Life

Fiella first learned surveying and worked as a cartographer in Meppen and Hanover. In 1962, what was then a great typewriter instructor was looking for course instructors who were to teach tactile typing in evening classes on a part-time basis. He took up this second job, although it was a challenge for him. Soon a manager was needed for northern Germany who was supposed to set up new structures there full-time. Fiella gave up his job with the authority and now devoted himself entirely to his new line of business and the associated expanded tasks. Influenced by his training as a surveying technician, he took a critical look at the learning method that was already in use at the turn of the century. So he dealt intensively with modern learning research and in 1974 developed his learning method “fiellascript”. With these instructions he made it possible, using a mental method, to open up new ways to learn how to use the keyboard. The learning program established itself in science and teaching in the course of the 1980s, along with many other methods of learning to write with touch.

To spread the learning method, Hartmut Bomberg founded Fiellascript Verlag in 1984. Fiellascript Verlag Gerta Hertel & H.-J. took over the further development and publication of the teaching materials in 2012. Wegener GbR.

Karl Fiella died at the age of seventy on March 24, 1999 in Vienna.
