Johann Rudolf Fischer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Rudolf Emanuel Fischer (born July 1, 1772 in Langenthal ; † May 4, 1800 in Bern ) was a Swiss Protestant clergyman.

Life

Johann Rudolf Fischer was the son of pastor Ludwig Albrecht Fischer (born April 18, 1743 in Bern; † October 11, 1806) and his wife Ursula (born January 21, 1744 in Bern; † January 17, 1829 there), a daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Johann Ulrich Walther (1696–1766). He had seven other siblings.

He enrolled to study philosophy and theology at the University of Bern , which he continued at the University of Lausanne , the University of Berlin and from 1795 to 1797 together with Johann Rudolf Steck at the University of Jena , where he heard lectures from Johann Gottlieb Fichte . At the university he met Casimir Ulrich Boehlendorff and Johann Friedrich Herbart , with whom he traveled back to Bern in 1797, after he had offered them private tutoring positions in Bern. He later introduced Herbart to Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi , which had a major impact on his educational work.

In 1797 he became vicar in Schinznach , where he met Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi in Birr , with whom he became friends. In the following year he was appointed secretary and head of the office by Minister Philipp Albert Stapfer ; he dealt with the organization of public education and outlined a project for the establishment of six teacher seminars .

In 1799 he became the director of the city schools and a private primary school teacher seminar in Burgdorf Castle , although the seminar was not supported by the board of directors, despite the minister's intercession, because the latter did not see themselves financially in a position to support the seminar, so he decided in March 1800 returned to the minister in Bern.

Johann Rudolf Fischer died shortly afterwards of typhus ; after his death Pestalozzi continued the seminar he had started in Burgdorf. Pestalozzi's educational institute later consisted of a boys 'school, a boarding school for foreign students, a teachers' college, an orphanage and a school for the poor.

Pedagogical work

Like Pestalozzi, Johann Rudolf Fischer strove for the moral ennoblement of the people through education. Its aim was to help children from the poorest social classes to an upbringing and schooling that would allow their humanity and their strength to develop.
