Life

After attending the Piarist high school in Szeged (1897–1903), Josef Schütz finished high school in Ketschkemet (1903–1905), where he graduated from high school in June 1905. From 1905 to 1910 he studied German , Hungarian , philosophy , aesthetics , logic , psychology , pedagogy , Greek , Latin , English , Russian and Finnish in Budapest and received his doctorate in 1910 with the Finno-Ungrist Josef Szinney with summa cum laude . After teaching German and Hungarian at the grammar school in Fiume from 1911 to 1914 , he received a scholarship to travel to Italy in 1914.

After the outbreak of the First World War, Schütz moved in, was seriously injured by a shrapnel in the head in Galicia and, after a difficult operation in Vienna , took a long convalescent leave. Afterwards he was assigned to the Vienna war arsenal , where he disarmed as first lieutenant in 1918.

When his son Stefan Anton was born (1916), his first wife, Maria Hess, whom he married in 1913, died. In 1917 he married her sister Magdalena, the mother of Maria Josefa Rosl Schütz .

From 1918 to 1936 Schütz taught Hungarian, French, German, Italian, logic, philosophy, and psychology at the German secondary school in Timișoara. Between 1936 and 1941 he was a German teacher at the CDLoga-Lyzeum and from 1941 to 1944 a teacher at the Nikolaus-Lenau-Lyzeum .

Appointed director of the Banatia by Bishop Augustin Pacha in October 1926 , he was removed from this office on June 27, 1942 by the Kronstadt Education Authority and replaced by Anton Valentin . From 1930 to 1940 Schütz was the first chairman of the Banat German Teachers' Association.

After the communists came to power in Romania, Schütz initially kept himself afloat with private lessons. From 1950 to 1956 he taught German and history at the Timișoara Technical School for Building and was again a teacher at the Nikolaus-Lenau-Lyceum from 1956 to 1958.

In the summer of 1960, Schütz suffered a severe heart attack from which he did not recover. He died on the night of December 28th to 29th in Timișoara and was buried in the Iosefin cemetery. Ordinarius Konrad Kernweisz gave the commemorative speech .
