Karl Christian Heyler (born April 20, 1755 in Buchsweiler , Alsace ; † November 30, 1823 in Kandel (Palatinate) ) was a German pedagogue , classical philologist , publicist and specialist author.
Live and act
Karl Christian Heyler came from Buchsweiler, then capital of the Hesse-Darmstadt belonging Hanau-Lichtenberg . He was of Lutheran religion, born as the son of the stocking dyer Johann Justus Heyler and his wife Anna Margarethe geb. Döck.
Heyler attended grammar school in Buchsweiler and studied from 1773 at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen , where he received his doctorate in world wisdom in 1779 . Here he also got to know Christian Heinrich Schmid and Karl Friedrich Bahrdt . From 1775 on, Heyler worked as a teacher of ancient languages, geography and history at the city's educational center. From 1777 he edited and published volumes 1–8 of the “Archives for the exercising art of education” published in Gießen , a specialist publication for educators, which was continued in 1781 by Johann Friedrich Roos .
When the Count zu Leiningen was looking for a director for the Grünstadt grammar school in 1779 following the departure of David Christoph Seybold , the well-known philologist Christian Gottlob Heyne recommended that Karl Christian Heyler be appointed to this post. He worked here as headmaster until 1789, when he was succeeded by Friedrich Christian Matthiä and in that year he switched to the grammar school in his hometown Buchsweiler. The local historian Johann Georg Lehmann reports on the time in Grünstadt :
“ Seybold, who graduated from grammar school in Buchsweiler in Alsace in 1779, received Professor Carl Christian Heyler as a worthy successor. Under him, especially through his lively recitation of history, the youth's zeal for this study was awakened. The school became more and more prosperous, more and more harmoniously organized inside, more and more comprehensive the curriculum and more appropriate the method, more and more the eagerness and progress of the learners. This was one of the most beautiful times at the grammar school, also because the teachers were linked by the most intimate friendship, and this prompted mutual confidential discussion and consultation, and thus only a common work according to a plan, to a purpose and to a goal made possible. "
In the First Coalition War , the Buchsweiler grammar school was destroyed in 1793 and had to close. The sovereign Ludwig IX. of Hessen-Darmstadt then appointed Karl Christian Heyler to the Lutheran pastor of Memprechtshofen, which belongs to his territory . In 1804 he became a pastor in Weißenburg and in 1808 he returned to school as director of the Strasbourg grammar school and professor of ancient literature . From 1810 until his death he worked as a pastor in the Palatinate town of Kandel , where from 1816 he was also a district school inspector .
Heyler was married from 1777 to the pastor's daughter Wilhelmine Florentine Charlotte Mallinckrodt from Gießen (1753-1817).
In addition to editing and publishing the “Archive for the Exercising Waldorf Education” , Heyler wrote a large number of educational specialist publications, including an appendix to Johann Peter Miller's Greek grammar in Gießen in 1776 . In 1784 he published a short history of the grammar school in Grünstadt under the title "From the former Heningische Klosterschule: A contribution to the history of the Leiningischen public education system" and in 1781, in volume 9 of the "Archive for the exercising art of education" (pp. 1-40) , a detailed description of the school there.
