Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein (born September 6, 1766 in Braunschweig ; † January 12, 1824 in Blankenburg (Harz) ) was a German educator and Protestant clergyman.
Life
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein was the son of a magazine administrator. He attended the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig and continued his education in a scholars' association with Johann Joachim Eschenburg , Justus Friedrich Wilhelm Zachariae , Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Johann Arnold Ebert ; it was there that his interest in French and English literature was aroused. He decided very early on to become active in the school system and was influenced by Joachim Heinrich Campe , who was called to Wolfenbüttel in 1786 to reform the state's school system.
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein gave lessons at an early age, dealt with foreign literature and simultaneously studied theology at the University of Helmstedt from 1786 to 1788. During this time he made translations of English and French scripts for himself and for his mother's livelihood, for example, he translated the biographies of Johannes Calvin and Théodore de Bèze . He taught at the educational institute of the preacher Johann Nikolaus Milow (1738–1795) in Wandsbek .
In 1798 he received a preaching position at the Petrikirche in Braunschweig, combined with an office as a public teacher at the Katharinenschule , and continued to work as a writer, including publishing in the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung .
From 1799 to 1800 he published the theological journal British Magazine for Preachers , which he had published in the Fleckeisenschen Verlag Helmstedt.
When he became general superintendent of the Principality of Blankenburg and Blankenburg's first preacher in St. Bartholomew's Church in 1803 , he played a decisive role in women's education from 1804; To this end, he submitted a series of publications for public assessment from 1807 to 1810. He led the lessons at the girls' school there, which his wife had founded.
He was appointed to the consistory in Wolfenbüttel as consistory and received the neighboring parish of Salzdahlum , but shortly afterwards he was appointed director of the princely orphanage school in Braunschweig, where his wife also taught the students. During this time he also resumed his lessons as a religion teacher at the Carolinum, which he retained until shortly before his death.
He devoted himself particularly to the supervision of the orphanage schools, which he attended every day, even when the gout prevented him from walking, he let himself be carried there in an armchair.
In 1819 he was appointed Abbot of Michaelstein and attended the meeting of the estates ; there he was particularly committed to the school system.
Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Ziegenbein was married to a born Hartmann.

The theological faculty of the University of Göttingen awarded him the theological doctorate.
