Johann Gottfried Heinitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Gottfried Heinitz (born October 22, 1712 in Lauban ; † December 25, 1790 in Löbau ) was a German pedagogue and hymn poet.

Life

Heinitz studied from April 14, 1731, first at the University of Leipzig and moved to the University of Wittenberg , where he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy on April 30, 1735 . In 1736 he became vice principal of the school in Cottbus .

In the following year he went to Kamenz as principal of the city's Latin school , where, as a child of the Enlightenment period, he tried to redesign the school in keeping with the times. To do this, he wanted to introduce new textbooks and set up a new curriculum. However, he did not achieve much, especially since his innovations also attracted the mayor's displeasure.

Driven out of Kamenz, Heinitz went six years later, in April 1743, to the Lyceum in Löbau as rector. He wrote many music texts for the church hymn book of Löbau. Famous students of his were among others Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Christlob Mylius .
