Johann Ignaz von Felbiger
Johann Ignaz von Felbiger (born January 6, 1724 in Glogau , Duchy of Glogau , † May 17, 1788 in Pressburg ) was an active educational reformer in the Habsburg monarchy . During his time as abbot of the Augustinian Canons Monastery of Sagan, he dealt with school problems, as the Catholic schools run by the monastery were inferior to the competition of the Protestant schools.
Life
He studied the educational literature of his time and attended the Johann Julius Heckers secondary school in Berlin, a school that was considered exemplary at the time, to study the methods used.
Felbiger stuck to the Western European basic models of the 18th century - he also helped the basic idea of these models to break through in Austria . In 1774 he wrote the “General School Regulations for the German Normal, Haupt- and Trivialschulen” for Maria Theresa . He also made an outstanding contribution to the original font in German schools in the kk countries. The fundamentals of the school regulations also remained decisive for Joseph II's measures , although the emperor had his own ideas about the methods of securing the expansion of the primary school system, which increasingly competed with Felbiger's ideas. Felbiger's removal took place in 1781 as part of a reorganization of the school authorities. Felbiger was deported to the Provosty of Pressburg , where he died in 1788.
From 1766 he was an honorary member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences . In 1894, Felbigergasse was named after him in Penzing (Vienna) (14th district) .
