Julius Czwalina

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Eduard Czwalina (born January 22, 1810 in Tolks near Bartenstein , East Prussia , † February 22, 1896 in Danzig ) was a German mathematics teacher and Freemason.

Life

Czwalina's father was the tenant of Tolks near Bartenstein. From 1819 Julius attended the town school of Schippenbeil and, supported by the school and consistorial councilor Gustav Friedrich Dinter , the Herzog-Albrechts-Schule (Rastenburg) . There he lived with senior teacher Weyl. In the summer semester of 1830 he enrolled at the Albertus University in Königsberg for mathematics and studied with Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel and Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi . On June 14, 1830, Czwalina was one of the founders of the Corps Masovia with Orlando Gortzitza , Ludwig Schadebrodt , Benjamin Stiller, Friedrich Wilhelm Kalau von dem Hofe and seven other students . After graduating, he was a teacher at the Collegium Fridericianum . In the spring of 1836 he came as a senior teacher at the Danziger Johannisschule, later a secondary school . In the autumn of the same year he was offered the 7th full teaching position at the Academic Gymnasium Danzig , which he took up on the New Year of 1837. In 1840 he came in 6th place. In 1856 he was appointed to the 5th position and appointed high school professor. Retired in 1885, his 50th anniversary in office was celebrated in Gdansk. When Masovia celebrated the 60th foundation festival in 1890, at the age of 80 he gave the keynote address at the ceremony in the auditorium of Albertus University. He dedicated a beautiful poem to the corps:

Masovia vivat floreat crescat!

The loyalty is the hold in pleasure and pain
For us, whether clouds move cloudy and nocturnal,
whether sky blue laughs us, and colorful
The earth adorns with its radiant candles .

And love, spring sunshine of the hearts,
you heavenly child, even if not always deliberate,
but in serving, tolerating, helping powerfully,
do not leave us with worries, not with jokes.

But both must
blossom in the purity of the heart if their color should not pale,
and blue-white-red for us a beautiful sign of
being of Masovia's indissoluble unity.

Then remain bound to us for all time,
Whom blue-white-red ribbon wound around.

Czwalina died in 1896 at the age of 86. His son of the same name became a high school teacher in Moers and Bochum .

Freemasonry

Czwalina was a committed Freemason . He was accepted on March 12, 1837 in the Masonic Lodge "Zur Einigkeit" in Gdansk. It was 1842 speaker, 1845 Associated Worshipful Master and 1848 Master of the Chair , a post he held for 50 years until his death.

Two foundations were named after him: The Czwalina Foundation of the Lodge "Zur Einigkeit" to support the daughters of deceased members and the Czwalina-Gymnasial Foundation, which was also administered by the Lodge.
