Johann Paul Pöhlmann

Johann Paul Pöhlmann (born November 19, 1760 in Weißenstadt , † December 26, 1848 in Ostheim im Ries ) was a German Protestant clergyman and educator.

Life

Johann Paul Pöhlmann grew up in Weißenstadt in the Fichtelgebirge and received simple lessons up to the age of 15. In 1775 he came to Wunsiedel and began his preparatory studies at the local Latin school there . In 1777 he attended high school in Bayreuth and graduated with honors. In the autumn of 1780 he began his academic career at the University of Erlangen with a major in theology , but he was particularly interested in youth education. He found inspiration in raising children and youth education from Johann Bernhard Basedow , Joachim Heinrich Campe , Christian Gotthilf Salzmann and Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi .

In 1784 he finished his academic studies and founded a private school for higher education in Erlangen .

In 1788 he was awarded the doctoral degree by the philosophy faculty in Erlangen.

After the resignation of Margrave Karl Alexander , Ansbach-Bayreuth became a province in the possession of the Prussian crown in 1791. Johann Paul Pöhlmann then wanted to leave the country, but was persuaded to stay in Erlangen by Karl August von Hardenberg , who headed the incorporation of the province as Prussian minister. In 1805 his private school was converted into a public secondary school; he stayed at the school as the first principal with a fixed salary.

In 1800 he began to deal with writing and published his first works.

In 1818 Pöhlmann gave up working at the school at his own request for health reasons. He was ordained and worked as a pastor in Ostheim im Ries until his death.

He developed the Pöhlmann lute method , a reading method that is not based on the letter name, but on the sounds of the spoken word.

In 1788 he married, from this marriage had three sons and a daughter. His daughter later married the church councilor Heinrich Stephani .
