Life

Karl Friedrich Ferdinand Lachmann was the son of the Zittau sub-rector Ferdinand Heinrich Lachmann and his wife Marie Jacobine nee. Noise from Hirschberg ; his mother died giving birth. His older brother was:

• Leopold Heinrich Ferdinand Lachmann (born June 29, 1815; † October 10, 1845 in Königsbrück ), teacher at the Zittau citizen school and later a deacon in Königsbrück.

He also had a half-brother from his father's second marriage:

• Karl Hermann Ferdinand Lachmann, lawyer and court director in Hainewalde .

In 1827 he became a student at the Zittau grammar school and, after finishing school at Easter 1836, began studying theology at the University of Leipzig . There he heard the lectures of Georg Benedikt Winer , Christian Wilhelm Niedner , Karl Gottfried Wilhelm Theile , Rudolf Anger , Moritz Wilhelm Drobisch and Gustav Hartenstein as well as Moriz Haupt .

During his studies he became a member of the Lausitzer Predigergesellschaft , which he headed as a senior at the end of his studies. In 1839 he returned to Zittau after passing the theological exam. After being privatized in the first six months, he became an adjunct of his father at the grammar school in July 1840 and received a full teaching position five years later; In 1854 he became vice rector . On July 22nd, 1865, he celebrated his twenty-five-year teaching anniversary with the director Heinrich Julius Kämmel and his twenty-five-year-old vice-principal's anniversary on October 2nd, 1879; shortly afterwards he retired.

Due to his interest in philological disciplines, he subsequently passed an exam there.

Writing

His father had introduced him to philosophy after Immanuel Kant and he was further trained by Moritz Wilhelm Drobisch and Gustav Hartenstein during his studies, so that he published a number of smaller treatises of philosophical content. He dealt with individual philosophers, wrote experiments on the concept of the art style and took up grammatical and philosophical questions.

He was also active as a poet and tried a historical play, Beatrix von Burgund , which he published in 1865 under the pseudonym Friedrich Thal , but the work was never performed.

Artistic work

Because he was already busy drawing as a schoolboy and as a young man roamed around the mountains making drawings, he thought of trying his artistic skills on motifs from antiquity. He made 16 outline drawings for the tragedies of Sophocles and presented them to the archaeological section of the Philologists' Assembly in Leipzig. After their approval, he decided to publish it and so appeared, introduced by Johannes Overbeck , outline drawings for the tragedies of Sophocles .
