Johann Rotger Köne (born August 14, 1799 in Schmallenberg-Berghausen ; † November 12, 1860 in Münster ) was a philologist, teacher, author and dialect researcher.

Life

Johann Rotger Köne was born in Berghausen in the Sauerland in 1799. Its ancestry has not yet been clarified exactly. After the entry in the baptismal register he was the son of Anna Margaretha Keine (probably a king). A father was not listed. According to his obituary, Köne lost his father in the second year of his life. Because of this, he lived with relatives and only went to school when he was 9 years old. After the village schoolteacher's death, the docile pupil was encouraged by the local pastor. Therefore, from 1818 on, Köne was able to attend the Laurentianum grammar school in Arnsberg . The good student took two classes in one year and left grammar school in 1823 with a creditable high school diploma. Subsequently studied at the University of Bonn . Before completing his studies, he was called to the Progymnasium in Dorsten in 1825 . He taught there for three years and completed his studies at the Münster Academy from 1828 to 1829 . He then became a teacher at the Paulinum grammar school in Münster and received his doctorate in philosophy from the Philosophical Faculty in Gießen in August 1833 . In 1860 Köne died in Münster and was buried there three days later.

Köne was the first dialect researcher in the Cologne Sauerland. As early as 1830 he collected material on Westphalian dialect vocabulary and made contributions to Jacob Grimm's large German dictionary . In 1852 he gave a lecture on the "Value of the Westphalian Language" in the Association for History and Archeology of Westphalia. He published several works.
