Karl Ferdinand Ranke
Karl Ferdinand Ranke (born May 26, 1802 in Wiehe ; † March 29, 1876 in Berlin ) was a German classical philologist , high school teacher and brother of the historian Leopold von Ranke .
Life
In his position as rector of the Göttingen grammar school and the Berlin Friedrich Wilhelms grammar school , Ranke made great contributions to the educational and methodological redesign of the Prussian school landscape. In 1840 he set up real classes at the Göttingen grammar school in which more English, French and mathematics were taught instead of Greek. In the state of Hanover , he founded the first educational seminar for the practical training of philologists .
Ranke was buried in the Dreifaltigkeitskirchhof II on Bergmannstrasse in Berlin-Kreuzberg (field H1). The tombstone bears a - albeit weathered - portrait relief of the philologist. The grave was dedicated to the State of Berlin from 1952 to 2011 as an honorary grave .
