biography
Evil was the son of an elementary school teacher. He grew up with three younger and four older siblings, including the music teacher Hermann Böse . From 1896 to 1899 he attended the teachers' college in Alfeld . He then worked as a teacher in Hildesheim and Bremen and from 1902 at the Taubenstrasse school in Hamburg. Here he quickly joined the reform-oriented art education movement around Alfred Lichtwark . In 1903 he joined the teachers' association for the maintenance of artistic education , which later merged with the Society of Friends of the Fatherland School and Education System.
Böse, who taught at the Binderstraße seminary school from 1916, did not have to do military service due to his teaching activities during the First World War . In 1921 he moved to the Fritz-Schumacher-Siedlung in Langenhorn in the house Timmerloh 25, right next to today's Fritz-Schumacher-Schule , in which he taught from 1923. Böse, who painted, played the piano, organ and violin, established art educational working groups for students and their parents. From 1924 he also gave courses at the adult education center. From these working groups, the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg developed , which Böse founded in 1925 and which initially consisted of 79 members.
Böse, who had belonged to the SPD until 1933 , was briefly dismissed by the National Socialists after they came to power . In 1937 he joined the NSDAP , but returned to work for the Social Democrats after the end of World War II . Until his death he led the stylus art association, for which he was partially exempted from teaching. His eldest daughter Gerda (1910–1970), who had already supported him during his lifetime, took over the management of the association after the death of Johannes Böses.
Ludwig Meidner created a portrait of Johannes Böse, which was published as an etching by the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung in 1952 . For the grave of Johannes Böse in the Ohlsdorf cemetery , Hans Martin Ruwoldt created the gravestone depicting a bird (grave location S 11-127, near Chapel 1). Bad Frau Käthe, geb. Pohlmann (1881–1959) and their daughters Gerda and Maren (1916–1961) were also buried in the grave.
Since April 1, 1959, the Johannes-Böse-Weg in Langenhorn has been a reminder of the former educator.
