Johann Gottfried Hear

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Gottfried Höre (also: Hoere, Horeius ; born February 27, 1704 in Naumburg (Saale) ; † March 8, 1778 in Meißen ) was a German educator.

Life

Höre studied since October 10, 1722 at the University of Wittenberg , where he also dealt with theological issues and consolidated his strict Lutheran orthodox opinion. On October 17, 1724, he acquired the degree of a master's degree in philosophy, held private lectures, and on September 17, 1736, he was allowed to read aloud as a master's degree for universities. He made a living as a curator at the university library there. With his intention to pursue an academic career, however, he had no luck in Wittenberg.

Therefore, in 1731, he accepted an offer to be the rector of the school in Frankenhausen , in 1736 he moved to the Princely School in Meißen as vice-rector and, in that function, had to do with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing as a pupil. However, he does not seem to have been happy with him, since he greeted his brother Theophilus Lessing with the words "Be diligent, but not as smart as your brother" . In 1751 he became rector of the famous grammar school. He is best known for his collection of poems published in 1740, which was probably the first ever German selection for higher schools.
