronfeste am Obstmarkt (Angerfronfeste) in Munich, was the pedagogue Johann Baptist Fischer (1772–1845).

In 1833 Beilhack obtained his doctorate from the University of Erlangen with a paper on current educational problems (in his own words "bought" by him to - on the occasion of his marriage (1831) - to compensate for the poor reputation of a preceptor). In 1835 he was promoted to grammar school professor and transferred to the grammar school in Landshut. For the school year 1836/37 (until 1841/42) he taught at the "Alten Gymnasium" in Munich and was appointed rector of the Latin School (lower school level) in 1842, which now moved to a building on Karmelitengasse near the Herzog-Maxburg . In addition, he was a tutor at the royal pagerie for 17 years , where he taught students from the nobility. For this he received the Order of Merit of St. Michael in 1848 .

After the college was closed and the three Munich high schools - Ludwigs, Wilhelms and Maximiliansgymnasium - were founded in 1849, he became full professor of the third grammar school class. In 1856 he was first “interim administrator” of the rectorate, and in the following school year he was rector of the Maximiliansgymnasium, after Halm had been on leave at the beginning of 1856 at his own request and was finally appointed professor at Munich University. As rector, Beilhack emphasized the role of German teaching and achieved that history lessons were given by the class teachers and not by clergy, as was customary until then. During a long illness he was represented by Anton Linsmayer , who also succeeded him as rector.

Beilhack was a member of the conservative “Constitutional-Monarchical Association for Freedom and Lawfulness” and a member of a free corps “to maintain public peace and order”. Through the mediation of HF Maßmann, the founder of the Munich gymnasium on the Oberwiesenfeld, in 1828, he was also given the supervision of the general gymnasium. In 1848 Beilhack was part-time director of the Munich court theater and was a member of a commission that examined new stage entertainments. In 1851 he was appointed substitute and in 1856 a "real member" of the district scholarchates for Upper Bavaria and a member of the "Commission for textbooks to be introduced". After he had joined the cultural society "Die Zwanglosen" in 1852 , he joined the literary-oriented artist group " Die Krokodile " in 1856 .

From 1861 to 1864 he still taught history, geography and Latin as a private tutor to Princess Therese of Bavaria , daughter of the prince and later Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria . Beilhack died after a long illness and was buried on October 23, 1864 in the "Old Southern Cemetery" in Munich. The obituary appeared in the name of the wife, son, daughter and daughter-in-law in the Bayerische Zeitung

In his first marriage, Johann Georg Beilhack had married Kreszenz Härtnagel in 1834; the son of this marriage, Maximilian Beilhack , was born in Landshut in 1835. After his wife's death in 1842, he had a second marriage to Anna, née Lang, in 1844. The daughter of this marriage, Marie Beilhack (born April 22, 1853), married the actor Adolf Reubke (1843-1893). She lived as a poet and since 1880 as a teacher in Wiesbaden.

Beilhack published numerous poems in the popular magazines of the time, including 1829 in "Palm Blätter", 1833 in: "Der Bayerische Volksfreund". 1839 in “Deutsche Theeblätter”, 1840 in “Blätter für deutsche Literatur und Leben” and 1843 in “Charitas. Journal for the Works of Charity in Catholic Germany ”.
