Johann Heinrich Häßlein
Johann Heinrich Häßlein (born February 21, 1737 in Nuremberg ; † October 14, 1796 there ), also Häslein and Häszlein , was a German linguist .
Life
The son of the Nuremberg businessman Johann Christoph Häßlein attended the Latin school in Spital and then received private tuition in preparation for university studies. However, it did not come to study, but he began in 1751 as a clerk in the office of the Nuremberg Rugsamtsschreiber Sauer. For the next ten years, however, he occupied himself part-time with the study of the fine sciences and in those areas of law that seemed appropriate for the work of a good civil servant.
He owed this private training in the end to the transfer of various offices. In 1761 he got a job in the administration of the Tetzel Foundation Commission, whose registrar he became in 1765. In 1779 he was appointed "named" of the Greater Council of the City of Nuremberg. In 1783 he was elected clerk at the Nuremberg Rugsamt, later he became its syndic .
On February 8, 1788, he came - like years later, his son-woman wood - under the name Rizander jasmine in the Pegnesischen flower northern one, whose chairman the following year 1789 Georg Wolfgang Panzer was.
His daughter Albertine Marie Karoline (1773–1798) became the first wife of the Nuremberg art dealer and publisher Johann Friedrich Frauenholz (1758–1822) in 1791 .
In 1792 Häßlein became the first secretary of the newly founded "Society for the Promotion of the Fatherland Industry" and in 1794 he was the calculator and accountant at the "Economic Improvement and Invoicing Committee". He held this office until his death in 1796.
His autodidactic knowledge had meanwhile qualified Häßlein as a literary historian and linguist. He wrote several scientific treatises and published the poems of Hans Sachs with his own explanations in 1781 . He was also a collaborator and, after the death of the former editor Christian Gottfried Böckh (1732–1792), from 1794 (volume 3) with Friedrich David Gräter, editor of Bragur, a literary magazine of the German and Nordic prehistoric times .
